AP basically means an FBI world class name check against the database, that means she's already approved pending that her past is clear of any crimes. tis is a random check, there is nothing you can do to speed this process but sit tight and wait unfortunately especially that it could take a few months. Good luck!

My father has had his interview 08/12. Everything went well but was told need additional processing. Received following e-mail from consulate today:

"Dear Sir,

Your father’s case is still pending administrative processing and we cannot tell you exactly how much time the processing will require. We will contact him as soon as we can continue with his case.

Regards,

Immigration Visa Unit

Casablanca, Morocco"

Any help or advice is greatly appreciated.

how do i find out if his application is under AP or was send for an fbi name check? would they have given him a form? he told me he did not get any forms at all, he was just told it would take some time. Please help!

Thank you for your reply!

No they did not keep his passport nor did they give him any forms/letters, they said file look good and had him sign and then requested the 2 forms be translated.

Hello everyone,

My father has had his interview today, according to him everything went well but they asked him to bring translations of his marriage certificate and police records again. When my father asked the gentelman if he could return those to him today he replied no just get them translated and wait for a call back from the consulate and that it will take some time. Anyone with similar situation please tell me what does that mean and how long it would take before they call him back. Thank you very much!

I have been here since 1998, have been a US citizen since 2003 and my mom is also a green card holder. They did not tell him to leave them at the window, they said get them translated and wait for us to call u before you bring them back in. Thank you for your reply.

Moroccan post office is really not very dependable/honest, stuff gets lost/stollen all the time the loss rate is 50/50 and in your case it was 100%. Use DHL like you said or Registered mail, they do not mess with that. Good luck

I have an advice for you LEAVE HIM ALONE and GET OVER IT!!!!!

yeah MDResident thanks for posting that OUR POINT IS that that press statement cameout on the 29th of MAY.....ONE MONTH after most of us got approved and had been waiting already....point being something like this takesplanning in advance and could have warned us! the office i have to go to to get my stamp is 2 hrs away by the mexican border and me and DH only have one car besides if you wanna be a party pooper go play in traffic

ok....oh and I, with honor, accept the position as chief investigator. thank you *bows*

Please do not take this personal and be civil about it. All I am saying is that you give these guys a break, everybody knows about the USCIS administration which has a real bad reputation despite the fact that we are paying them billions in fees so when they make a move to upgrade their systems/offices to make things better let's be patient and wait especially in our cases where we have already been approved and we're legal, it's not like your card is late a couple of weeks you will die or something. And, let's be honest, the approval letters state 60 days to get the card right? do why would someone call the congressman and complain after 30 days, I mean we can reserve congressman for more important issues or for people who really need their help ie a person whose spouse is stuck in some other country for years and USCIS is not moving fast on the case....etc...just a thought, of course we all want things to be better but sometimes we just got to take a step back and see if the stress is really worth this....

What I do not understand is why you guys/gals are making a big deal about some plastic, you got your approval letters, you have the option of having your passports stamped for 1 year (Same as GC), these people are renovating/upgrading their facilities, how do you expect them to work if everyone keeps calling them everyday to inquire about something redundant? and come on now someone actually mentioned calling the congressman about this? Do you think they do not have more important stuff to do than worry about you not getting your cards within 30 days? I would not dare bother the USCIS or my congressman over this, I got my approval and that'all that matters to me, I made an infopass app. just to get my passport stamped in case I need to travel on an emer. Lighten up people!!!!

Uh, yeah... you make a good point, but only if they had announced that the card production would actually be halted during this time so people would know they need to use an alternate method of showing that they are valid to work or continue working. Also... the people who run the machines are very unlikely to be the ones working on the renovation stuff, we hire illegal mexican workers to do carpentry and stuff like that (it's not obvious to me what they are renovating really, but I assume if they expected delays it involves construction or some multi-ton machinery of some sort).

Permanent Resident Card Production Delays

USCIS is announcing that applicants may experience up to an eight week delay in the delivery of their permanent resident card while we are in the process of upgrading our card production equipment. USCIS Field Offices will be issuing temporary evidence of permanent residence in the form of an I-551 stamp to applicants approved for permanent residence at the time of their interview. You will need to take your passport to your appointment. If you do not have a passport, you must bring a passport style photo and government issued photo identification to receive temporary evidence of permanent residence.

If the application is approved subsequent to your interview or by a Service Center or the National Benefit Center, the applicant should bring the above documents to an INFOPASS appointment to be issued temporary evidence of permanent residence in the form of an I-551 stamp.

Approved!!!! received letter from local office today, decision date 05/27/09, letter reads:

"Congratulations! your request for the removal of the conditional basis of your permanent resident status has been approved. You are deemed to be a lawful permanent resident of the United States.....

You should receive a new permanent resident card within 60 days...."

Good luck everybody else. I'll let you know when the actual card arrives, and before I forget there was no online update on my case from USCIS. Bye

I just got mine done in MD, immigration law/docs...etc is Federal so they can not tell you no. I had to go through hell though because the employees are not trained at all and they do not know what they are talking about. Even their supervisor refused it and started telling me that she has "been working here for 18 years" and you need this and that. I asked her to speak to a manager, she took my extention and 2 proof of address forms to him and came back, she then took my picture and do the rest of the stuff without saying a word!!!! stupid people wasted 2 hours of my time on some stupid untrained employees, please ask for a manager, you're legal, you have a letter from the federal gov. proving that and you're entitled to a driver's licence. Good luck.

Congrats Everyone Hopefully the rest of us September 08 filers will be done soon too! Let's see what this week brings in...

They will not talk to you, this is USCIS not the Divorce court, sorry you sound hurt but you will be just wasting your time and adding insult to the injury, like people said before me "get over it".

I guess he does not care anymore either heh... (just kidding, he probably did by now)

Sooooo quite in here lately, August and September 08 files should be hearing some good news soon....

Same here please. I am just hopefull that at least now CSC is approving 09/08 apps. Looks like it's taking anytime between 240 to 275 days for the entire process. Good luck everyone.
