Card production ordered

Got an email today that card production has been ordered and I should receive it in 30 days. PD current as of September 1, 2009. But processing time by the service center does not reflect this. How long does it usually take to get the card from the date of email? Thanks.

Timing of emails

Hi there,

What time do these approval emails come out? I see practically everyone posting approval messages either late in the night or early morning. I've seen a LUD on my case but no approvals as yet..

Thanks in advance.

Congratulations! all you guys for your good news!,

My understanding is -- those of us who got our FP done more than one year ago (or in 2007), then first we aould be expecting another FP before any approval, Guru guys....am I correct...?

Thanks in advance.

Hi anash,
Can you tell when was your PD and I485 filing date....?

Thanks!

Thanks guys for the update on email timing. Any clue if the online system only refreshes or shows updates late in the night or is supposed to reflect the change the moment one gets approved?

I have got the CPO emails for our pending cases on 9/3/2009 at 5.00 PM. No other emails for Approval or Welcome notices. I did open a SR on 9/1/2009 and not sure if that helped for someone to pick up the case file to stamp for approval. Good luck to everyone who is waiting.

Maybe some good news

Guys

I believe if you have seen a soft LUD on your I-485 application after Sept 1, chances are that the I-485 application was approved. Ofcourse, this assumes that your priority date was current.
My case details are: PD June 04, I-485 RD aug 07, TSC, India, EB2, no rfe.
I have not seen a change in status online but when I called the customer service, I was told the application was approved on Sept 1 and the letter was mailed out. I have not received the letter or the email as yet. My lawyer concurred with my reasoning and conclusion.

So let's keep our fingers crossed.

I received the approval notice a week back. However, the online status continues to show that the case is pending. Last week I had called again to check the status of card production and I was told that it had not started.

My lawyer said to expect the card to arrive before the end of the month.
