    Receiving of physical green card

    in IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports

    Posted

    Hi all,

    i am writing to all of you who last year were with me in the nightmare of immigration.

    I came in the US at the end of April with a CR-1 visa. At the border they told me that I would receive my green card in the mail in about three months but until today I have received nothing.

    Moreover if i check my case status on elis website (https://elis.uscis.dhs.gov) i see it "processing" but if i check it on https://egov.uscis.gov/casestatus/mycasestatus.do i receive an error

    "My Case Status does not recognize the receipt number entered. Please check your receipt number and try again. If you need further assistance, please call the National Customer Service Center at 1-800-375-5283."

    Is any of you having the same problem?

    I have tried to call the 1-800 number but it is impossible to speak with a real person!

    Problem with paying immigrant fee on USCIS Elis

    in General Immigration-Related Discussion

    Hi Francesca,

    I am having the EXACT same problem. My visa was issued on March 6th. I didn't actually the read the paper that said I had to pay the $165 fee until we were at the border ready to cross by land (Seriously!) but it was was not an issue for my entry. I have been in the USA now my visa "activated" my permanent resident status upon entry, since March 14th.

    I have been trying to pay my $165 fee for my physical green card through USCIS ELIS and it is not working either. It gives me the same error message, even though my A# is nine digits and everything else I enter is correct. My date to "try again" also keeps changing with each day that I attempt again.... It's good to know that it's not just my file and this is a more common problem happening to others.

    From my current experience, and others' advice, not paying the $165 does not affect your entry or status. The fee is really just for the physical green card, which can take up a to a year to receive.

    I have tried calling USCIS and I find it impossible to be able to speak to a real live human about the issue. I even wrote to them through their contact us/help section, but they told me to fill out "all the information given to me on the paper I received." I did, and have been doing it and obviously it's not working.

    Has this issue been resolved for you? Please let me know of any updates if you are able to! I would love to get all this ridiculous administrative nonsense over with finally!

    Hi,

    I have written to the help section of ELIS and within a week they answered telling me that they fixed the problem.

    I just managed to pay the fee!

    I hope you managed too :)

    Green card production after ELIS

    Hi All,

    Did any of you paid the fee via ELIS lately?

    I got my visa issued on March 9th and finally it is in my hand :)

    On the big sealed package there are instruction on how to pay the immigrant fee through USCIS Elis

    I logged in and inserted my A number and DOS number but it keeps giving me the following error message:

    "The A-Number or DOS Case ID you entered is incorrect. Please enter the A-Number and DOS Case ID listed on the USCIS Immigrant Fee handout you received from the U.S. Embassy or consulate.ERROR: NOTE: If your visa was issued less than five (5) days ago, you may not be able to pay the USCIS Immigrant Fee at this time. Based on the date you entered, we recommend that you log into your USCIS ELIS account on or after March, 25, 2015 to pay the fee"

    I am sure i am putting the correct data (i have checked and tried a million times)

    I have also put the zero '0' in the A number between the A and the digits..

    Do you know what i do wrong? Did you have the same problem?

    option 2?

    Based on the date you entered, we recommend that you log into your USCIS ELIS account on or after March, 25, 2015 to pay the fee

    sorry, I'm out of ideas.

    I was thinking that but when i tried to do it on MArch 14th it told me to try again on March 19th so i believe this is sort of an authomated message..

    Do you know who can i contact?

    Did you manage to do it with no problem?

    Thanks,

    Francesca

    NVC Filers - January 2015

    Hello...When is you're last scan date ? Yes I agree it does seem like NVC is slower than they were the week preceding the holidays.It is frustratiing when you are soooooooooo close to the 60 day review period ending.

    I am so tempted to call every day but it is way to depressing to hear " your documents have not been reviewed yet" and then the 60 day catch all spiel.

    I hope that they speed up soon before we all lose our minds.

    Hang in there !!!!

    My last scan date is dec 10th for an error that I caught. Previous scan date was oct 29th. I was really hoping I was in the pipeline for oct 29th :(

    vincesca,

    I also forgot to mention that when I called about sending in the corrected document the first time, the operator told me to send an email to asknvc@state.gov telling them that I was sending the replacement document and otherwise my package was complete and ready to review. It is possible that this helped them to know to use my first scan date. I don't think it hurt.

    Thanks Ikstewart10!

    I have just sent en email to asknvc@state.gov I hope it will help.

    Just out of curiosity, did you ever got an answer to the email?

    Because I sent an email with few questions two weeks ago to the same address but I haven't heard anything...
