ELIS Status already OPTIMIZED?

[CourMad 11]

Hello everyone,

so today I received my visa in the postal service of Germany, I signed up online to the ELIS and paid the fees, the case status says already optimized, what does that mean? have a look at the attached snip.

thanks a lot and have a great day!

Regards

I also signed up the same day I received the visa and it instantly said optimized and I have not POE'd as yet. I do know or from following the ELIS forum I've read that production of the actual green card will not be initialized until we pay the fee OR POE, whichever is second

thanks for the reply, but I still did not fly to the US

does that mean that the GC is ready and awaiting my arrival or what? lol

it's weird

From what I've read, its production won't be triggered until u enter the US. Go over the the ELIS forum when you have a chance and read up a bit. Your most welcome

That is good news! It means your fee has made it through all the steps, now they are just waiting to generate it and send it out. It will probably show up about 6 weeks after you arrive. The green card is not a big deal because your visa is a temporary green card for up to a year.

Be sure to get to a SSA office as soon as possible after POE to ensure production of your SSN. We followed the rules that said wait three weeks only to be disappointed.
