A final update from here, green card went for production on the 16th July and was received today - there was a bunch of news about slow downs in card production but it looks like 3 weeks is about what I had. 
 

best of luck to everyone else. 

How did you know that it went for production?  We are still waiting on my husbands green card. We interviewed on 22nd of July with verbal approval then but the case was officially approved as of July 27.

Congrats!!! Were you wearing masks? 😁😁😁

Yes the whole time. But she just went through our application and looked at some originals we brought with us.  There wasn't a ton of eye contact. 

Had our interview today. It took only a few minutes and we were approved. We were told we’d have the green card Within 1-2 weeks.

Congratulations, had your interview been cancelled previously? 

No it had not.  It always said waiting to be scheduled for an interview since mid Feb.

Thanks for sharing some of your updates! This might be a dumb question but why would he get a permanent green card instead of a conditional one after your 2 year anniversary? 

Not a stupid question...if you have been married more than 2 years, then a permanent green card issued that's good for 10 years.  If married less than 2 years, then a conditional green card is issued for 2 years and you must petition to remove the condition during the 90 days before it expires (which will cost more money to do).

I just checked again and just received “Case is ready to be scheduled for an interview”! I guess I’m a bit behind, haha.. that RFIE set me back a bit.

 

anyone know how long the average waiting times are for the actual interview?

Ours has been ready to be scheduled for an interview since Feb 10, 2020 - which was before the pandemic.  My husband's I-765 and I-131 were approved a month ago.  We are receiving his SS card in the mail today. I honestly wouldn't be upset if things were delayed enough that his card wasn't issued until after Nov 1, since that's after our 2 year anniversary and he would get a permanent green card instead of a conditional one.

I’m sure it’s on the way! Keep us updated when you all hear something, good luck to you all ❤️

My husband talked to the local SS office today and they looked it up and told him that his card was issued yesterday on 6/11, so we should receive it in the next week or so!!

Also, dumb question, but did you double check that the box for receiving a SSN was checked on the application? 

We used an attorney and we were told it was checked.

We actually received my husband’s in the mail today! 

When did he receive his EAD approval and delivery in the mail? My husband’s was approved on May 15th and delivered on May 20th. But still no SS card. 

I’ve been wondering the same.

INM says it will take 4 months?  Mary got her Meixcan green card in about 6 weeks.  But she had a permanent resident visa.

Yes. Several people have reported it taking months to get residency here in Mexico due to turnover in employees in the INM offices because of corruption. I will be applying for permanent resident visa as well. I have everything but my son’s Mexican passport and the appointment is a couple of weeks away.

If you are in an other office . . . who knows.

Thank you for the information. I’m assigned to the Mexico City office. However, I should probably look into filing the traditional way now. ☹️😭

You realize that DCF as resident of Mexico is going away?  

No when?

confused!

you are looking into permanent residency in Mexico and /or looking for his residency here?

 

if applying to mexico,  check with Mexico web page

for the US ,  many things you need to do

1   keep a US residency/ do not have to live in it but have it available to return to the US

2   the USC must meet 125% poverty level income to support total family members

3.  must file tax returns while you are in Mexico 

4.  get the US passport for your son

I’ve got my son’s US passport and CRBA.  We will all live with my parents and they will provide financial support initially while I’m looking for employment again. I don’t have any reason to file a tax return since I don’t have any income. 

But my initial question at hand is about items that can be used to prove residency in Mexico since I don’t have my permanent residency status yet? I want to do DCF from Mexico. 

I moved to Mexico in Dec 2018.  I had my son here in April 2019.  I will start the process for getting my permanent residency in Mexico soon, but I understand in Cancun there's a 4 month wait to get your card.  I'd like to start my husband's I-130 for his green card in June as that'll be 6 months since I moved here.  I have passport stamps for entry to Mexico and bank statements that show withdrawals from my checking & savings accounts here in Mexico, but that's all.  Our initial rental agreement was just in my husband's name, although the place we are currently living is in both names.  Utilities are generally in the landlords names here, so we don't have that proof.  I am not working either.  Any advice?
