Nope, I am still here waiting.

Where is your local office?

Am I the only one here still waiting for the GC?, it's been 14months already, got the potential interview waiver letter dated 8/29/2013, did service resquest and still no news. Any advice what's the best thing to do asides waiting? ) :

Still waiting ....

Same here. Did you received the "potential interview waiver case" lettter?

Guess I should get ready for the letter then.

By the way, was the letter registered in any way on your online case status?

No, mine is still on Acceptance. When did u file your AOS?

Yup, I'm aware, that's why I'm so mad/sad! I submitted one service request that wasn't responded to within 45 days, so i had to submit another one and this letter arrived a few days later. It states that it serves as a response to any enquiries that have been made into the case. My congressman's office is also looking into but I assume they will now just come back and say that USCIS sent me this letter and that's my update... we'll see. As far as i know my case is still at the NBC (that's what it says when I log in to case status updates).Totally out of line that my local office is handling applications submitted 3 months after mine.

We have the same field office, I filed mine on January 2013 and they sent me a Potential Interview Waiver Case letter last week. Seems like our application stays at the NBC office for a little while, unlucky us ( :

Got mine today too. I guess another months of waiting......

green card in hand surprised the postal dog ( i being nice ) did not bring to door as this is a very important card from uscis

Congrats! That was quick..

Yay, they've updated. As of June 30th, they are processing January 11th. We're getting close!

Seems it takes them a month per month, so they should already be processing Feb. 20ish by now. Oh well, at least they made it to 2013!

Finally! We almost there.. Let me know if they send you an interview appointment.

got txt and email this morning at 8am that reads .... maybe they are reading vj and starting to wake up?

On August 19, 2013, we mailed you a notice that we had registered this customer's new permanent resident status. Please follow any instructions on the notice. Your new permanent resident card should be mailed within 60 days

Congrats! So y'all approved without interview. That's great!

Fingers crossed, PinayCajun, my NOA1 is about 3 weeks after yours and we have the same processing office.

It says online that the New Orleans office are now processing December 2012 filers for I-485. So let's just hope that they will start processing January 2013 filers sooner or next month.

Received notice yesterday that husband's card is in production! Finally

Congrats!!! Did you went on an interview?

I'm still waiting on mine, hopefully next month I'll receive some good news..

Congrats tho the newly approved filers!

Who else is here still on acceptance stage? Raise your hand?! ?

Because the days between the I-94 expiration and the acceptance of the AOS package are overstay, illegal days. If you have 180 or more and you leave the country you will be banned and unable to return. It says this right on the AP approval letters. If you adjust in country, those days will be forgiven once you become a GC holder. If you just have a few overstay days, you can use AP, but the OP has years of overstay days.

I know it sounds bad to say that those days are illegal, but I don't mean anything nasty by it. USCIS understands that it may take more than 90 days to get the AOS sent out, but the fact is that a K-1 visa holder is only given 90 legal days at POE. The marriage, by itself, does not protect your status or make your stay legal. Only the AOS makes your stay legal. So the people in this situation aren't going to be deported or anything, but they can only travel internationally once their GC is approved.

That's good to know! I guess i may not be able to use my AP bcoz I'm one of those late filers ( :

Maybe that's one of the reason I didn't received a combo card , they sent me a document letter on my AP approval and EAD card not valid for reentry . But why they still approved my AP and they knew already that I can't use it?

Thank you for the very helpful info Harpa!

And you can't use AP, so there is no point in applying for it. But besides that, nothing special. Good luck.

@Harpa: Why AP cannot be use when filing AOS late?

Approved.

Not asked for EAD. Yay!

Wow! Congrats!!!

My case still in acceptance stage, we probably stuck at the NBC for a little while :whistle:

My local office is processing September also,..

Well there you go..

or you'll get a letter...

*Hey PinayCajun, I just noticed you're in Louisiana. My husbands works there*

Cool. We have big rivers here, I'm pretty sure he been to most of the places here. ( :

Mine was different I applied EAD and AP together and I didn't get a combo card. They sent me a AP document letter that I can use to reenter USA .

My EAD card (combo EAD and AP) came yesterday. USPS made me nervous though, the tracking status was delivered but it was nowhere to be seen, thankfully the delivery guy pulled up a couple of hours later.

Now just to wait for my interview on the 2nd of May, and that's the last hoop to jump through, immigration wise anyway.

Now to get my SSN and drivers license sorted out. Such a relief that things are moving along.

Congrats to the combo card and good luck on your interview!

Approved!!! More later. Off to celebrate now

Yay! Congrats!!!

GC in hand! :dance: :dance:

Congrats!!! I'm glad your interview went well.

Hi guys, just discovered the group.

Nice job!

I'm a january 2013 AOS filer too. it has been 7 weeks since I had my biometrics, but heard nothing about it, my case number is not even available in USCIS website since I received my NOA1. I wonder if someone is in the same situation?

Welcome to the club! :)

WOW! Most of January filers got that green!!!

Congrats guys!

I hope I can get an interview too. My case still on acceptance phase.

did you get answer about ap? sveta got a combo card

I got my EAD card already not the Combo Card. But the AP was approved Monday and they produced my document letter. My case is different from y'all

I was told that you will not always get a combo card, but your AP will be a letter.

Thanx for the this info, It's just weird coz never heard like this situation .
