Hi!

Question. How long it took for you to get your green card from the dt it said the card was in production?

 

Thanks!

 

The green card expiration date is 10 years from approval date as well.

13 days after approval date but I read printing was going to be an issue after the 15th due to vendor change or lack of vendor. I didn’t track the date it said it was produced sorry.

Wow Congratulations are in order.... 4 months 5 months...that seems like a new record for ROC right now....way to go...........I guess we might be seeing you in N-400 forum.....😀

Yes from the group on Facebook it seems the Texas Center is going fast for the I-751 cases received before the pandemic. Yes, we will be applying for citizenship at beginning of 2021 but Houston, Texas is severely backed up for that. It is averaging 17 months to 45 months so most waiting here will probably pass us up on obtaining citizenship.

Congratulations!! Did your case get transferred to local office? ..this type of info can be seen on my.uscis.gov site only. If SRC< can please let us know your receipt number without the last three digits thank you.

SRC2090161 
 

There was no transfer.

Wow!!! Just 5 months for you?? SRC too???

 

I just realized that our notice date was 2/10 and the approval date 6/10 so that’s exactly 4 months. And yes SRC.

We just received an approval notice. Took less than 5 months. I am in shock.

Yup! SRC case and I came with a K1 visa to begin with

Ok same here. Hopefully these cases move fast!

I got the same update. They are reusing old ones. Completely normal in these times.

Okay wow since the old biometrics are over 2 years old. They should refund our biometrics fee huh! Lol j/k I know that’s not happening!

Yup! Got the same text message this morning!

Is your case Texas Service Center also?

Hey, just received a text update tonight saying case had been updated. I checked it and the update said “Case Was Updated To Show Fingerprints Were Taken”. We have not even received a biometric letter and I know my husband has not completed this. Has this happened to anyone else?

If your g2c is valid you can travel but if you get your bio appt and miss your appointment it will complicate your case or it will get behind

We will only be gone a week and we have informed delivery set up for our mail plus our family will check it while we are gone. I doubt the notice will give us less than a weeks notice for bio appt but would just do a walk in to get it done if so.

Correct me if I am wrong, but I thought you could not travel until you have completed your bio metrics.  

No one has said this. Green card is still valid and we have extension letter.

My wife (GC holder) is being asked by her work to provide proof of work authorization.  Her GC expires Feb 28 and we will send the package out this week.  Does any one know what the process is once the package is sent? Is there a letter they send back that serves as an extension while it is being processed? How long does this extension letter typically take to receive? Thanks!

She needs to mail it soon. The extension letter took a week (2/13) from the date our package was received (2/5) and it provides 18 month extension. My husbands expires 3/29 and I wanted his job to have it definitely at least 30 days in advance to prevent any employer issues.

Hi Scienceteacher15! Please let us know when you get any updates about the i-751!

Did you mail it to Phoenix or Dallas? Thanks!

We received our notice in mail yesterday dated for 2/7 with package received on 2/5. I mailed my package to Dallas as I am in Texas and that’s where it said for my state.

Hey everyone. We have a trip to India at the end of February. Is it safe to travel abroad as a conditional resident. My GC is valid until February 2021. 

You will be fine. Plenty of time on greencard left. I think the real issues come if it’s expired or close to expiring. Have traveled several times with my husband as a CR.

2 hours ago, DebbieRaney said:

You should be fine since your GC expires only in the end of March. If you get the extension letter before you go to the DR, take it with you just in case  

Thank you. This was my exact thoughts as well. Hopefully the extension letter arrives quickly. Last night I checked for a new i751 and it’s still not updated this we used the available version that expired 12/31/19. Our application will arrive this week after the 3rd but has a February 1st postmark. Since the agency is still slow with uploading an updated form it would seem they would accept this form up until they provide a new version.

Hello all,

Just mailed i751 application today. We have a trip planned to Dominican Republic for March 07-14, 2020. 2 year Green card expires 3/29/2020. Does anyone think we will have problems with reentry?

The new Removal of Conditions timelines look equally disheartening - at this rate we'll all be applying for naturalization before we get conditions removed. However, it's a drag for everyone waiting for AOS that the timeline for ROC and naturalization doesn't start until AOS is approved...

I was honestly hoping to skip the ROC process because June 1st makes 2 year wedding anniversary however we just had interview on Monday. It was not approved on the spot however. The lady said she had everything she needed from us but she was missing the original visa file she would have to request from National Visa Center and a decision would be mailed or another interview request would be sent. I was flabbergasted an interview was even scheduled without having all necessary files.

Hello fellow Feb filers

 

Did you see the new processing times format? Like in my case,  my field office is Dallas, the current case inquiry date is August 2015 for i-485. They said you can not submit an "outside normal processing time" inquiry if your receipt number is not before that??? Did they just make that extremely depressing for us?

I saw the new times. For a Houston filer the amount of time for AOS is 11 months to 29.5 months. Any service requests not 30 months or older will be just answered that the case is within normal processing times. And yes the non normal time would go back to 2015!!!

I had my AOS interview on the 7th of March 2018, over three weeks now. Went really quick, straight forward and was told that they couldn't make a decision on the day as they only got looking at my case. My status has been at 'Interview Was Completed And My Case Must Be Reviewed' ever since. I regret not asking how long I should be expected to wait, like an estimate or even ask if there is no update by x date when should I contact them. Anyone have an idea how long I should wait before contacting them? I'm probably just getting impatient at this stage, but my combo card expires this May and my extension/renewal I applied last February just says 'Case Was Received.' I don't want to get into the situation where I can't work or even drive... 

When they sent you the acceptance letter for EAD/AP renewal it mentions that is the proof of the 180 day extension on that letter.

Very upset and discouraged.  We've been waiting and waiting.  Last update in March of 2017 was that they'd received the request for evidence (they wanted copies of bank statements we'd already sent, but whatever, we sent them along with many more months than requested).  Now we get a new letter today thinking it will be the interview date.  Nope, RFE now they say we need a new medical examination and vaccination record because the one we submitted is more than a year old.  I get the feeling we just went to the back of the line again and will now have to request new EADs since they will expire in July.

 

I got on here today to ask about a new medical and saw this. My husband had his first medical in March of 2016 and we applied for AOS in February 2017. Its coming up on 2 years since his medical. Our last status is fingerprint fee received. No RFE but the Houston office is estimated to take 1.5 years from time of application to get interview. Do we need to do another medical or is it only needed when it’s over a year old at time of AOS application?

324 days no rfe or any changes and no interview notice. I have a feeling Houston office will take much longer than other offices. 

My husband's  EAD card expires on 4/13/18. Last Application was received 2/27/17. Should we apply for renewal and if so what all needs to be included?

My EAD expires at the beginning of May. Will have to reapply, I’m just annoyed that I’ll have to pay the fee again and will use the card only for couple of months before I get GC. 

Yes no fee just include your approval letters indicating i485 is pending and you have EAD. I am kind of hoping that the green card is not received until after June 1st which is our 2 year wedding anniversary. Houston processing times still show they are working on cases from Aug/ Sept of 2016 so I think we are in for a longer haul compared to others.
