Received green card today too.

Got the same email today.

At 7:01 pm CST today I received a text message and email from USCIS.

On February 24, 2015, we ordered your new card for Receipt Number EACXXXXXXXXXX, and will mail it to the address you gave us. If you move, go to www.uscis.gov/addresschange to give us your new mailing address.

Now to prepare for the naturalization process.

I got the following email

Thank you for your inquiry. This e-mail address is intended only as a follow-up to previously submitted inquiries to the National Customer Service Center (NCSC). Please understand that all case related inquiries must be addressed to the NCSC first by calling 1-800-375-5283 or via TTY at 1-800-767-1833. A customer service representative should be able to assist you when you call the above toll-free number.

If representatives are unable to provide information regarding your case, they will create a service request for the appropriate USCIS office that has jurisdiction over your case to answer your questions and concerns. These referrals will be identified by Referral IDs assigned from the NCSC.

Separately, the status of your case may be obtained online at www.uscis.gov

If you do not have an application or petition filed with USCIS and need general immigration and citizenship information, you may visit www.uscis.gov.

Thanks,

This is the email I received

Your Case Status: Initial Review

On December 1, 2014, we transferred your Form CRI89, PETITION TO REMOVE CONDITIONS OF PERMANENT RESIDENT STATUS RECEIVED, Receipt Number EAC14XXXXXXXX, to another USCIS office. That office now has jurisdiction over your case. We sent you a notice that explains why we moved your case. Please follow the instructions in the notice. If you do not receive your notice by December 31, 2014, please go to www.uscis.gov/e-request to request a copy of the notice. If you move, go to www.uscis.gov/addresschange to give us your new mailing address.

During this step, USCIS initiates the background checks of the applicant/petitioner and identifies issues that may need to be addressed either during an interview or by asking the applicant/petitioner to submit additional information or documentation. USCIS reviews the applicant's/petitioner's criminal history, determines if there are national security concerns that need to be addressed, and reviews the application/petition for fraud indicators. If you have filed an I-485, I-589, I-751, N-400, I-90, I-821, I-131 or I-765, you can expect to receive an appointment notice to appear at an Application Support Center to have your fingerprints and/or photographs taken. The timing of your appointment is determined by the number of applicants ahead of you that also need a biometric appointment. We try to schedule biometric appointments as quickly as possible and in most cases you will receive your appointment notice within 30 days of submitting your application. We will send your appointment notice approximately 14 days ahead of your scheduled appointment. It is important that you keep this appointment. If absolutely necessary, you can request that your appointment be rescheduled however, please be aware that rescheduling may delay the processing of your application. Please follow the instructions on your appointment notice if you need to reschedule. Occasionally, you may receive an appointment notice to appear at an Application Support Center to have your fingerprints taken when you have filed a form other than those listed above. In these situations, you may receive your appointment notice more than 30 days after submitting your application or petition.

Current processing times can be found on the USCIS website at under Check Processing Times.

I received an email from USCIS. They transferred my case on December 1st to another USCIS office. I suspect that it was transferred to CSC. Now wait until CSC can get things done. We were anticipating an approval before our Christmas vacation out of the country.

From the March thread Vermont Service Center (29 applicants, 15 approved - 52%). It looks like they are taking a little longer then 6 months to approve applications. It appears that VSC is processing 3 times more applications then CSC. Maybe they should send some to CSC for processing.

Sent our I-751 today via Express mail to Vermont Service Center.

Sent our I-751 today via Express mail.

You will need to wait for the letter from Juarez before making an appointment. I have not spoken to anyone who needed to provide a police certificate in CDJ. We had the certificate, but was never asked for it. I have helped others file !-130 via DCF. They were not asked for a police certificate.

The fees will be paid by the interviewee once inside the consulate. I recommend paying in USD because they give a poor exchange rate for pesos.

We are about to file I-751 for my wife. I bought my house 15 years before we met, so there is no lease or utilities in both of our names. We do have 1 joint bank account. I have home phone bills showing her calls to Mexico to talk to family. I have life and health insurance policies showing coverage on both of us. Our drivers license show the same address. We both have cars, but not joint ownership showing same address. Auto Insurance cards showing both vehicles and both of us as drivers. We have 2012 and 2013 Tax transcripts showing that we filed joint tax returns with W2s showing same address. Photos and airline tickets of our trip to Cancun with my son. Pictures of us together from various friends Facebook pages. Notarized statements from my son and 5 other friends about our relationship. Contract in both of our names for home improvements to my house. Is there anything more that I need to include?

A police check is not required. You will bring all required documents to the interview. Make sure you make copies of everything including the DS-260 confirmation page. I would recommend doing the medical 2 days before the interview. The ASC appointment will need to be done at least a day before the medical. Depending on where you live, you may be able to do the ASC at your local embassy.

When you file your I-130 with Mexico City you are basically just proving the identities of the US citizen and the Mexican citizen. You are also proving you are legally married and have a real relationship. The financial stuff is presented at the interview. I can give you a list of everything you need to file the I-130 and a list for the interview.

They will contact you by mail. You will be able to choose your interview date.

Once CDJ reviews your case they will contact you to make an interview appointment. You will bring all the necessary documents to the appointment. They will approve or deny the visa during the interview. I can give you more info if you would like.

We were not required to have our translation completed by a certified translator. We did our own translation. We recreated the documents in English, but without the art work.

All immunizations listed on the website are required. It is up to the doctor doing the physical to accept the vaccinations you already have had. In order for the doctor to consider your shots, you will need documentation from the clinic that gave the shots. The doctor will either accept them or reject them. The doctor will always lean towards giving them there, so you will need plenty of documentation as to where, when, and who gave which immunizations.

You will receive a letter from them stating the I-130 is approved. It will be your NOA1. You will receive a letter from CDJ stating everything is approved and to schedule your interview. That will be your NOA2. Congratulations on your progress so far.

You must be a legal resident of Mexico before you can qualify to file DCF. If you are, I can give you some help.

You will receive a letter from CDJ when they have processed everything and are ready for you to schedule your appointment. The letter will have a case number on it.

The DCF process would be the best way if you both plan on living in the US for a minimum of 3 years. Your husband will receive a greencard and since he is married to you, he will be eligible to take the citizenship test once he has been in the US for 3 years.
