Congrats,  what office and what estimated time did the website say?

 

San Diego field office. The website said over 12 months so we just kind of put this out of our minds. Surprised to see it happen much sooner.

My wife filed in July and just got her interview letter which is scheduled for December 11th. Best of luck to the rest of you!

CSC filer here. I am the last filer on the list. New card in production on 9/15/2017!!!!!!!!!!

On to the next step.

No, I wouldn't assume that at all.  I haven't received a RFE (yet) and I'm 06/22 NOA CSC.  

 

Your NOA is in July so you have weeks to go yet.  Haha.  Who knows how these people process applications.  Mine is still pending.  Why?  Who TF knows.  

Anyway, i'm off to Russia for a few weeks on Monday, so I'll maybe hear something when I get back.  Meh.  I got bored looking.  I have I551 stamp, so I'll think about it again when I get back in September. 

 

Bottom of the pile syndrome is my guess.  Just ride it out buddy......    

Yea I'm definitely not worried. We don't have international travel plans until March so I would like to think we get the 10-year by then.

California is looking good. Being last on the list, is it safe to assume if I would have received an RFE by now?

It feels lonely at the bottom of the CSC list

Sorry I thought i was being helpful here but I probably just created more doubt. I would just get the visa.

My wife wasn't from one of the countries listed or the Schengen area so maybe we just got lucky.

what is your country? Maybe they consulate was correct but its not very clear.

US Residents: If your United States visa stamped on your passport already expired but you have an official document proving your legal status in USA, you must apply for a Mexican visa (I-797 A Forms, Advance Parole Forms, I-20 OR DS-2019 Forms won’t be accepted to entering Mexico), unless you have a valid Visa for any of the countries listed above (Canada, Japan, United Kingdom or Schengen area) .

Thank you. Reason I ask because i emailed Mexico consulate in Houston and one of them answer me that i need to apply for visa. So i don't know if they changed anything for this case.

We went in April. Did you tell the Consulate that you were a LPR from the united states? If not this is where the confusion may have come from. The link I posted is from the consulate website so they gave you wrong information assuming you told them you are a USA LPR.

Yes my follow up comment noted that we used the 1 year extension letter when we traveled and it was fine. We flew southwest airlines and they knew how to handle it.

As a note my wife and I went to Cancun with her extension letter and we had no problems (aside from having all of our bags inspected by Mexican authorities).

As a LPR of USA you do not need a visa:

effective May 2016 all those foreign nationals, regardless of their nationality, visiting Mexico for tourism, business or transit are NOT required to obtain a Mexican visa IF they hold a valid (non-expired) Visa or Permanent Residence of any of this countries: United States of America, Canada, Japan, United Kingdom or Schengen area (European Union)

As far as I know, if you're married more than 2 years to your US citizen husband and you applied for AOS then you will get 10 years GC, but if you're married with US citizen less than 2 years then you will get 2 years and you need to apply for ROC. Bottomline, more than 2 years marriage is more real than less than 2 years and let's admit it, there are many fake marriages here in the US just to get GC.

If you applied for AOS after two years of marriage you will have missed some pretty key deadlines.

You aren't late. Just file your I751 before it runs out.

If you have not yet been added to the list and would like to be, please supply the following details:

 

Whether you filed at CSC or VSC

The date you filed your I-751

Your NOA1 date

Your Biometrics appointment date

 

Then update us when you get the good news of your approval!

 

Thanks!

A little late to the party here:

CSC

Filed: 6/29/2016

NOA1: 7/4/2016

Bio Appt: 7/29/2016
 

Mail it from Canada about halfway through your vacation. That way you wont miss your Bio appt. and you will have your extension letter before your 8/27 travel.

Romanian citizenship can be acquired after five years of marriage to a Romanian Citizen.

I also want to chime in about the extension letter. We just got back yesterday from being out of the country with the letter and had no issues. Third time using it. Every time its been a different experience but ultimately we had no issues.

Hey Ya'll,  I have not been commenting lately, just reading along and waiting like everyone else, but today, I just did some reading and got so enraged....  

As most of us already know, our MSC cases were delayed due to the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) cases (I-821D & I-765) being put ahead of ours.  I had not read an actual article about it.  This one give statistics on it and states how the MSC had 'hiring difficulties' and there were more than 800K of our cases just piled up in their center.  The article is more than one year old, but here is the link.  I have not been able to keep up with all of the posts in this thread; so, maybe someone already posted something like this.  

 

I got upset while checking the processing times; neither of those case types has a processing date older than August.  The listed processing dates are from August to December.  Meanwhile our cases, in the VSC, have not even hit April of last year......   unbelievable..... 

 

I am sorry, really just ranting today.....

The center for immigration studies is a garbage non-profit organization with an anti-immigration agenda. This article is garbage.

We used this twice to go to and from Romania. No problems.

If all goes smoothly you probably have another 8-9 months of silence before they issue your 10-year green card.

Honestly when I think back to the K-1 Process that I went through, this process, while very long, is kind of an afterthought. We are LPRs and our 10 year greencards will eventually come. If they dont come soon enough we apply for citizenship. Nothing is preventing us from working or traveling (that wasn't already in place before). Sit back and don't sweat it. I am a late June filer and I Ive checked my status twice in the last 9 months because I know I am a LPR.

I met my wife online. I wasn't asked specifically where online I met her.

I don't think you understand what 'convenient' or 'inconvenient' mean.

Secondary processing the first time you come in part of the process. Its not repeated in subsequent trips. Not leaving enough of a connection time to make this stressful doesn't make having permission to get back into the country inconvenient. What is inconvenient is the situation that you / your wife created for yourself. It doesn't mean that other people will experience the same 'stress'.

I don't understand what your problem is. Your experience was different than mine. I'm just sharing my opinion. Please do not tell me whether I how I feel is right or wrong.

causing trouble, difficulties, or discomfort

Everything that my wife went through can be described with those adjectives.
