Thanks OP! Just to confirm, were you able to get back in without any issues? Hope you had a good trip to France!

Hi yes! I just came back yesterday. No questions about this at the Paris airport, and a very quick screening at port of entry, same as my American husband. It's pretty crazy actually, they just took my picture, found my file and let me go through. I haven't travelled for awhile and was surprised at how quick and seamless it became. Not even a question about how much wine I brought

 @potatowavesI'm now in the same situation. Can you update on what happened? Were you able to travel successfully with the old green card?

Hi! 

OP here. I am currently in France so I haven't tried to come back in the US yet (going home next weekend). So I don't have an update as of yet. I sent my withdrawal request a while back, and recently received a RFE because I forgot to sign it 🤦. I sent a signed copy just before leaving. I am hopeful it will be fine, though I meant to travel with a copy of my withdrawal request and forgot it. Fingers crossed but I can't imagine what would be the issue given that they can ID me with it.

they dont cancel old green card until they print the new one which can be months away 

Oh perfect then, that is what I need to hear

Not the best advice though. Remember than an LPR not carrying their GC is a misdemeanor that carries a fine and jail time. 

Wow ok, I did not even know that. I stopped carrying it to avoid losing it as soon as I got my state ID. Joke's on me.

Write USCIS to cancel your I-90.  Include a copy of the green card.  
 

Also buy a safe, bolt to a piece of heavy furniture and put your green card inside it.  

Haha I should do that, although it could be heavy on the plane. 

Alright, so it is safe to assume my GC would still be valid to travel. I will do that. Thank you.

Hi there

I could not find my green card in July of last year so I filed an I-90 to replace it. I just found it (yay), but I don't know what to do. I am due to travel in July of this year. When I applied the website said my application would take 4 months but now processing time is 7 to 14 months. I cannot take the chance to wait for it to arrive in the mail as it could very well be too late. I quickly chatted with a representative who said that I could withdraw my application and use my GC since I have it. But I am terrified of removing my application and finding out that my card won"t allow me to travel or come back. 

Has anyone been in this situation?

Thank you in advance for any advice on the matter... I don't know how I could have been so careless

I just received an update today saying that they sent me a Request for Evidence. Oh well. Maybe I can send the baby.

If it is useful, my case had been moved to Nebraska on April 4.

I received the same notice as Maya2015. It says that USCIS has completed a preliminary review of my case and that as part of standard processing it is transferred to the Nebraska service center. Apparently this center doesn't do ROCs so checking the processing times did not help.

Try at midnight or very early in the morning. That's how I got my appointment. Good luck!

Thank you! Will do! Here I thought it would update in the morning ;-)

Thank you!

I wished I had been told that by the USCIS!

I just checked and apparently they give appointments for the next 14 days only... None available today.  Do they typically offer appointments every day? I am in Salt Lake City.

I will try again tomorrow. 

I am glad I checked here and as always I am grateful for this forum

Hi Fellow February 2017 CSC petitioners,

I did not think I would be back here but USCIS seems to take a long time to process my application so here I am.

Hey all,

I have been following this thread since me and my fiancé have applied for a fiancé visa (California Service Center). We received our NOA1 on may, 08th, and apart from the attribution of the alien number on may 13th, our case hasn't moved. I see on this topic that lots of people got approved already (congrats really, it's a big thing). On VJ it is said that application filed in July are currently being processed. Anyone has any idea as to why some applications take much more time? Any may filers in our case?

Ironically, today I looked at the timeline data on VJ which says this : Based on timeline data, your I129f may be adjudicated between June 19, 2013 and July 6, 2013*.

We called USCIS but they just told us to wait... Anyway, we are lucky to be able to see each other a lot, so it's alright but if anyone has any insight I would be interested.

Thanks.
