I am admittedly least knowledgable here on this forum but are you sure she can file a new application? If the application has been denied on grounds of lack of moral character, she might have to wait five years until the statute expires.

I think it depends on which is your country of origin and how common is your name which factors in how quickly a background check will clear for you. Just my observations.

I think on average you should receive the card in the mail about 3 weeks from the date on your letter. However, most likely your status online will change to "card is in production" and then 3 days later "card is mailed" so you will know to wait for it.

I wanted to update everyone that I received my card yesterday. It has been a long journey and I couldn't have endured the wait without all of you VJers' support. I am extremely grateful and want to say big Thank You!

Added new folks to the list. @kerry_and @Stella851 Congrats @babu_dandewala and @Stella851 for the approvals! Updated the list with your approval dates. I also got my approval letter today and updated the list with my stats. May God bless all of you still waiting with a speedy approval!

@Stella&andrew From what I have seen with other VJers, folks get the approval letter 7-10 days after the approval date and the status changes 4-5 days later to "card in production". Nobody is seeing online updates just for approvals. So you should expect to receive your letter by end of this week / early next week and your status will update online few days after.

As requested, I added @laza and @BernieRich to the list @JimyAnita Happy to add you to the list if you give me your stats.

Thank you! I am not sure yet whether it matters. However, I think that the local offices drive a lot of the approvals. My theory is that after the adjudicators in VSC do their job and rate each application, the application is routed through the computer system to the local office to select it for an interview or not. Then if the computer doesn't randomly select you for a spot, your application gets approved, hence the local field office address at the bottom, but the signature is from the VSC service center director. Of course, this is just a theory.

@avaya Congrats! Can you tell us the address below Laura Z.'s signature?

@mrsdietcoke Folks say that you can see part of the hand with the torch of the Statue of Liberty.

@meehan Congrats on your approval! Can you share the name of the person who signed your letter as well as the city in the address below it?

Good luck with the RFE! Your package seems solid to me. Can u share what date u received the RFE?
