M&J12

Just wanted to say we got a surprise yesterday - checked the mail and there was a letter saying the ROC was approved and we should expect the new GC in the next 30 days! Woohoo! I wasn't expecting anything for at least a few more months, and really wasn't sure what was going to happen since we still haven't actually moved to the USA (though we are working towards it - have bank accounts/credit cards there, get mail at my parents' house, and hope to move sometime next Spring), so I was very relieved that it was approved!

Hi,

Are you or your spouse in the military? If I gather correctly, you filed at Vermont Service Center in JUNE 2012 for the RoC, and already approved so fast. Did your case get expedited for some reason?

Thanks

ROC is a straightforward process - plenty of resources on this site to do it yourself.

Hiring a lawyer is a 100% waste of money

They're too busy helping and approving the illegals, at our expense, thanks to Obama. Nov 6 can't come soon enough.

Does anyone know if the Vermont center is working on the january files? The USCIS website states that they are working on Nov 28 as of Sept 13. It has been more than 8 months for me and as far as I have seen a lot of people are in the same position. It is very frusturating

Hi MLM,

Please let us know how long before your conditional green card expired had you filed the i-751?

Thanks

My husband GC came today, updating....

Good luck to ALL!!!

Quote from CBS News: "The Homeland Security Department is notifying a small group of people this week that they have been approved to stay in the country for two years as part of President Obama's Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program. The first approvals come just three weeks after U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services started accepting applications for the program".

So illegals get approved in just three weeks while we LEGAL folks filing at the VSC wait for...guess how long?!?....9 months on average.

I read somewhere else that USCIS has not hired any additional workers to process all these deferred action applications, and VSC and CSC are servicing these applications as well.

And what's worse is USCIS expects a BIG spike in applications from illegals, once word gets out that approvals are being granted. And this in turn will cause further processing delays for us. Has anyone noticed how slow VSC has been in approving December i-751 filers in the last few weeks?

I guess we RoC folks are fortunate to at least already be with our spouses, I can only imagine how frustrating these delays must be to those applying for K1 fiancee visas or those in the AOS stage, like my sister, for example, who has never been out of status, not even for a day, and has been waiting for 77 days and counting for her EAD, while these illegals start getting their EAD approvals in three weeks!!
