I wanted to give an update on this because I couldn't find a lot of posts about it. I applied and was granted TSA Precheck with my extension letter! It took the full 60 days that they said for processing but no extra questions were asked, all they needed was my expired green card.

Wellp, a couple of minutes after I posted this updated my case status changed to "Card is being produced" !!!! 

And today my EAD case status switched to "Case closed because benefit received by other means" meaning my green card was approved!

Hope you have an answer soon! My status only changed to approved one day after the interview. I have not seen anything with “card being produced” so I keep checking my mailbox everyday just in case lol. It seems like the suspense never ends with USCIS. 

My cases status changed to card is being produced a couple minutes after I posted that update! They are very impredictable

Hi all,

Question on documentation for the interview. The interview letter requests "all documentation establishing your eligibility for lawful permanent resident status - this includes proof of status as an asylee, refugee, or a fiance nonimmigrant"

 

What are they looking for here? The I-94 and K1 visa stamp in the passport? What did others use to meet this requirement?

 

Same for "all travel documents used to enter the US." Would this just be the K1?

That's what I took to the interview, the I-94, K1 visa stamp, entry stamp and passport. They didn't ask to see it but that sounds good enough to meet that requirement to me!

Hey, did you get any update saying your finger print has been taken? 

 

After my biometrics yesterday my case status changed to "Case is being actively reviewed."

 

This might mean that things are pretty close for me at this point. 

I didn't. All I got was "case is being actively reviewed"

Congratulations, that was speedy!! 🥳  Did you request for an expedite at any point for the case to move so smoothly? 

Thank you, we were surprised as well! I did not request any expedites

Trust me no sarcasm intended when I said you are a genius. I said that because MOST of us here are only following the my case status on USCIS, and not the DHS website. so thanks to you, now I know I can spread the word to signup on the DHS website to get the biometric status. And like I said before, DHS and UsCIS are the same, but the website you are on is the newer version of the USCIS run by the DHS. 

Just want to clarify this seems it looks like no one has yet. This is a screenshot of the My USCIS website. Some cases, even if filed by paper, are treated like electronic cases. Once you file they send you back instructions on how to create a MyUscis account so that you can track or add new evidence to your case online. This is why you can see more detailed info on some cases and not others. I believe it's completely random. I know this because I filed for my AOS, AP and EAD by paper and my EAD was converted to an electronic case.

@carlovely Good morning, when did NVC send you “documentarily qualified”?  My spouse in DR received his on October 29, 2020 and it is an IR-1 spouse Visa and he still has not received his interview letter.  When is your interview?  Good luck and THANK YOU in advance for any information you could offer.

We were ready for an interview back in January of this year and we already had an interview scheduled in April. I think you still have some time to go because they have to get through all of the ones that were cancelled and then the ones that were ready before you. But its great news that they have at least started! 

Does anyone have any updates on the DR embassy? any different news from what they post? 

Hi everyone, 

I was doing my routine checks of US Travel Docs and the US Embassy site for any updates and I noticed that their "notices" were much shorter than usual. After reading I realized they finally got rid of their generic "we are unable to resume routine visa services at this time and are unable to provide a date to resume" statement. So obviously I freaked out a bit and went to check the visa bulletins and noticed that the K1 visas issued in the DR in September went up to a whopping 22 from the previous 3s and 4s and 0s!! Are we finally moving?? Is this it? I've sent an e-mail to our embassy for any updates and will update back when I hear from them.

Have any of you noticed anything similar as well? 

These are their current notices: 

Feeling optimistic!

Very true! An acknowledgment of any kind is better than nothing- I just hate to get my hopes up lol ❤️❤️

Right!! I feel the same. I've been stuck in this super negative thinking loop but I have to keep reminding myself that it's all worth it and that I have to start seeing at least a tiny bit of good in anything. I'm taking these news as "good... but could be better" if that makes sense, haahaha

But "high priority" seems subjective still.. what exactly is high priority?

I'm unsure as well, but at this point I am taking any news I can take. Honestly just the fact that they mentioned the K1 visa by its name at all makes me happy. I guess I'd rather have vague news about this specific visa than no news at all or vague news about ~maybe~ my visa like we had before.
