I have not been very active on VisaJourney, but kept an eye on progress of cases. In particular the I-751, since I'm a March 2017 filer myself. Hereby I wanted to share my I-751 experience so far, so others can learn what to expect and perhaps give hope to other March 2017 filers.

My original GC would expire on May 19th 2017, so we filed the I-751 on March 3rd 2017 and USCIS CSS received our case on March 6th 2017, with the first NOA (with extension letter) received on March 12th. I had my biometrics taken in Orlando, FL on April 18th 2017 and then a whole lot of nothing happened. Literally for a whole year we didn't receive any news. On April 9th 2018 we reported an address change to the USCIS and was processed the next day. We have moved and bought a newly constructed home. After that, things started to seem to ramp up. During the 2 days of June 18th and June 19th 2018 my case was transferred from California to Texas and received a notice of this action about a week later. On July 17th 2018 a RFE was send and we took action right away. Of course with a strong hold on our mortage, car finance, shared bank account, freshly renewed Florida ID's and other information being send back to Texas on August 8h 2018 and received by USCIS on August 13th. Just over a week a week later my status was updated to "New Card Is Being Produced" on August 21st 2018.

I have not yet filled for a N-400, however I will be enjoying this moment first and save some money before we proceed. I just wanted to share this with you all about my I-751 experience.

Today I have received my GC in the mail! So happy right now and releaved it's over...... for now. Any one who got approved lately also congratulations, for all others that still waiting keep hanging in there!

Today received the notice that my card has been sent! Can't wait to it arrive of course. Thanks to everyone to celebrate with me, I hope that others also get their GC as soon as possible. Especially the people who have been waiting longer then I have.

I do have one question though, what does ADIT stands for? Thank you in advance for the answer!

Hey everyone,

I know I haven't been active on screen, but off screen I have. I've read all the messages in this topic to figure out how far everyone is and also how far the USCIS is with processing. A little recap of my experience so far, since I don't have a time-line on my posts.

July 11, 2014 - filed AOS with EAD

July 17, 2014 - Received NOA1

July 28, 2014 - Received bio-metrics appointment, Orlando, FL office.

August 10, 2014 - Bio-metrics appointment, Orlando, FL office

August 11, 2014 - Received request of addition of evidence due lack of income.

October 23, 2014 - Found a family sponsor to help us in our case and filed evidence to Lee's Summit

October 27, 2014 - Received confirmation of receiving request for evidence

November 4, 2014 - Received notification EAD is being made and send out

November 9, 2014 - Received EAD in the mail

November 10, 2014 - Applied for SSN

November 17, 2014 - Received NPIW with signed date: November 12, 2014.

November 18, 2014 - May 20, 2015

Nothing happened during this time period, though succesfully applied for a job at one of Orlando's newest attractions. Occasionally checking the case status, with no updates at all.

May 21, 2015 - Checked my case and surpised to see "Welcome Notice Was Mailed" on May 19, 2015.

I'm totally excited right now, however a lot of things are to be done! Also everyone who is still in the process, good luck to all of you!

Blowing up some dust on this topic, since I thought it was not needed to open a new topic while it's about the same subject. I'm just looking for some advice on this one.

Recentely I applied for my SSN since I also received my EAD earlier this month. Now I'm focusing on getting myself a Florida drivers license, since it will be easier while having a SSN.

First off all, I'm still kind of confussed. So do you or do you not have to take this "DATA" course. I have a valid Dutch drivers license, so I'm not a stranger to the roads even if it's in another country. Of course different "rules of the road" but those can be learned. I just got confused because of the DMV website refers to it differentely on 2 pages.

Also what kind of documents do I need when I apply for a Florida drivers license. I've seen other listed up:

* Social Security Card

^ EAD

* Passport of country of origin

^ Drivers License from country of origin

* Proof of residence (I will be using I-797, AOS filed) and (Vehicle registration) I've purchased a vehicle on my same) However I don't drive it, but my wife does.

Advice is requested, like what to tell the DMV people about obtaining the Florida drivers license.

I guess I can add myself to the "Potential Interview Waiver Case" group as well.

Have filed my I-485 with I-765 on July 15th, 2014. Got to a stand still when I needed

to submit more evidence, so after 2,5 month delay my case could continue with processing.

So already a 2,5 month delay... On November 6th my EAD got approved and a week

later I received. Following weekday went to Social Security Office to apply for a SS #.

Then I received the letter like many more received, mine with a sign date of November 12th, 2014.

Just wanted to share my experience briefly, now the waiting begins!

JK,

Hi everyone,

Just made a new account to I can join in the conversations, have been a reader for a while and got a lot of information from Visa Journey to help me along the way. In the meantime I'm in the AOS part, so pretty far already. But still thought it was nice to blend in.

JK,
