Maybe some system update then

What did the update say?

Nothing just a last update date two months ago

Any idea why a case could be updated on CEAC almost 2 years after receiving my immigration visa?

A friend asked me to check if the website worked because she was getting an error, I was surprised to see that my case was updated 2 months ago....I'm in the US almost 2 years now with a 10 year GC

You planning on staying in NY, or is moving an option?

 

I already left NY 10 months ago, but I still visit every couple of months

I went to a restaurant in LIC recently.  Guy at the door told me I need a vax card to eat inside, but I could go inside and order to go if I wanted.  So I said I'd just get it to go.  Ordered my food, walked over and sat down and ate.  

They don't care, because they want money to stay in business.  As it SHOULD be.

Most let you eat inside and don't even ask (at least the places ive been to in Brooklyn and Manhattan) you're right they need the money, most places are half empty anyway...

There's actually a third option... NOT getting the jab, and going on with their lives just fine and dandy.

 

And I'll add to @brendaaa story with my own anecdotal data... my family knows five people who have died after getting vaccinated.  One was late 40's, and otherwise healthy.  Got the first jab of Sinovac, started having bleeding issues that night, and died within three days.  The others, I think they died after the second jab, but cannot actually remember all the details.

 

Death and adverse reactions are NOT imaginary my friend.  Just because you don't want to believe it does not render the cases untrue.

That's what I'm doing, Not getting the vaccine and my life is normal.

In NYC by the way,  places just have the sign on the door that says you need to be vaccinated to enter, but in a lot of places nobody actually checks or cares about your vaccine status, I even asked and they told me they don't care, the only places that actually check are gyms and museums.  

Most people are fine, but you can't just ignore and automatically call everyone who got hurt a liar and an anti-vaxxer, I am far from an anti-vaxxer.

Uh, no you don't.

 

They got injured? That's the best you can come up with? The anti-vax "vaccine injury" lie? 2.97 billion people got vaccinated worldwide, but somehow you know four whole people who got "injured"? That's not even a lot, even if it was true. Also, doctors? What did these imaginary doctors have an actual doctorate in?

 

Not that any of this matters because it's about the vaccine requirement that's now actually in place. Even if it causes imaginary vaccine injuries like people stubbing their toes and then blaming it on the COVID shot. People can either get the shot or take a trip elsewhere.

Why you so mad? and accusing me of lying? I simply said what I know about people I personally know, who are you to call me a liar?

Yes I do know 4 people! my friend (40), my friend's dad (65) , my dad's girlfriend (56) and my aunt (63).

Are you talking about the smallpox vaccine or any of the other vaccines you're required to get to participate in society?

Or specifically the COVID vaccine, which has proven to actually work right now and has shown no actual signs of danger, whereas being unvaccinated significantly heightens your risk of ending up on a ventilator, overcrowding hospitals and dying a horribly painful and lonely death? I honestly can't wait to get my booster in the next few weeks. I'm also super excited to finally see my family again, who can now travel here while I wait for my travel authorization to get through the stupid system.

EDIT: In before "but why do you need booster shots if it works so well".
 

All of these need a series of 3-4 shots within 18 months:

Hepatitis B (3 shots)

Rotavirus (3 shots)

Diphtheria, tetanus, and acellular pertussis (DTaP) (4 shots before 18 months, then a shot every 4 years)

Haemophilus influenzae type b (3 shots)

Pneumococcal conjugate (4 shots)

Polio (4 shots)

Hepatitis A (2 shots within a year)

Human Papillomavirus (3 shots)

You say it's safe and there is no danger but I personally know 4 people who got the vaccine months ago in Israel, that got injured and their world turned upside down, doctors admitted this was caused by the vaccine. one is 40 years old who is now paralyzed after the booster shot.

See, you are being purely judgemental. It could also be him using his USC status to lure a girl 20yrs younger than him for marriage, or it could be a genuine relationship, but you have to go after that girl.

And people over here are saying we are being very judgemental toward you.

 

 

Actually yeah you are right, he is using his USC status and she is using him, to me it's obvious because I know him, moved form asian dating sites to Colombian, part of why our marriage failed was because he was texting Asian girls on an Asian dating site at night. So forgive me for not believing this is real. Do you think it looks real? will the USCIS? maybe the bar should be higher then.

I wonder how would you know if the girl is trying to use him? You've been talking to that girl?

 

In any way, his marriage and petition to the new girl won't affect ur GC.

Oh come on you guys! I was in a relationship with my husband for many years before we got married and marriage and covid killed our relationship.

He knows this girl from the internet for 2 months, she is 20 years younger than him, already calls her gf and saying he is getting married so he can bring her here because she has no job and will never get a visitor visa , to me it's obvious that she is using him and that he is stupid and blind. I don't care about his relationship I just don't want his idiotic decisions hurting me.  

Why I still communicate with him? that's a good question, he keeps texting me for some reason.  

The thing I am worried about is the fact that he wants to lie and say that he knows her for a long time (while we were married) so they can say this is a long relationship. 

So my relationship with my husband didn't work and we got a divorce, I received my GC about a year and a a half ago,  it's been a few months since the divorce was finalized and now he has a new girlfriend that lives in Colombia, they met online.

He want's to marry her and bring her here, the girl is obviously trying to use him to get a green card but he can't see it, she has no internet or running water in her house, she lives in some poor rural area, has no job, and basically no life there.

He is saying he will be telling that he met her while we were still married and that I used him to get a GC, this is obviously not true, but he want's to throw me under the bus to get what he wants.

Can this hurt me? I have a 10 year GC.

What happens if they suspect that their marriage is fake, will this come haunting me?

Israel is well ahead in vaccination and not sure why you would not be able to leave.

 

Any timelines about biometrics would be pure speculation.

I am not planing on getting the vaccine and don't want them to force me to do it, right now they say that only vaccinated people will be able to fly

I need to go back to my country for about a month, my country is Israel and is currently acting like a prison for it's own citizens, very difficult to get out of the country due to covid.

I am afraid that if I go there I might be stuck there for a long time.

I want to get a reentry permit, does anyone tried to apply for one and got a biometrics appointment? how long does this take now?

Seems like a bad start for your green card

You are at risk of losing it

The more time you spend outside of the usa 

 

U need to think whats more important and make a decsision 

 

But having a green card for only 4 moonths and be outside of the usa for such a long time plus a divorce makes your case very hard

 

What case? I have a 10 year green card, this is why I asked if I need a reentry permit

You need a Reentry  permit if you plan on spending 12 continuous months outside of the US. US citizens are the only ones every guarantees entry to the US and you need to make sure you are spending more time in the US then out.

Unfortunately these Are things that we have to deal with by immigrating to the US- you may not always be Able to be There for your father But you chose to immigrate to the US for your spouse.

For my spouse yes but unfortunately we are probably getting a divorce but I still want to keep my GC (I caught my husband having an online relationship with an asian girl , this is also one of the reasons I left)

I came to the US 4 months ago and received my GC, left last week returned to my home country for 3 months, then I will go back to the US but I might have to return to my county again a few months later for 2-3 months again, I will be traveling back and forth quite a lot since my dad is alone in my home country. will I need a reentry permit even tho I won't be staying out of the US for more than one year?

I entered on feb 15, SSN card came 10 days later and yesterdays I received my GC

I finally received my GC today! 

Here is the timeline:

December 2: Paid Fee

February 15: POE (Newark , delayed entry for 2 years to pass)   

February 24: SSN came in the mail

April 2: Card is being produced

April 10: Card is being produced (again?)

April 14: Card was mailed to me

April 15: Card was picked up by USPS (tracking number was provided)

April 16: Card arrived!

This nightmare is finally over!

For anyone who is thinking about changing the address before the card arrives, I changed my address on April 3rd, hoping this would make the card arrive at our new apartment, but I was okay with the card arriving at my husbands parents house, but since they live pretty far away I took a chance and changed the address knowing this might not work. I chatted the next day with a representative via Ask Emma and verified the address because I saw it was changed on my profile but the apartment number was missing, the representative said that he can see the apartment number and everything is okay.  I had a bad feeling and submitted the AR-11 form again. the next day the apartment number disappeared from my profile again. so I verified again with a representative and  they again said everything was okay.

Fast forward to today, I got a text message from USPS saying that the envelope was delivered, I went downstairs and the doorman said he can't find the envelope, it was also not in the mailbox. 

10 minutes later he called me and said he found the envelope and it had a wrong apartment number on it, it was my husbands parents apartment number (the old address) and not ours.

So if you want to change the address and you are living in an apartment, you should know that there's a glitch that they don't change the apartment number (if you see the apt number vanish from your profile this means they messed up and make sure to contact USCIS to verify) but they do change the address very fast, almost immediately, I guess it's done automatically nowadays.   

So I have an update, on April 10 the status changed again to card is being produced, I don't know why they "Produced" it twice, Today I finally got an update that the card was mailed to me. now I am waiting. No tracking number yet.

Mine is still stuck but they keep changing the date on my.uscis.gov, I wonder what this means....so annoying

Congratulations that was quick. I came across to your profile since our family originally booked a flight that EWR is the POE and I had the same case asking to convert CR to IR since entry is pass 2 years after marriage. 

Thank. you! How was your experience at EWR?
