Email ? Text ? Letter ? 

Everything at the same time.

at least 10 text messages lol

I just got approved. 

CSC. Noa 06/27/2016.

It was a long journey. I wish everyone good luck. We deserved it. 

Today I landed at JFK with my infopass. There was no problem with passport check, they just made me go to "special room" to get another stamp in my passport.

Where to check CSC? How to put my dates into this table?

Just write here your dates (date when you sent your package/ NOA/ biometrics date/ date when you got approved) and you will be added

I am sorry for what they are doing at the DMV!  The driver license validity period can vary, apparently. When I got my 2 year GC, I got a license that was valid for 8 years. I hope once approved, you'll get one that is valid for a long time buddy.

Yeah, I guess AZ has special rules about it(((

$30 is the license fee in Illinois. Mine cost $30 and is valid for the full four years. Hers cost $30 and is valid for just over one year. I preferred North Carolina's system, where the fee is on a per-year basis! (Don't know how other states do it.)

That's annoying

When we moved to Illinois last summer, the DMV charged my wife the full $30 license fee for a license valid not much more than a year (we're going through ROC, so they used the end of the 1-year extension as the cut-off for the license). Before that, when we lived in NC, she had a series of 1-year licenses (F1 visa) and then one 2-year license (on the initial green card), and the fee was something like $4 or $5 per year of validity; she didn't have to pay the full-length license fee for every single short license. Doubtful that the 10-year card will have arrived by October, so she'll probably have to get an I-551 stamp, renew the license for another single year, pay the full $30 again... quite a racket.

Wow $30 it's a lot(((. I went through the same process as your wife did, but the cost was $15 per card. I wonder why it was $10 this time. 

But still $30((((((. Maybe because you guys moved to a new state? Maybe if you would wanna get Illinois license they will also charge you around $30

Yeah it depends on the State and to be honest it's just dumb to issue 2 year driver licenses to GC holders. The DMV is not an immigration law enforcement arm so it doesn't make sense why they will limit a customer's ability to drive per their immigration status.

True. It's not like $10 per license is a lot, it just time consuming 

Just now, MaleAlpha said:

I wonder why some states issue these short term driver licenses. In Oregon, driver licenses are issued for a duration of 8 years regardless of whether you are a citizen, have a 2 year or 10 year GC. Saves everyone the trouble.

I have no idea what is behind it. Maybe you are right, it depends on a state 😩

I got my new driver's license today (valid for the next 6 month) with infopass in my passport. There was no problem at DMV office. 

However, I am still annoyed by delay with green card((((. It means once I'll get my GC I will have to go back and get another license. Seriously, it's my 5th license card🤦🏻‍♀️

Is true - i looked at this yesterday, and I notice Miami office are super slow at N400, taking a year now. 

In the olden days Miami would process this in 6-9 months. 

 

New times. Get used to it friends...... 

N400 takes a year for most of the offices

Im a late july filer and i kind of evaluated the june trending. Of course there are exceptions but the waiting is about a year or so. I cant wait to be over this. 

To think that (though it doesn't help) last year, after 6 months one of my auntie got her approval... Oh well. 

Yeah, unfortunately it got longer than it supposed to be 😞

Its not accurate guys. Remember, people with a NOA date beyond june 9th received their approval. I know, seeing this is frustrating but this is for april 30th, ie ON APRIL 30TH THEY WERE REVIEWING UP TO JUNE 9TH

I agree. Their dates aren't accurate. I assume they post these dates to check if they missed someone while they are working on June 17th applications for example.

Calling the USCIS is like calling your mother - it makes you feel good but nothing changes. I get more useful information from VisaJourney.

So true 🤣🤣🤣

Anybody know if they will tell me if my case is assigned to an officer if I call the 1-800 number for USCIS?

To be honest I don't think so. Call center is useless. I was calling then every 3 weeks since December. The only information that I was getting is "Please wait, you should get your green card next month". Obviously I haven't gotten anything yet.

Some people say it a good idea to ask supervisor on the phone, but I don't know how often it happens.

Trust me, a stamp on the passport (looks very official) is much more legit looking than a letter outside of USA. Airport officials in INDIA and all very hard to convince using that letter. Not impossible, but hard and nerve wreaking.  

Wow! I didn't know that.  Well I guess it good that I got it

Just now, matt9052 said:

Dont worry, we should hear something within the coming 2-3 months for sure. June filers are already moving, I wont be surprised if we get something this month itself. So 6 months is more than enough. 

 

True

Just now, JimmyTheKnife said:

Don't get me wrong - you're doing the right thing. For historical reasons I have zero confidence in the extension letter while traveling.  Have a safe trip!

 

Jim

Thank you. With inforpass 50% of confidence only 😂

6 minutes ago, matt9052 said:

I totally agree. We got the stamp for 1 year (till june of 2018). 

Good for you. The lady said if I won't get my GC within 6 months I will have to come back and get another stamp.

i wonder why she did give a year. But they make their own rules. Lol

Just now, JimmyTheKnife said:

Thanks for passing on your experience. 

 

We're traveling to the PH again in December. If the new GC hasn't arrived before that we'll get the I-551 stamp and surrender the old GC. I'll hold off for as long as possible, however. 

I would wait too, but I will travel outside of the US next month. So I was worrying I won't get my GC and probably I will not.
