Yes! After checking the status of my case online about four times a day since my biometrics appointment, I came home today to find an approval letter in the mail. At first I thought it was an RFE since the status was "received petition to remove...." when I left work (and still is), but it's the real deal! :dance:

Anyone else had this happen? Received approval letter while case still pending online that is...

One more year and then we'll go again! :thumbs:

I had that happen with my advance parole a couple of years back, i received the advance parole document and still to this day it says case is pending!

Oooops - I spoke too soon. Figured I'd check the status online just after typing this and guess what?!?

Current Status: Card production ordered.

On October 29, 2007, we ordered production of your new card.

However, the status still says: PETITION TO REMOVE CONDITIONS OF PERMANENT RESIDENT STATUS RECEIVED, but I was "touched" today.

No dancing 'til the card's actually in my hand, though...

I was just lucky to be transferred to CSC. Had I applied when my 90-day window first opened, I probably would have been stuck at NSC. One sunny Friday afternoon I realized that fees were going up the next day, so I got all my paperwork together (that I could find...) and sent the petition in the next day. Almost surprised that I didn't screw anything up... :blink:

Thanks! Good luck to you and everyone else still waiting! :thumbs:

Nah. From your timeline, your 90-day window seems to have opened around July 12, so NSC still would have transferred you to CSC because they started the transfers about July 1.

The people I feel really bad for are those like Mr.Bigdog (Reinhard), who filed promptly when his 90-day window opened in early June -- had he waited just about three weeks, he would have been one of the first to be transferred to CSC and would have long since been approved by now . . . .

Meh
