Hello guys, congratulations on all the approvals over the weekend!!! The rusty engine of USCIS machine is finally moving little by little. I am so happy to see people finally getting their approvals after a year of waiting.

Just a quick update, I just received a notification from the website saying that The Card was Mailed to me today. Took them a week to print it

Huh, Well I didnt really think they did anyway. It was a long time for them to respond to Nat. So I didnt think they could move that fast. Did you receive the card yet? I was thinking about having my husband frame his when it comes. lol

No, didn't receive it yet, my status still says Welcome notice was mailed. So I assume they haven't mailed the card yet

So I have just received an update from Ombudsman regarding my inquiry. Overall it took about 2 weeks for them to respond. And apparently Ombudsman has nothing to do with my approval

Dear Sir/Madam,

The Ombudsman’s Office has determined that USCIS recently issued a decision regarding the application or petition referenced in your request for assistance. Your I-485 was approved 3-20-2015. If you do not receive the decision notice within 15 days, please contact USCIS at 1-800-375-5283.

Since USCIS has issued a decision, our office will be closing this inquiry.

Thank you for giving the Ombudsman’s Office the opportunity to assist you.

Sincerely,

I got the same status for my EAD renewal today, its been terminated. Also, i got my welcome notice yesterday in the mail, but my status online didn't change at all, its still "card was ordered to be produced". Hope all of the remaining March filers will get their GCs soon.

Well looks like our cards hasn't been mailed out yet. Btw we have so many similar dates: got married on 2/14, approved 3/20, case terminated 3/25

This kinda proves the point that USCIS works on cases in packs

Hey guys, so here is an answer to another mystery we have been trying to solve, it's regarding the EAD renewal. I had my GC approved last week and today I received an updated regarding my EAD renewal application:

Case Terminated Benefit Received By Other Means

On March 25, 2015, we terminated your Form I-765, Application for Employment Authorization , Receipt Number MSC*********, because the applicant or petitioner received a status or benefit through other means. We will send you a termination notice. If you move, go to www.uscis.gov/addresschange to give us your new mailing address.

Received the welcome notice on Saturday so should get the card any day now I would think

Cool, I hope so too

I am curious if they are actually going to send me a new EAD now after the GC approval. I will let you know guys if they do

YEEEEESSS Congratulations Gator! That's one approval today, I'm hoping I get my GC in the mail maybe today, or tomorrow

Did you receive your Welcome notice yet?

Did you guys celebrate and paint the town red (or green)?

Oh boy, that was a big celebration also considering the fact that we did everything on our own, using this forum and saved a couple of thousand $$$ on lawyers. Hubby already booked a trip to DR to celebrate

But seriously, that was such a relief for all of us, I really hope you are the next one, nlhernan, you are right on the schedule here!!!

Good morning, guys, I feel that all March fillers will be approved this week, it's about time USCIS

Поздравляю!!!! Wow it's about time!!....Time to crack the bottle and say "Урa!!!"

Do me a favor, stay angry, we need to help fix this mess...

Spasibo bolshoe, we are definitely getting a drink after work tonight with hubby...As the say, a stormy weather can sometimes be an omen for a success

I can't believe it's snowing so hard today on the FIRST day of spring... You see, I have another reason to be angry today

Someone else in the Immigration Timelines got approved today. AOS NOA is 03/18/2014, and NPIW is 06/27/2014. Not sure if Ombudsman had anything to do with it.

That's me lol I just rushed to update my timeline sorry for the confusion

Congrats again, but don't be leaving this thread, we NEED you here!!!

I need a drink, but can't have one at this time in the morning. I am shocked, OMBUDSMAN IS THE WAY TO GO!! So bloody happy for everyone!!!

Thank you, Shell. This forum really helped me to go through and not to go worried sick about waiting for so long. I am not leaving it at least not until you guys receive you Green cards

And yes, I did contact ombudsman too. This worked, seriously!!! Thank you, Natonstan for breaking the ice

OMG OMG OMG Guysssssss FINALLLYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

New Card Is Being Produced - Is my new status on USCIS website!!!!!!!! Happy dance woop woop :joy:

On March 20, 2015, we ordered your new card for Receipt Number ...

the wait was just 1 year and 2 days....ahhh close to nothing (sarcasm lol)

Just received a text msg "New Card is being produced!" I guess I won't have to wait for my wife's EAD/AP biometrics appointment letter. Today is a good day! I feel like doing the happy dance at my desk at work. I can't wait to tell the wife that she should be receiving the green card soon.

Congrats!!!!!!!!!!!! The wait is over, go celebrate

Update on my husband's case... RFE was mailed.

My guess is we need a new medical. Ugh... not what I was hoping for when I saw an email from USCIS.

Oh wow, they must be kidding. You guys have been waiting for a year and 2 weeks already, and now they ask for new medical? this is just insane!!!

well, at least you know that after you send it out, you'll get a GC in a few weeks

I went to do my biometrics for my EAD renewal on Monday March 16 and I checked my status yesterday in the evening and renewal EAD is in Car d Production and SURPRISINGLY my GC too!!! So am now expecting my renewed EAD and GC though GC is all I need now.

Its been 1year 6days to my GC..my NOA for AOS was March 12, 2014

CONGRATULATIONS!!!! Finally the wait is over for you!!! My NOA is just a few days later that your NOA so I am anxiously waiting now and pleased that more March fillers are getting approved.

Have you ever filled any SR?

New March approval today yayyyyyy

NOA March 12 2014

I guess my attorney was wrong again...'magine that.

It just seems inconceivable that you can go directly to a 10 yr GC without an interview...just thinking out loud...

Don't blame your attorney just yet, nobody knows what's in the mind of people working in USCIS, plus mistakes can also happen. Ohh a 10 year old GC would be such a good present right now.

Btw, a friend of mine also arrived on K1 visa, received NPIW letter but then her Green card arrived a week after she got the letter. No reasonable explanation for that, husband not in the military. This proves your point, nlhernan, that there is one big mess in USCIS and it's so unfair

I just received another responses which is "Useless Information" from my local office. I am not so sure when I will escape from jail (USCIS).

I feel you, I've received a bunch of those already. What's your local office?

I've tried requesting an interview through tier 1&2

Both told me I wasn't able to do that

That if we recieved I letter stating our case was a potential interview waiver then we didn't need one

Of course not, what we were thinking? hahahha :devil:

It's funny to think how almost happy I was when I got this NPIW letter in June, now it's like "get me outta here, please, Uncle USCIS"

Thats what I am wondering, has anyone actually tried? Ive asked them to let us know if they get one, hopefully they will. Very curious, can you imagine it if we were able to do this all along? Not seen anyone else writing about it though.

Hmm then they will have to transfer our cases from current local office to the office near our house, which can take time as well; e.g I will either have to go to Lawrence, MA where my case is or wait till it arrives to NYC.

Who can we ask about this? Tier1?

oh wow, that sucks, these guys got a RFE and have been waiting a year and 1 month. Now I am curious, is there any way to request an interview?

I had raise an SR a week before my AOS anniversary and i got an email from USCIS, Santa Ana, CA giving the standard reply

"Your petition/application is still pending consideration. We regret that we are not able to give you a timeframe for when we will complete the review of your petition/application."

Ok, so at least your case is in the local office. An infopass appointment may be a good option too.

So after I had my Biometrics done on March 5, I received another Biometrics appointment last Friday dated March 3. Called them today, they told me that USCIS has been experiencing some technical issues e.g service requests out of nowhere, repeated biometrics appointment letters etc, etc. The officer just said: ignore them, it has nothing to do with your case.
