Got my green card in the mail yesterday! But I didn't know it because someone didn't tell me! My brother is living with us and got the mail yesterday. I called my husband yesterday to see if there was any mail for me and he said there wasn't! I was cleaning the apartment today and found a letter to me that was unopened and turns out it was my green card. Good thing I was cleaning! Hope everyone that's still waiting gets some news soon!

Just got an email yesterday saying that my card production was ordered!! Yay no medical! After so many years of waiting to file I finally have my green card! Next step Naturalization! Good luck to you guys that are still waiting!

Well I had my interview yesterday in San Jose. We arrived 1hr 30 mins early because we live about 2 hours away from the office and didn't want to get lost or stuck in traffic. We saw the IO at about 10:30 am and we were only in there for about 10 mins. He had us sworn in, then he asked us for our photo ID, passports and then he asked my husband his full name, birth date and address. He also asked me the same questions. Then he asked to see our marriage license, which I showed to him, he had never seen one like it before because it's from GA not CA. He asked us if we were married in 2005 (he seemed amazed, haha) and asked us who attended the wedding (I had our photo album but I didn't even show him the pictures). He also asked me some questions from the paperwork about being associated/affiliated with political organizations etc. He asked me when the last time I left the country was (March 2005). He then asked us for any proof of joint assests and taxes filed and such, so I showed him our bank statement, our rental agreement, our two car loans, and our taxes etc. He left to photo copy our IDs, the bank statement, the taxes and our rental agreement. He didn't care about the other stuff. Then he gave me a letter saying that I was approved but that he had to review our case later that day and go and approve it on the computer unless they needed additional information. If they don't need additional stuff then they will send me my green card. I'm kind of nervous though because my application hasn't been updated online. So we will see if I get anything in the mail. I don't know what else they would want except maybe a medical because mine was done in April 2007. We'll see. My medical information hasn't changed since I did it. Unless I somehow while being here in the US for the past 8 years contracted something, the medical thing in my opinion is ridiculous, especially for people who have been in the US for awhile.

Hang in there guys it should be coming! If you look at the timelines for your local offices they are still in Oct/ Nov. whichs means that as of July 15th they were working on those dates. So I say you should hear from them in less then 2 months. For some reason all the Local offices on the West coast seem to be taking forever to process cases.

finally finally received the interview invite today.

FINALLY!!!

Congrats on finally getting yours!! Lucky you your interview is 9 days before mine!

Congrats to Rambaldi, maelim and ssrose18 for getting approved!!! :dance:

Blues fairy, congrats on getting your interview notice...hope i get mine in the mail soon!

Thanks but no approvals yet, just the interview notice! But thanks for the early congrats

I've got some exciting news!!! I got my interview notice in the mail today!!! Finally. We are scheduled to have our interview on August 29th at 11am in San Jose. That week is going to be a busy one for me! I have to take my PCAT on August 23rd and I start my last semester of University on the 25th. So glad I finally got it though because hubby has to leave for Texas at the end of September because he's finishing some training for the Army. Hope this week is a good week for everyone who is waiting!

There are a few of us left.

Tic toc tic toc...

There have to be something going on with the applicantions from California, I notice a few of the applications are in hold, Spirit Alight from a K-1, G&A has a K-3 visa and ssrose18 has a K-1 and of course my husband has a K-3 visa waiting for AOS, in my husband's personal case, he had not been touched since biometrics, and this was five months ago.

I'm happy for the ones who are done waiting, but come on, it's like making a long line and seeing people cutting you in the line. Does it make any sense?

Ana

I'm actually on an F-1 and waiting for an interview for my local office which is in San Jose, CA. But yes it is like people cutting you in line but sometimes they can't help it because they are being asked to cut you in line, which still makes you mad, but not at the person who cut you but the person who told them to cut.

Still no interview notice. I wonder what could be taking so long...

I will be checking back hopefully later tonight and if not then tomorrow morning definately.

Well not tonight. Hopefully tomorrow, and I don't have to work tomorrow so hopefully! But I did get my driver's license in the mail today (my other one expired), the DMV thought it would take months because they supposedly had to check up with USCIS to make sure that I was indeed in the process of getting a green card. So yay for getting my license, boo for no interview notice yet.

ssrose18 I think today is your day hopefully you will hear something.

In fact I hope a lot of people hear good news today, I will keep my fingers crossed for everyone.

Thanks Leafgal! I'll let you know tonight if I do or not. I'm working until 3pm so I have another 8 hours until I get the mail.

I also received the letter for our interview. It is scheduled on July 23rd.

I'm hoping since you two that got your interview notice are in CA also that I will get mine soon! Keeping my fingers crossed!

Is there anyone still with the NOA around mine.. who is still waiting

Is there something I can do to bring life to my case? a letter? a phone call???????????//

Yep there are a couple of us!

question: my case-status says that my file is at the national benefit center. (since.....04/13).

but when i look at the processing times for the national benefit center, there is no informationa for I-485.

are there any other filers whose papers are at the nationalal benefit center?

Yep mine are. Once you get your interview notice they are supposed to forward your paperwork to your local office. So go check your local offices processing times.

ours is a marriage based K-3 visa AOS. I was thinking it would be processed faster than others.......... guess i was wrong. :crying:

i am seeing people who filed in march getting greencards. Not fair

I see that you are from CA too. I think maybe cases in CA are going a lot slower, but that's just a guess.

What order do the uscis process cases?

I have one of the earliest NOA from our FEB batch but have heard nothing. NO TRANSFER AND NO INTERVIEW.

I am happy for people who are done with this part........cause I don't wish immigration process on anyone.....

I wouldn't be too worried. I have the same NOA1 date as you and I still haven't heard anything either.

Again congrats to those who have finished this part of their journey.

I have not had any touches on my AOS I-485 since it got transfered to CSC on March 12, 2008.

I called USCIS and after pressing many buttons I talked to a human being live.

Unfortunately all she had to tell me is that CSC is processing files from September 8, 2006!!!

I am going to worry now....for a bit.

And then I will let it go.

What else can I do...

And if you look at USCIS website that is the exact same date that they give. So I don't know if the offices are updating the sites or what but it seems that a lot of the offices are further behind then they should be. Some people get their case processed even though the local offices say that they are behind the date of the application. Doesn't make sense but I guess all we can do is wait.

FINALLY received EAD, it took over a month, This is BS, I thought they processed these in the order that they received them, Our AOS has not been touched since March 18.

I just notice our NOA1 says that our I485 AOS is at the NATIONAL BENEFITS CENTER.

I check the "Processing Dates for Applications and Petitions" at the National Benefits

center, and It doesn't show the I485 AOS as being processed there.

Does anybody know if they process I485's at the NBC?

I am worried that my application is sitting at the NBC and not being processed, this would not be the

first time this has happened to me. My I-129f, was sent to El Paso by mistake and it took 3 months to

get that straightened out.

Thanks

Pat

Mine is at the NBC too and hasn't been touched since February 7th. I don't think that they process the I-485 I think your local office does. So find out which office is your local office and check their date for I-485. For example my local office is San Jose, CA. Right now they are on October 23rd for I-485 so I have to wait until they get to my date before mine is transferred there and I get an interview. I'm not 100% sure on this so don't quote me on it. But that's what I understand from what I have read. If I am wrong someone can correct me.

OUR aos HAS NOT been touched since 3/27. there is no news on the transfer or an interview..........I was hoping to hear something good from their end by now... my NOA1 is FEB 5th.. :crying:

I'm right there with you. No interview, no transfer and no touch since my NOA1 on Feb 4th (they touched my AOS and I-130 last on the 7th of Feb). I think it's the local offices that are being slow. At least they didn't schedule me for an interview this month since I just finished my finals for the semester and am going to visit my family in Pennsylvania.

for what I know , as soon you get your EAD, you have to go back to SS# to change your status...my advice is go back there and show your EAD card

That advice is incorrect. They won`t change the card wording until she gets her green card.

Uh oh..lol..mass confusion setting in Do I HAVE to go down to the SS office yet?**smacks self in head** I would hate to go apply for a job and find out I have to have my status updated first(we all know how slow the gov't can be) but I would HATE HATE to go sit there for 3 hours to be told theres nothing to be done yet...

S

Like you I already had my SSN and it said the same thing. I didn't bother to go to the SSA and I have a job. So I don't think you need to go because it would probably be a waste of time because you aren't going to be filling out any forms and they won't give you a new card.

For any correction/updates, please let me know.

Don't forget to update your timelines everyone!

She had hers expedited

Never thought that AOS can be expedited.. Congratulations on your AOS approval..

and my file is in the garbage!!!!!!

why is only one person working there?!

I think my file is in the garbage can with yours Liz...

Mine too..

You know what would be really great if you had time to do it? If you could put everyones Local Office on the timeline. It would be interesting to see who gets theres approved and where they had their local office.

I have not gotten a touch today... Aside from JaEnglishgirl... did anyone else? second stage? Leafgal? darkhorse? sweet pink?

no touches for wednesday and today (thursday)

we have the same touches sweet pink..after touched on May 13th then no touch..after all that tickle and nothing??? ..

Hey I just looked at your timeline and noticed you are LDS, so am I! We were married in Atlanta, GA temple.

I wish I knew what was going on with my application! I haven't had a touch on my AOS or I-130 since it was sent in, I do have my AP and EAD so that's good. I want them to send me an interview notice!! People who filed way after me in March are already getting approved!

I'm just curious to see who else has San Jose as their local office and are waiting for an interview or a transfer. Thanks!

My NOA is the earliest for the FEB filers......and there is no news on my AOS. So i hope they clear this backlog soon. My application has not been touched since 3-27.

I'm in the same boat as you. No touches on I-485 or I-130 since they sent the notices on 02/04. And my last touches were in March for my EAD and AP which I already received. Where is your local office?
