I went for CP and had my GC stamped in the passport on 01/23/03. My service center is NSC till I-140 approval. How do I track the GC?

My & My wife's 485 were approved in July 2002. My wife's card was issued in Dec 2002. I am still waiting.

I called IIO today. She gave me usual stupid reply that "May be your wife was lucky. It is taking 12-18 months after 485 approval to issue the card"

I thought I was all done with IIO bullshit, but apparantly there still more I have to face.

Anybody talked to IIO about plastic cards? What kind of responses you are getting?

My PP was stamped last month. Where can I track the status of my greencard online ?

Check the INS online tracking link at www.ins.gov. You should have the 13 character receipt number. It is the same as your I-485 approval notice number.

**sevak2** · 7th February 2003, 03:14 PM

All I have is the A# on my pp. Now where can I get the 13 character number to track my greencard ?

**achiever1** · 18th February 2003, 05:08 PM

Message changed to "Application processing is completed and new card is ordered" on Feb 10th.

Just called NSC. IIO told me that card is not mailed yet. I should get it in 2-4 weeks.

Passport stamped in July 2002.

Its your WAC #. Use the WAC # to check the status. Mine still says "Processing completed ......"

I hate to sound stupid, but what is a WAC #.

**pdwaiter** · 27th February 2003, 08:25 PM

Hi nachos/achiever1
Is there a phone number listed on the envelope that we can call and get the exact status on the card printing. My card is ordered on 2/12. didn't get it yet. I'll be moving to a new apt on march 1st. If I don't get it by tomorrow 2/28, it will go back to INS. And I'm not sure they don't forward it to new address. Just want to get the exact status like when exactly they mailed it.

OOPs!! No, its my mistake. Sorry. I posted in the wrong thread. Basically, what I meant was the I-485 application number. I am in CSC, so our numbers start with WAC.

My apologies.

**dks00** · 12th March 2003, 05:07 PM

What's a Welcome Letter ??

**fleure** · 24th March 2003, 02:22 PM

Which center was your passport stamped at?
I also would like to know what a welcome letter is.

I haven't heard other people mention it. Perhaps it is a new process of BCIS?

**sevak2** · 1st April 2003, 01:11 AM

A welcome letter is just a letter that is generally sent prior to the greencard. It basically acknowledges that you have legally migrated and that your greencard is in process.

My POE was JFK.

**Sleepless_OR** · 7th May 2003, 10:47 PM

Guys:

What is the card ordered date that you mention? Is it the notice date of the welcome letter that you received??

I received a letter a few days ago from NSC that was a welcome letter and says that my card will be received in 3 weeks. (ND 4/26/03)
I was wondering if it was the same thing. Please enlighten.

**colseb444** · 8th May 2003, 05:56 PM

When the card is ordered the message will change as
--

On April 28, 2003, after approving your application, we ordered you a new card. Your card will be mailed to you as soon as it is ready.
--

This date is the card ordered date.

**Zingzang** · 16th May 2003, 05:42 PM

2 ways to know the date

1) Thru INS web site "case status on line"
2) Thru by calling the service center and using the autuomated system using receipt number after the passport is stamped.
