We got the approval letter (I-797C) in the mail today, dated 1-14-2010! Should be getting new Greencard within the next 60 days!! Yay!!!

Good luck to everyone and sending fast approval vibes to you all!

We got our Biometrics letter today for 10/7/09. Can someone update us? Sorry, I have no idea how to do it. Thanks!

We got NOA I-797C, dated 9/14. Yay! Hopefully our evidence was sufficient and things will move along fast.

When I first moved to NYC, I also got an ID card instead of a drivers license because I didn't own a car and never drove. I say both of you guys get an NYC ID card - and fast - and send copies in. At least it'll have your same address on it. Good luck!

Well my check was cashed as of 9/16/09. Waiting on NOA1. Whoooo hoooo!

Question - when I view the check through my bank's website, USCIS has written numbers all over it, front and back. I can barely make out numbers/letters. Does anyone know where the WAC number would be, so I can check my case status online? Thanks.

OOPS, our son was born in 2008, not 3008! he is not a future spawn or anything!

For some reason the VJ website wouldn't let me edit the post.

Wow, I totally didn't give a lot of info. All I included was:

Birth certificate of our son, born 12/14/3008

Picture of our son

Our official birth annoucement

Our wedding announcement from 2007

A picture from our 1-year anniversary celebration from 2008

copy of our current lease with both our names

In all honesty, I'm not worried about it, at all. If they want to call us in for an interview and listen to us bicker back and forth like a bonafide married couple (we do that well) so be it!

Do you have a US address that you're using for your immigration paperwork? If so, I'm not sure how they will know that you're not living in the USA. I think the child's birth certificate and maybe a few pictures will be enough to prove relationship for the ROC. I'm not sure they'll be checking that you're still a resident - their main priority is proof of bonafide relationship at this junction. I could be wrong, though, I've been wrong before!

Thanks, NYCBRA, for adding me and for the info. I promise to do the updates myself!

In unrelated news: wow, I really need to shorten up my signature! Yikes!

Could someone add us, please? We sent our I-751 paperwork off on Sept 5th. We sent it "priority", which means it probably will take a week to get there.

Funds are tight right now for us - I'm collecting unemployment and my hubby is working at a restaurant and not making a lot. I'm thinking about filing for the fee waiver, but I'm afraid that would hurt his immigration status, since the K1 visa had all that ####### about financially supporting your spouse, etc.

Has anyone else filed the fee waiver? $600 is a big chunk of money right now!

Question - hubby's permanent resident card expires on 12/3/09. So counting 90 days backward would put us at Sept 4th. Should I send the paperwork on the 4th or a few days earlier so it'll get there on the 4th? What did everyone else do? Thanks!

I moved and then filed the AR-11 and also changed the address with USCIS online (https://egov.uscis.gov/crisgwi/go?action=coa). Received the reminder to remove conditions in our new address. I also remember getting a letter once I did the USCIS change of address online stating that they have updated all of my AOS applications (130,485, 131 and 765) with this new address.

If your AOS applications were all pending, then they would send you a letter. But nothing was pending for us when we changed our address (we did it online, too) hence why we didn't get a letter.

We have moved also and just got the reminder letter at our OLD address. Hubby was pissed and frustrated. I went online to file another AR-11, wrote down the new confirmation number, and came on here to see if anyone else had some info. I hope this won't hurt us when we apply to lift conditions at the end of the month!

Actually, our card was ordered on the 5th, but the touch is updated on the 6th

First, the good news: CARD PRODUCTION ORDERED AS OF 12/6!!! Yay!!!

Now, the 'odd news' - They must have approved it at 7am this morning - I suppose the CSC is burning the midnight oil to get everyone approved! No complaints here, though!

CONGRATS MAE! I checked our case status today and we were touched again - today! Hopefully we'll get an approval by the end of the week!

Good news! For 2 days, I didn't check my case's status online as they've never "touched" it since the day they transferred it in Nov. 6. Today, I thought I'd check without expecting anything, but to my surprise:

Receipt Number: MSCXXXXXXXXXX

Application Type: I485, APPLICATION TO REGISTER PERMANENT RESIDENCE OR TO ADJUST STATUS

Current Status: Notice mailed welcoming the new permanent resident.

On December 3, 2007, we mailed you a notice that we had registered this customer's new permanent resident status. Please follow any instructions on the notice. Your new permanent resident card should be mailed within 60 days following this registration or after you complete any ADIT processing referred to in the welcome notice, whichever is later. If you move before you get your new card call customer service. You can also receive automatic e-mail updates as we process your case. Just follow the link below to register.

I am just so happy! I was hoping to get approved by Christmas that's why I didn't expect that it would come this soon. What a surprise!!! I checked my mail and found that CRIS has 2 emails for me. One is that one above and the other one is this:

Receipt Number: MSCXXXXXXXXXX

Application Type: I485 , APPLICATION TO REGISTER PERMANENT RESIDENCE OR TO

ADJUST STATUS

Current Status: Card production ordered.

On December 3, 2007, we ordered production of your new card. Please allow 30

days for your card to be mailed to you. If we need something from you we will

contact you. If you move before you receive the card, call customer service. You

can also receive automatic e-mail updates as we process your case. Just follow

the link below to register.

Thank God! I am so grateful right now because I've been looking forward to doing so many things and now that I will be receiving my GC, we can now do all our plans. YEAH!

Good luck to everyone. May your waiting be over!

CONGRATS MAE!!

Got touched on 11/29 ... hope that means Greencard is coming soon!

Congrats everyone!!!

I feel like Ive joined some bizarre religious sect, as I only get touched on Sundays.

We also got touched on Sun 11/11, saying that our case was now "pending" at the CSC. We also got our NOA whatever, saying that we had been transferred to CA. Let's hope something happens soon for US ALL! Good luck and may the touches be as "satisfying" for them as they are for us! Haha!

Well, after giving up my hopes since it's been 4 months since we filed our AOS, they transferred my case to CSC today. Isn't it too late for a transfer? Why in the world it took so long for them to do that? I'm not really complaining but I hope it's not going to be a long wait again due to that transfer.

--Mae

Hey Mae, I feel the exact same way you do! We were just transferred to CSC as of Nov. 5th. I hope we both here something soon!

Please update us on the list! Thanks.

After being at NBC for 4 months, they finally transferred my case to CSC... gawd! Can I please be added here in your database?

Holy ######! Same thing happened to us - as of Nov 5th, we've been transferred to CSC. I hope we all get the greencards SOON!

Congrats Gabacha+Esposo!!!!!!

Alright, dudes, I don't have any hang ups about saying my theory is wrong.

I'm going to take a stab at an idea, and if I'm wrong, then oh well.

Since the fee increase, it seems that people who DO NOT get RFE's get transfered to CSC, (thus no interview). Those who DO get RFE's get transfered to local offices and receive interviews (probably to verify original paperwork?).

Correct me if I'm wrong here. Just some rambling.

Yeah, but I wanna know if this theory (above) can be proven/disproven. I ain't trying to crack the USCIS code, but I do think that they may be trying to make up for lost time with the backlog by following this simple plan that I've mentioned above.

True or false, CSC transfers - did you get an RFE for your AOS?
