Hello. I got a notification (e-mail and text) today from the original USCIS site that ‘New Card Is Being Produced’ on I-485. New site is not updated. 

 

I am very happy.

My interview experience:

 

Length: About 20 minutes. 

 

My Lawyer had already arrived early. My petitioner (USC Mother) and I arrived about 45 minutes before interview time.

 

I wore my signature suit and Tie. 

 

I was called on time. My lawyer instructed that my mom stays in the waiting room.

 

IO checked my ID. I took the Oath. From the start, IO said he was a little confused because my 2001 ETA 750 Labor Certification said EWI which was clearly an error from my then attorney. My lawyer explained to the IO that I entered on a B2 Visa. IO asked for proof and I showed him my original I-94 to satisfy that requirement and this was the only document he asked for. (Entry type would not have mattered since I was grandfathered into the 245i benefit which means EWI’s are also covered). We also had the Visa # stamp as well on my mother’s expired passport. 

 

IO then asked us to bring my father in because for some reason he thought my father was the sponsor (he is deceased). He only asked my mother her full name.

 

IO seemed fairly new so we had to clear some stuff up. My lawyer actually did all the educating part to the IO.

 

IO was wondering why I was using 245i if I had legal entry so my lawyer told him that I Overstayed my Visa and it was necessary for me to adjust under 245i if I wanted to do the AOS. 

 

IO asked my full name, current address and DOB. We had to correct the my birth year on I-485 because it was a typographical error from USCIS. IO asked random few questions that were YES/NO and I got them all correct. He then asked for updated I-693 which I submitted to him. He then went off to check off the pages and did work on his computer. 

 

He gave me the standard white sheet which stated:

 

‘Your Case is being held for review.’ IO said this was the normal process for everyone to run background checks. I think he had to get final approval from his supervisor. 

 

My lawyer who has 20 years of experience partially congratulated my mother and I and thought interview went well and was confident. Next morning, I woke up to ‘New Card is being produced’ which should be the 10 years and I should be eligible for Citizenship in 4 years and 9 months.

USCIS account notification shows that my PR Card was mailed out on 2/28/19 and there is no tracking # listed. The mail should go to me and not my lawyer right? EAD went to my lawyer.

 

When will I get it?

My lawyer’s office received my PR card today. 

 

10 years validity.

 

Eligible for U.S Citizenship in 4 years 9 months.

Did anyone had to do a I-90 based on DHS error?
