Ah that's right. 
Thanks, Luckycuds!

Hi all, 
 
I finally got my CG in the mail today!
 
I had sent my package to Vermont June 8th, 2018.
I got my biometrics done July 17
Silence and no updates on either USCIS websites.
 
I randomly decided to check the old case status tracker yesterday, and it had finally updated saying that my card was mailed on the 25th. 
Almost a year and 2 months later :)

YUP, sounds like my case. 
Mine hasn't been updated since they received it, even after I got my biometrics done last July *shrug* 

I just came back from my biometrics appointment. I was there for no more than 5 minutes. 
They took my picture and they already had my fingerprints in their system. 
Original appointment was for 2PM but I went at noon. Office was completely empty except for one other person in front of me. 
 
Although the appointment letter says to bring either passport or state ID, they asked for my GC. 

Nice!! We can finally breathe now!  

Hi everyone, 
I got my NOA in the mail today - notice date 6/13; 18 month extension. 
 
It seems like VSC is picking up the pace - I resent my package on 6/2, delivered 6/4, cash checked 6/15, NOA mailed 6/18. 
 
When I originally sent it 5/2, it took them until 5/29 to actually review the package.

Muito obrigada!

Hiii, just got back from Social Security office. 
Everything breezy. They didn't ask for my current SS card, just the green card.
Took probably less than 5 minutes (actual wait was about 2 hours) , and new unrestricted SS card will be mailed within 2 weeks
 

Yeah, they received mine on 5/4, and the NOA has a date of 5/29, got returned to me in the mail today. 
So if I resend mine by Monday...I guess I'll be cutting it really close seeing that my GC expires 6/30. 

Hi friends,
I finally got my green card! It arrived through usps yesterday, and I am so beyond emotional and excited as this has been a very stressful journey.
Visajourney helped me a LOT, and I just wanted to pay it forward by listing the entire process.
A little background on me -- I came into the country on a visitor's visa, and then eventually changed my status to F1
Being an F1 student was incredibly hard, not only because of tuition, but because the limitations. Getting my license, for example, was like getting stars from the sky.
Eventually I was able to get my social security card through the school, as I had to do a summer internship.
4 years ago, I met my now wonderful husband, who didn't really know about my situation. He did know I was an F1 student, but that was the extent, because truthfully, american citizens who were born here don't really understand all this immigration stuff. Fast forward 3.5 years later, I transferred to a 4 year college, and tuition was even more expensive. Somehow we got into talking about loans and how I needed a co-signer, and how hard life is, etc. He had also mentioned that his mother pretty much said 'if you love her, marry her'. He proposed with my dream ring, got married February 12th, and began the AOS process.
I mailed everything (I-130, I-485, I-765) on February 29th, and arrived at the Chicago Lockbox on March 1st.
April 8th - Went to get my biometrics
May 11th - EAD card in production
June 1st - Greencard interview scheduled for June 30th
June 9th - Got EAD in the mail (finally)
June 30th - Went in for greencard interview. Interview lasted less than 1 hour
Online USCIS status changed to Card in production
July 1st - USCIS status changed to I-485 approved
USCIS status changed to I-130 approved
July 7th - USCIS status changed to USPS picked up card
July 8th - GREENCARD IN HAND!
I'm trying to attach my I-485 and I-130 checklist, but it says i'm not "permitted to upload this kind of file" -- if anyone needs it, I can email them to you.
I also have pictures of my packages before I sent them - I can email them to you as well!
If anyone has any questions, don't hesitate to ask! I might not have all your answers, but it may help others going through the same process.
