Email of Approval notices

[RoaringBull]

One more to count ..

I have received the approval notices yesterday. In fact I have already received my plastic cards a week before.

[mike_inus]

I was already approved on Jan 27th. Received my approval notices in february, got passport stamped on Valentine's day and Received my plastic cards in march.

Today I got another set of emails from USCIS saying your case is approved and approval notices have been mailed...

Has anyone else received such emails...?

All-

I too got a similar emails.

Basically USCIS, mails two approvals notices one for applicant and another for attroney.

Due to a some technical issues with system, it generated approval notice for applicant but fail to generate for attorney.

Technical issues with system has been resolved.
System is re-generating a two approval notices for applicant and attorney.

Please check the dates on your second 485 approval notice.
It should match with your first approval notice otherwise it may create a problem in future when you will file for your citizenship.

That's exactly what my attorney told me today and that explains why so many people are affected.

As I know,when we are ready to apply for the citizenship in the future, the eligibility will depend on your starting residence date recorded on your card , not necessary on your I-485 approval date, am I right ?

Got approved Nov 2004, stamping done in Dec 2004, received the plastic card Jan 2005

Got 2 emails that my case approved on May 5, 2005 and today got the welcome letter, saying that my card will arrive in 3 weeks

I don't know what to do now

With no offence to already approved folks I would like to lodge my frustration on VSC for re-approving and re-re-approving already processed/approved cases.

I stongly believe the 'nut-heads' to assign the resources and time to review and approve pending cases rather than re-working on the old ones and create anxiety/tension for approved people.. What do you say friends?

TIA

[yeppo]

I agree though in all honesty and based on some other posts I doubt if they have any resources except the mailing department working on this. This seems to be an auto-generated thing sent out to cases between Nov 2004 and some date in April 05.

Rgds,

Does anyone of you receive another approval notice since your 2nd approval email notification ? Please keep us posted, thanks !

I received 5 emails not 4.

[parth_01945]

Guys, I think we are blowing it out of proportion. Because we are already circulated in there system. I understand we all had a tense time in past couple of year. But now we all have GC. We are all set. The only reason USCIS is sending this letter is to make sure people receive it.

That's my idea. I am not a lawyer. This is just my thought.

[rob71]

I got a courtesy copy today of my approval, no AD is specified. Already have my card since march!!

CRAZY

What to do?

[parth_01945]

Guys,
How long it takes to received the approval or welcome notice after the email?
I got email on 5/12.
Thanks

[PhillyPA485]

VSC issued a plastic GC to me, then I received Form I-797C Welcome Notice, which states that I should receive a new Permanent Resident Card with the next 3 weeks.

What should I do now?

[yeppo]

I got the new approval notice for spouse saying that card will be sent in 3 weeks. Incidentally this has a welcome notice too !!! Finally I feel welcome. The only worrying part (if any) is that the notice date is 11th May. As long as the new card (if sent) has the "correct resident" since date I am not going to worry.

Hi, I got the approval notice as well but the notice date is May 12, 2005. Since notice date is the date when the notice was issued which can never be back date to the day when originally it was issued.

Gurus please advise.

Thanks for the reply.

Can you explain "Indeed I finally just got my copies of the notices for SXXXXXX and his wife so I can send you my final legal advice letter."

Do I need to do anything or send a letter to USCIS with a copy of GC and approval notice??

[palaceofhyd]

my lawyer wanted to send me some documentation. He said just ignore these approvals.

Guys:

I got the approval emails of I485 for me and my spouse yesterday .... but nothing after that.

I have seen others getting "Approval" emails ... then immediately "Card Ordered" emails. When should I expect the subsequent emails and what should they typically be ?

thanks for your input.

[yeppo]

You will only get email for Approved. The letter notice may mention that Cards have been ordered, though I doubt seriously that cards will be sent again.

[parth_01945]

The approval notice is more valuable then the welcome notice obviously. Anyway My guess is this is just a formality since our status is already circulated in this system.

I don't think is should cause any problem. So enjoy your freedom...
