After 6 months of wait, status has finally changed to "Card Is Being Produced"

Here is my timeline:

Fee Paid: 16 July 2019

POE: 18 Oct 2019 (JFK)

Card Produced: 18 April 2020

Tips for people waiting for Card:

1. Create Service Request with USCIS (I created 2 tickets)

2. Call USCIS and ask to speak with tier-2 supervisor 

3. Check status with Chat representatives. (Personally, i feel these are the most helpful people in USCIS )

140 days here. Submitted an inquiry to customer service at 121 days. Still nothing, they said they have up to a year to produce the card... Nearly died hearing that. Any advice? I asked about infopass or anything we can do and they said just wait. 

Hi i am also waiting for 150 days now. I heard you can contact your local senator office to expedite the process. I still have my ticket pending with USCIS though but I'm sure it isn't gonna be helpful

I am waiting for 135 days now. POE: 18 Oct 2019

Already raised a complaint with USCIS

Keep us updated! My wife did exact same thing, stayed about 5 days, then departed the US with stamp on 10 October.

 

 

I will update if anything changes.. 

Hi,

I got I-551 on my passport at POE in mid of October. I stayed in US for about 5 days and then I traveled back to my country due to some unfinished work. 

Now my status on USCIS is following:

Quote

In Process

USCIS has accepted your application, petition, or request for processing

I checked with some other friends and their GCs were delivered within 6 weeks. I want to confirm if me moving out of USA so quickly has any impact of Green Card processing.

Any one has similar experience of delayed delivery of GC for any reason ?

My husband just got his canadian spousal visa and will be moving there in a few weeks. We also just recieved notice that our i130 is approved. our goal is to live here in America, so we want to be together in canada until he gets his visa for the US (im assuming a few months). once hes in canada who do we have to notify about his change of address? will it make the process longer?  does anyone know how long it will take until hes issued a visa? how do we check the priority date? also if someone can direct me to  a checklist of documents which i can start to prepare for NVC, that will be much appreciated. thank you so much

 

To move your case from one embassy to another, you will have to prove that your husband has legal status in Canada. Once you have enough documentation (which may include: Canadian visa, Driving license, Bank details, etc.) then you will have to write an application to NVC, using this form: https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/visa-information-resources/ask-nvc.html?wcmmode=disabled

Once processed, NVC will notify the new case number through email.

P.S: Don't wait for NVC reply and keep uploading your document to CEAC as everything will remain the same, only new case number will be generated. 

Our documents got approved today after 38 days.

I hope you will also get the reply soon.

Hi,

I submitted all documents through CEAC portal 5 weeks ago but it is pending for review. I called NVC to inquire about the status and they told me that NVC reviews all submitted documents within 2-3 weeks max, the agent said that he will write a complaint and it may take further 6 weeks for the complaint to get resolved which mean wait of another 1.5 months ..  

Any one else faced similar issue as it is getting really frustrating as we are stuck at NVC since forever.

Today CEAC status changed to "Issued".. Alhamdulillah

I think embassy was backlogged as my case status was stuck at Ready since my interview, it briefly changed to AP(during weekend) and then to issued 

Thanks for all the help guys!!!

So, I wrote to the embassy and explained them my situation. I asked them that how can i request my passport back for travelling. 

I got a very brief reply from embassy that "Your case should be ready by early next week. Thank you for your patience"

My CEAC is still showing Ready for interview and last updated is today ( because of my mail )

Should I expect a good news in next week as they didn't mention administrative processing or any other delay over the mail? 

Thank you all for the help.

I have decided not add my brother for now but i will send the updated i864 @interview if situation will change. 

I have a question regarding household size Part5 - Q6 ("If you have sponsored any other persons on an I-864 or I-864 EZ who are now lawful permanent residents, enter the number here.")

I have already given I-864 to my brother who is awaiting visa after his interview, Should I count my brother in new I-864?? Though my brother is not lawful permanent resident as of now?

Couple weeks is my recollection

Thanks for the info.. Did your CEAC status kept changing while they had your passport. As mine is stuck at Ready for interview since i gave my interview couple of weeks ago.

Why don’t you email them and ask them?

We had very good response on requests from Riyadh IV unit.

Yep, I will be sending them an email tonight. 

How much time did they take for your case to return the passport ?

I know that Pakistanis have longer AP compared to others, hoping that i will get the passport back in time otherwise cancelling my trip will be the wise choice. 

However, my CEAC still shows Ready for interview and was last updated a week ago. I think my case should still be in AP although CEAC is stating otherwise ?

They won’t expedite anything at this stage. AP takes as long as it takes. Could be weeks, months or even years. 

 

Pakistan cases usually have a longer-than-normal AP, maybe (in part) because of the lack of police certificates.

 

It’s strange that you have planned an overseas trip so close to immigrating. 

Actually, I have applied through Riyadh, Saudi Arabia consulate as i am working here. My trip was already planned since long for annual vacations. 

However, I will check with the embassy by end of this week about the status and for the possibility of getting my passport back for travelling purpose.

I had my interview on 30th June and got approval for my IR-. They told me that I will get my passport in 5-10 days. So, far my CEAC status is still stuck at "Ready" for interview after 15 days, I am suspecting that they might take more time to process my visa. 

Now, I want to travel to some other country and I need my passport for it. I am scheduled to leave by 1 August 2019. Now my question is that can i request my embassy to either expedite my process or at least return my passport as i need it for travelling. If yes, then what will be the process and how can it impact my visa processing.

You can change your interview consulate at the later stage also. You will only have to prove that you are legally living in the country where you want to move your case. 

I moved my case to another country at NVC stage and it took around two weeks..
