Hey everyone, no CONGRATS needed, just wanted to inform all of you who are still waiting on your 10 year. We were approved today. I logged on to the USCIS website and it said this....

Application Type: CRI89, PETITION TO REMOVE CONDITIONS OF PERMANENT RESIDENT STATUS RECEIVED

Current Status: Card production ordered.

On October 1, 2008, 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.

Our info is below when we sent in our package. Good luck to everyone who is waiting.

Hi, I never added my husband to the house either. I just didn't send it in. I sent in other evidence. We're still waiting. We filed May 2. I'll let you know what happens. But it wasn't a problem when we went for AOS.

Are you serious? WOW, that's fast! Haven't received anything yet. Ours is May 2.

I would be curious too to see if this meant you got an approval so quickly since we're nearly in the same boat

USCIS got our I-751 petition on 05/07/2008 (according to online record), we got an NOA about 1 week later and had done biometrics on 5/31/2008 --- when I checked online yesterday the date for the CR89__ (forgot what they call it on the site) had been updated to 06/06/2008 --- hoping to have a bit of good luck.

Well, we haven't received anything in the mail yet, so I'm assuming maybe because they're received his fingerprints?? I don't know. When you receive something, let me know.

Thanks!

Hi thanks for replying.

We just sent in our packet a little over a month ago. I doubt it would be approved that fast, would it? Can it be that it was touched for maybe more evidence, or they just received the update that Paul went to his biometrics appointment? OMG!!! Now that I'm thinking about it.......I bet it was for them CORRECTING his A#. They had the wrong one on there when they sent TWO biometrics appointment letters. Wonder if it could be that.

Hi, our case was "touched" on the 4th, two days ago....does that mean we will be receiving some kind of letter or something?

Thanks!

Yeah, that would be great if you let us all know. How strange. I thought we were the only ones. I wonder if they're all coming from the CSC?

Hey all,

My husband just received another notice in the mail the other day two appear in early June for his Biometrics appointment. He received one almost two weeks ago, to appear on the 31st, which is on a Saturday, which I thought was kind of weird, then a week later, we got the same letter, but for a different day. Could it be they got the dates wrong? We don't know what we should do.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Melanie

This is happening to so many people including myself....there was another thread on it, and most people are going to the first appointment and taking both letters..this seems like the best thing to do...I am going on Wed for my appointment and will let you all know if they tell me to do something special about the second appointment.

I mean TO appear, not TWO appear, LOL

Thank you to both of you. Paul took the letter to the DMV, and was able to renew his license. Thanks a lot!

Hey all,

I heard some of you mention a NOA1 letter that we would get that extends the conditional resident status for one year....is that the letter that came in the mail that says I-797C? Or will we get something else in the mail? Need to renew drivers license, wondering if we can use that. Also, can we add this letter to the USCIS website with the receipt number? I tried, but it won't take it. Thanks

Thanks a bunch!

That looks great! You have way more than what we had. We only had maybe half of that. Good luck!

I think you'll be ok, but can't say for sure. We sent ours in on the 30th of April, and they received it on the 2nd, and already cashed the check on the 5th, and green card expired on May 3. It got there just in time and we sent it priority only.

Thank you, I hope so too! It was really, really nice to see that that check was cashed! THanks for the good wishes

Hey all, just wanted to know if I'm getting happy for nothing, we sent in our package on April 30. The USPS, said they delivered it on May 3, and I checked our bank account today, and the check was cashed last night on the 5th! I thought that was pretty fast. Does this mean they will work on our case soon, or does that not matter? This was sent to the CSC in Laguna, Ca.

The evidence we sent in:

3 bank statements from Feb 2008, one for 2007 and one from 2006

Check stubs for last 30 days, and from 2007 and 2006 for both of us

pictures

utility bills for this year last and 2006

letter from employee for Paul showing when he started

car insurance in both names again for 2006, 7 and 8

credit card statements in both names for 2008, 2007 and 2006

copies of envelopes from England mailed to both of us from family

copies of greeting cards to each other over the years for birthday, holidays etc...

Do you think that will be ok? We don't have the house in both names, so didn't bother sending that in and didn't send in any sworn affidavits from friends in either. We sent our package regular mail, with a tracking number, but after reading that everyone sent theirs in FEDEX, UPS and Certified, we got nervous, but thank GOODNESS, it got there ok, and they already cashed the check.

I also had a hard time trying to get the forms to download. I tried on all 3 of my computers and all of them kept saying the same thing yours did when you tried to download them. GOOD LUCK to you!!

Cool, congrats!! I hope ours is as fast as yours. We also sent it to the CSC. CONGRATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YAY

Hi Richard, thanks so much for the info. It does help, LOTS! What is TSC?

Melanie

First of all, I apologize, but I have some really dumb questions...

Paul's card expires in 4 days!!! When we were approved for the 2 year, we signed an affidavit saying we would file again in 2 years between Feb 2- May 2 2008. I guess we're not late as long as we have it post marked by the 2nd, am I right? Please say yes!

And....

While the case is pending, is he allowed to still work here? His drivers license also expires on the 2nd of May, will he be able to renew it?

Thanks a lot to anyone who can answer these.

Melanie and Paul

Spi, thank you for your reply. I'll see if I can get that in time.

Caroline, to be honest, I'm not worried either. Just want to have enough to please them. Hope what I have is enough.

Is it a good idea or not to make copies of our credit cards showing our names and the same account number? Like I said, I'm just an authorized user, so the bills only come in his name.

Thanks!

Hey Kat, saw your message on MSN Messenger. You're filing already? We need to get all our stuff together and start doing it too. Ours is up in the beginning of May. Good luck!!

Melanie

Thanks for the replies. Sorry I'm a little late (a month and a half, LOL). Forgot I posted on here, and was busy with Christmas. Hope my paper work is enough. We don't have much.

Your tree is beautiful! You decorated it so pretty. Looks like a professional job. I'm going to go to my garage now and pull out all my decorations and decorate. Thanks for posting this, you got me in to the mood now, LOL. Will post pics tonight, but you'll laugh. No where near as beautiful as that My tree is about 3 ft high, lmao

Melanie and kiddies

Get more docuements, we just got a RFE after 6 months of waiting, they need more financial proofs.

I don't have anymore documents to send that I can think of. I read your post and that really sucks! I hope everything goes good for you guys. You guys have way more than us. Looks like we might be getting an RFE, too then.

We didn't and had very few bills in both names and only recently did we get bank accounts together. She is the primary beneficiary in my living trust, will, 401k, 457 and several friends wrote letters for us.

Good luck to you both! Thanks for the reply. Hope to hear good news from you guys that way I won't worry too much.
