Hi,
I got approval today for me and my wife.

PD Jan 2003
140/485 Filed Oct 2003 at NSC. It's been there ever since.
RFE (birth certificate) replied Jan 2005
Did AC-21 to switch jobs 3 times, but did NOT inform USCIS at all

-------
Current Status: Notice mailed welcoming the new permanent resident.

On June 18, 2007, we mailed you a notice that we had registered this customer's new permanent resident status. Please follow any instructions on the notice. Your new permanent resident card should be mailed within 60 days following this registration or after you complete any ADIT processing referred to in the welcome notice, whichever is later.
-------

A few questions.

1) What is ADIT processing?

2) What are the next steps? I get the card usually in 2-3 months? Is there any stamping on the passport that needs to happen? This means there won't be any more local interview, right?

3) If i need to travel in the next few months, I need to go and get a (temporary) GC stamp my passport, right?

4) 2 days ago I received a Finger Print notice (4th I guess - last one was around june 2006). Today morning I just mailed it back to 'reschedule it to a saturday', since I am out of town for work. Do they need fingerprints anymore, now that it is approved?

5) I am guessing my wife'll also receive Finger print notice today or tomorrow. Does she need to appear for it?


It feels great, guys. Thanks for all your help and support.

A few questions.

1) What is ADIT processing?
ADIT - Alien Documentation, Identification and Telecommunication. You may be instructed to bring photo, passport, and EAD card to local INS office for ADIT processing. But, this is common status message and may not show up in the approval letter.

2) What are the next steps? I get the card usually in 2-3 months? Is there any stamping on the passport that needs to happen? This means there won't be any more local interview, right?
You will get your "Card production ordered" email any day and the physical card within 10 days.

3) If i need to travel in the next few months, I need to go and get a (temporary) GC stamp my passport, right?
Yes. InfoPass is your friend.

4) 2 days ago I received a Finger Print notice (4th I guess - last one was around june 2006). Today morning I just mailed it back to 'reschedule it to a saturday', since I am out of town for work. Do they need fingerprints anymore, now that it is approved?
You can ignore this notice or ask your attorney to reply to that accordingly.

5) I am guessing my wife'll also receive Finger print notice today or tomorrow. Does she need to appear for it?
Same as (4).


It feels great, guys. Thanks for all your help and support.
 
confusedalien.
I got the same message as you. Congrats and enjoy. Don't read too much into this message. Approved means approved. Rest of the message is bullshit.
We have become so paranoid waiting that we dont even believe the actual approval notice and start worrying about the fine details mentioned in it. Chill out and enjoy rest of your day.
 
Just wanted to update you all that I received the cards by mail last saturday.

Approval email - 18th
Card production ordered email - 19th
Approval notice by postal mail - 22nd
Green Card reached my home -23rd

Best of luck to all of you who are waiting.
 
congratulations..

confusedalien,

You are no longer "confused" now :-)
