oh I see thanks

Goodluck to your journey but you should know him better first before its too late...

God Bless

thanks for all the reply appreciated

i went this morning and applied for SSN the lady just gave me a paper served as receipt stating that i will have the card in 2weeks....

I thought I will have SSN right away but 2 weeks for the card???

Question:

1.What document i have to bring to apply for SSN??

2.how many days to receive the SS card in the mail???

3.How long to wait in the line???

4.Can I use the approval notice for my I-485 as proof that I'm a legal permanent resident???

Im so sorry youre going through this! Please have faith that everything will be ok, soon youre going to have that green card in your hands in Gods name!

Thanks just sometimes my faith is shaken up about this whole process,maybe I expect too much after that interview

thanks again and I know God will make a way....God Bless your heart

I really hope you hear something soon. will be praying for you....

Thanks Isah..looking for job now I hope I can get one

Goodluck and praying for your upcoming interview...

are you excited??

You can go to any office. You need information and any IO can get info on your case so if there's an office close by, I would suggest going.

I will try to do that if there's still no available at Santa Ana within 30 days...cant hired lawyer anymore at this time were broke

Thanks newbie for always replying to my post

Your case is not that serious so please don't waste any money on a lawyer just yet. Like I said keep calling USCIS. I know that they make a note everytime we called but at least that will force them to do or tell you something with the case. You can also do an infopass at another office, not just the one you had your interview at...

Is that true I can do info pass at another office??? coz i been trying to make info in Santa Ana no appointment available...

Just trying to be more patient and I'll just use my EAD to appky for SSN and hopefully get a job soon..

Been depressed and frustrated these past few days as I wanna visit my family back home

Try to have your lawyer do his job as well that's why you hired him to work on your case. And yeah call the USCIS every now & then

My lawyer said If he have to follow up the case i have to make another payment coz i just hired him to be with us on the day of interview and thats it...My thoughts is thats why I hired him so anything happened after interview he can follow up..but I guess Im wrong

I don't know if I can still afford to hire him again...

Did u make an infopass or try calling USCIS to see what's up? I mean you have nothing to hold on to right now. No RFEs nothing. I would call and bug them everyday till they tell me something at least...

I'm trying to make info pass but there's no available yet..the agent last time said call them back on Oct 9 if I didn't hear anything....

They usually don't.

This is usually what happens when they need to do additional checking to be able to confirm you. The I-130 (not I-30) was approved because that has nothing to do with the GC itself, it just means the petitioner is approved for sponsoring you.

The I-485 will remain in testing and review until they are done reviewing your case. The interview isn't necessarily the last step. Always keep that in mind.

yeah it just weird that he handed me that paper with the date of Sept 10 approval for adjustment of status....

..if he need more docs/evidence at least he should've send me RFE.. talked to the lawyer said dont worry coz IO said were approved and maybe my name check is not done yet and wait 2mos or make info pass...well, whatever cant do anything right now but back to waiting game.

sometimes I wish IO didn't give us approval on the spot and the piece of paper is useless if he just hang me like this without knowing the reason

Hello all,

I haven,t been here for the longest time. Kids started school, I started to work. Been so busy. Hope everyone is well.

I had my interview it was fast, no question whatsoever about my marriage, only question why did I leave the country 7 years ago and abandoned my green card!?!

Anyway she approuved my marriage, no doubt about that but said that they just had a training and that they are not suppose to give a green card a second time. So she went to check with her supervisor, made me wait for 5 long minutes and then said she will approuved the marriage but the rest was out of her hand. Up to her she would give it to me again but as they have some discretion about that she needs to have a full approval on top of her. But she said it should be fine but she coudn't risk to tell me it was ok 100%. What to think about that?

Online status say I 130 approuved but I 485 testing and interview..........

Did the IO handed you any paper?? my I-485 still in testing and review however I-30 is approved..

hope your some good news soon

sorry about hijacking OP's thread..but thanks for this

just keep checking online or check your mailbox everyday...

I had interview last Sept 10 approved on the spot but still no GC yet and no card production online

your passport stamp should have been sufficient enough....

If they try to say they need your I_94 (in which they shouldn't), you can FOIA your records

and those records show what day you came in / POE / I-94 # etc... The only thing is it takes

about 3-6 months to get it.

Let me know how it goes, as I am preparing my packet. I just hope that they accept my FOIA records

as proof of entry and am going to try and apply for a replacement using the FOIA info too.

IO didn't ask for more docs to submit and don't say anything about my lost i-94 he just asked me if I didn't file for replacement and I said No and he just checked on the system and legible passport stamp from POE...

all i got is welcome letter from IO and approval notice for I-30...so i don't know why its taking long to order my GC...

Goodluck to you....

What a coincidence because it been mine for a week now.... Any news yet on your I-485?

Not yet I called today and said its GC hasn't been order yet and said too early to worry advised to call them back after a month ..so I guess it have something to do with my lost i-94 i think....

so i guess I have to call them back on Oct 10...

As long as you have faith and belive in God. he will work everything out in your favor....Im very sorry about your Dad. "You will never know your own strength until being strong is your only option". Be strong for your brother and mother.

God bless

thats my facebook stat today Newbie..nice one

have you heard of the most popular dance move now its called Gangnam style

I am soo addicted to the music video lol

Have faith in God coz HE is greater than your worries..God Bless your heart..everything will be fine with you In JESUS name

You already got the welcome letter... You haven't gotten any bad news so no worries... Be patient

I know I don't apply for SSN yet I thought I will get my GC in a week (SSN without restriction)...so I guess I'll apply with my EAD

and start to get a job...

You'll get yours soon! My interview was on 9/13 and I wasn't approved on spot. He said he was recommend my case for approval but it needed to be reviewed first. The next day there was an online update saying that they approved my I-130. On Sept 17 I got an update on I-485, also approved. On Sept 20 - card production, and today an update saying that USPS picked up my Green card and I should receive it in 7 days!

Hang in there!

But my interview is Sept 10 its been 11 days and no card production yet....if they need something at least let us know

this is sooo frustrating and depressing

Hang in there. Did you ask for a stamp by any chance?

No I didn't ask I should've ask the IO sigh

AlI got now is welcome letter and I-30 approval hard copy...

I am sooo depressed I thought I can relax after interview...

Just be patient! You know it's been approved already, so why are you still on pins and needles? You'll get it, just wait!

coz most of the people here got Card production online after interview and got their GC after 8-10 days....

just sad

For sure she got the card production update right??? for me its nothing called CIS said wait 30 days...

thanks

If you got the welcome letter it means that the "approval" button was pushed. It's possible the online update isn't working (which is common) and the GC will just arrive in your mailbox.

yeah but i don't get the welcome letter in the mail the IO handed me after he shook our hands and said congratulation..

and I-130 was updated online only I-485 is not....

I hope my GC is on the way even without card production...thanks to you

She received the welcome letter at the interview. Did they print it off the computer MsGore?

yes he printed it from his computer and made a copy for him...
