I find it incredible that there are still a few of us September 2016 ROC filers still waiting for their GCs.

Unwilling and unwitting victim here of USCIS' inefficiency and errors regarding ROC permanent GC processing.

My 10-year GC from ROC arrived while I was outside the USA. Thankfully, my I-551 GC stamp was valid until August 28 of 2018. I came back August 19. 

Nevertheless, I had to undergo secondary screening even though I showed the CBP immigration officer my valid I-551 stamp and photo evidence of my valid 10-year GC. I detest being taken to secondary right after CBP immigration counter because I know I'm an LPR.

USCIS prints an error on the 10-year GC yet I have to bear the uncertainty and delay caused by secondary inspection. Nice. Not.

I'm one of the 8500 or so people affected by the green card recall. I got the request to return letter from USCIS May 17 and mailed the defective GC on Friday, May 18.

Thank God I revisited this thread. I just realized I have the same problem others have. My permanent GC indicates I have been a resident since March 5, 2018, my ROC approval date, instead of September 16, 2014! 

What should I do now? This is stressing me out because I plan to travel again this May or June and I'm afraid of using this new but incorrect green card.

My 10-year green card arrived unexpectedly in the mail today via priority mail. It has the new design and I'm not happy with the way I look in the picture!

After getting a NOA that my ROC has been approved on March 5, I checked the status of my case on the UsCiS website and it says on April 2, Fingerprint Review was completed.

What exactly does  this mean???

My ROC was approved March 6. When should I expect the 10-year green card to arrive? I still don’t have it as of today, March 30.

I leave the US on March 15. I have the NOA approval letter for ROC but still no green card. That means I have to reenter the US on the I-551 stamp. I’m a bit nervous.

This is the approval I got from the USCIS website after I entered the WAC number for the ROC NOA letter.

My ROC just got approved today, March 6, 2018!! NOA is September 15, 2016. I leave the US on March 15. Will I receive the green card in time? How long does it take before the GC is delivered? Will I have trouble reentering the US with a valid I-551 stamp but with an approved GC that I didn’t receive in time?

Hi, 

 

No it will not invalidate your stamp. I asked this question to an officer when I was coming back home from Europe. You may get sent to secondary inspection depending on the office. Do not get nervous, all they do is check your case status. You will be in and out in a few minutes. Best of luck. 

 

Hello, WonderLA87,

I do hope you are right about that. Having gone through secondary inspection once, I can tell you the uncertainty was nerve-wracking. However, I wasn’t in and out in a few minutes. Lots of people ahead of me got sent to secondary for documents check (for cruise ship workers) while some others got grilled and interviewed by an immigration officer about their actual purpose because they have tourist visas and were determined to be spending too much time in the US while claiming to be running businesses back in the Philippines.

I was one of the last to be processed and I got asked where my spouse is, do we still live together, are we still married, why did I say I live in San Francisco while I answered Phoenix in response to the question ‘Where is your spouse now’ (I had to tell him it’s for work but we still lived together in SF), why wasn’t my spouse with me on this trip (busy at work while I had Christmas break from the university I work and study at). Those were the questions, pretty much.

I am traveling outside the US on March 15 and coming back March 25.

If my ROC gets approved while I’m outside the country, will that invalidate the I-551 stamp on my passport? The stamp is valid until August 2018. I am very worried it will complicate my reentry into the US. Please advise.

Hi All,

 

I just punched in that second WAC number just now that never works after everyone's advice and today it works!

It pinged from my local office after having been moved there today: 2/26/18 and shows up as an I-751, not the CRI-89 that the other WAC shows up as at CSC. 

NEWBRIGHTON..........09/25/16........09/27/16......10/22/16......--/--/--.....NO 11/1/17 Infopass exp 11/1/18

 

Interesting stuff.

Thanks, for the input.  I'll  keep you posted.

 

 

I got the same thing. Feb 26, 2018, my I-751 was moved to my local office. This whole process is so tiresome. Arrggghhh!!!

It’s been a week since uscis updated its current processing times to 22nd September..

I’m really losing my patience now.

THey should have atleast finished processing every single case till 22nd by now.

Same here. I am at my wit’s end waiting for ROC to be over. Still no case updates. 9/15/2016 filer here.

I know that feeling. It totally sucks. You just need to patient. I am positive that your case will be approved before you depart from the USA.

I leave on March 15. That’s less than a month from today. 

If my ROC gets approved and the green card in production while I’m out of the country, will that invalidate the I-551 green card stamp on my passport? I’m really worried and scared coming back to the USA now. The incompetence of USCIS creates anxiety and trouble for folks like me who are dutifully following the immigration laws but are at the short end of the stick as far as the whims of USCIS are concerned!!!

I would call USCIS and ask to speak with a Tier 2 officer. You are past the  normal processing time.

I just submitted online a case inquiry regarding my application. I got a web response saying that I should hear back from USCIS by March 10. Arrggghhh!!

Also, I had to type in the receipt number on my I-751 receipt notice. The system gave me an error when I typed in the receipt number that’s on the biometrics notice form. But when I perform a status check on their website, it’s the biometrics receipt number that works and not the one on the I-751 receipt. 

I hate this bullsh**.

This is so frustrating. I have another international trip scheduled in March 2018. My ROC NOA date is 09/15/2016 and yet, still no approval.

I had to undergo secondary screening last time I reentered the US and I’m scared of having to go through that yet again!

You're able to create an account with USCIS and link your case number to it: https://egov.uscis.gov/casestatus/disclaimer.do

Go to that link and at the bottom right is a button saying Sign Up

 

When you've linked your case number (the biometrics case number), you can then turn on text and email notifications for it.

I tried signing up. At the personal info section under ‘user type’, do I choose ‘applicant’ or ‘petitioner filing for self’? I’m confused.

Hello Everyone,

I am have been following this thread but I have never posted for awhile. I just signed into my account and realized that my new card is in production. I couldn't be  any happier because this process has been really slow. I want to  encourage everyone to be positive about their process. There is definitely a light the end of the tunnel. Wishing everyone a speedy approval.  

What do you mean by signing into your account? I thought we go to the USCIS website and enter the WAC number to check our status?

I’m irritated in the delay of my ROC. Still frickin’ nothing while everybody else keeps getting approved.

Great. I am an October  2016 filer. Keeping a close eye on September filers. Good to hear that CSC has stated looking at end Sept cases.

Anyways congrats and good luck.

 

What do you mean by CSC has started looking at end Sept cases? 

Ozgirl, please edit the tracking info to reflect the dates for my biometrics:

notice date - 10/23/2016

biometrics appointment date - 11/10/2016

Thank you in advance!

My ROC NOA date was 9/15/2016 but my biometrics date was sometime in November 2016. Will this delay my approval? Does USCIS go by NOA date or biometrics date?

I was awakened by a bunch of text messages from USCIS at 6 am. And here it is! After almost 5 years since the day I filed my I-485, non-seeing my family all these years, endless fear to have problems because of 3-hours stoke interview we had, after many sleepless night and axiety, it's finally over. If only you knew what a relief! Thank you everyone here for your support here because this forum was really helpful. Good luck to everyone who's waiting. You'll get it very soon!

Was your Stokes interview for Removal of Conditions?

I took a peek at the Aug 2016 CSC ROC filers. Only 64% have been approved. This process is just being dragged by USCIS.

I am worried about possible delays with the processing of our ROCs, given this US government shutdown.

Doesn’t USCIS operate using the fees they collect from applicants? Will there really be an effect on USCIS?
