Kaaha

I just got my GC. The mailman has been very generous today I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you guys so you don't get to wait for too long

Hi guys, I just got my GC. It was so fast! I expected to wait around 2-3 weeks but it took only a few days. Keeping my fingers crossed for you, it's coming for all of us.

I just got a letter that my GC has been approved and I will receive it within 3 weeks. I guess I am a real person now. It should give you some hope, it's close. I think that the "6 months letter" was just for their protection becuase they had delays. Keeping my fingers crossed for you guys!

Congratulations! That gives me some hope!

I came back from Poland yesterday. My re-entry was horrible! The line to the CBP was soo long but that's nothing. Of course they directed me to secondary control. The room was full of people but I figured that they just need to double check me becuase I only have the AP not a GC. However after one gentleman told me that he has been there for 3 hours I got worried. Mu husband was supposed to come pick me up and there was no reception or a pay phone in that room. I understand that they have to do their job but don't treat me with disrespect! The officers yelled "Put your luggage by the wall and sit down!" I didn't want to leave my bags unnatended so I kept standing next to it and one of the officers approached me and said "What part of 'sit down' you don't understand?" ... They even had a citizen there, an Army veteran who came back from a business trip. Go figure... Well, eventually they let me out after 3 hours, frustrated and exhausted But it feels good to be home with my husband and pur puppy

I applied for the SSN in 2011 when I was in the Us for the first time, now I just wanted to change the name on it and its status since I got my EAD. I filed the application and the lady told me that it would take 6-8 weeks to print a new card!! I called them after 10 weeks and it turned out that my application was never put in the system. I went to the SSA office to file for it AGAIN. The guy was really nice but he told me that the system rejects my EAD probably because I am still in the process of AOS and he recommended coming back with the GC, he just gave me a confirmation that I do have a SSN ( I needed it at the DMV). So yea, it's been a bumpy road for me.

I'm in Denmark now, waiting for my flight to DC. The lady at the airport in Poland asked me "Do you have eeeee a green card? Or.... Something?" She scared me a little bit that she didn't know about AP but well... It's Poland

Good luck with driving I've been driving for 5 years no and they wanted to give me a learner's permit too because they didn't have a Polish translator at the DMV to confirm my Polish license. So I got an international one when I was in Poland. Now they will have it in 7 languages! I hope they'll be able to pick one

FREE?????

It's free if you apply for it with your I-485 form, otherwise you have to pay.

And I'm joining the club: filed March 1, got the letter August 2

One of my friends (VA) got her GC after ~7 month without any letters or interview, another couple (TX) had an interview but she got her GC after 3 months from filing!

Thank you for the links, I will go through it later tonight.

I am visiting my family now in Poland. I hope I will mot have any problems with re-entering on my AP. All this process is so stressful! A friend of mine travelled to Germany and she had no problems at the POE. But I am just so unlucky I don't even have my driving license yet! I've been to the DMV three times and every time they make something up. Love Virginia!! Haha Instead of a SSN card a have a printout from their system confirming that I have a SS numer... Please have mercy... But I'll get there, sooner or later

I read somewhere that people with receipt numbers starting with MSC have problems witch checking their case status. Does yours start with MSC too?

I have an update from USCIS: After 6 months of waiting, they sent me a letter telling me that I got picked as a potential Interview Waiver case, and that due to "workload reasons not related to my case" adjudication of my case is delayed by approx. another 6 months. I will be waiting a whole year for my Green Card, after waiting 9 months for my k1 visa. Isn't it hilarious

Hi everyone! I am back on visajourney I am exactly in the same situation as you HK12: 9 months for my K1 visa any I got the same update on August 2. I don't know what's going on. I can't even check the status of my case because it says that it cannot be found. I called the USCIS but they say my case is ok, pending.. I just want it to be over, all this Immigration mess... Oh and I love your avatar!

Thanks Kaaha... and I see an arrival on the 17th, and you'll be together at Christmas ... that's so great !!

Yes. I am going to Warsaw (airport) tomorrow and will spend the night there. I'm flying on Monday. But as Tigerflower said, it;s so hard to express happines here when you guys are hurt Believe me or not, but I think about you every day, hoping that it's gonna be over soon.

Reading your posts breaks my heart. My thoughts are with you Andie and res4688. I hope things get resolved soon!

Congrats nargie!

K-1s should have baggage allowance of 50kg (100lbs) and 2 free bags!

They have great bread in Wegmans But I guess Wegmans in not found everywhere right? only North-East like VA, MD, MA, JY, NY, PA

I hope everything goes well, res4688. And you will finally get some news.

To convert temperatures from Celsius to Fahrenheit I just double it and add 30 (or Fahrenheit to Celsius, take off 30 and divide by 2). Not sure if it's exact but pretty close.

Thank you That's easier than looking for my phone and converting it hhaha

Come on VSC! Enough already -- praying for approvals for Andie, Rong&David and Res4688.

Ditto!

The worst thing for me is Celsius-Fahrenheit. I'm never gonna learn it! And kitchen measurements are a nightmare as well! I guess I'll have to rewrite my Christmas recipes before I go

Just came back from Warsaw.... it's over! Finally!

Thank you so much Tigerflower and Vroum7.

It's on Thursday The big day

Guys a question... what did you put in ds-156 "1. how long do you intend to stay in the us? 2. what is the purpose of your trip?"

I'm having problems with scheduling my interview online. It asks me for DS-160 confirmation number which we didn't have to file. I called the embassy and the woman basically told me I am stupid cause no one has had problems with that so far... I chose K-1 option and it does ask for DS-160... I'm literally scared of calling again

Well we picked up the visa yesterday, will be flying out Friday early morning ... POE will be in Fort Lauderdale Florida ... Congrats to those who got approved and Hold on to those still waiting...

Such great news! I'm happy for you!

It's hard with "this" outside the window haha

Perfect! Congratulations!

I found out that maybe I won't have to wait for packet 4. They got my packed 3 on Friday and I'll try calling them tomorrow. I already had my medical so I would have to pay the fee and try to schedule an interview. But I am trying to stay realistic.

hhehe I just noticed the picture on the top of VJ website.. the road to a visa really looks like that

Congratulations!
