I-751 Timeline List

I finally received a email from USCIS website below is the information

Application Type: CRI89 , PETITION TO REMOVE CONDITIONS OF PERMANENT RESIDENT STATUS RECEIVED

Current Status: Card mailed to applicant.

On December 29, 2008, we mailed the new card directly to the address we have on file. You should receive your new card within 30 days. If you do not, or if you move before you get it, call customer service.

hopefully my ordeal for GC is over..
Now starts Citizenship process. I waited for my GC to come through to file Citizenship

Hi all,
so after filing my I-751 last January, I finally got the long awaited envelope from USCIS waiting for me day after Thanksgiving. I was so excited. But, instead of my 10 year green card they send us a Request for Evidence letter stating that they needed more proof that the marriage is legitimate and entered in good faith. We had previously sent a joint lease, joint tax returns, joint bank accounts, joint mail, and pictures of the wedding. This time I sent new tax returns, current bank records, benefit records from our jobs, bunch of photos, letters, travel documents, etc. I put it all in a big blue binder with a huge picture of us on the cover. Then we waited.

For the holidays, we traveled to Europe and I had my expired green card and a extension letter with me. Surprise, Surprise, coming back to the States I got escorted in the back to meet with an Immigration Officer. Why? Because the first officer and his superviser claimed that my letter had expired! The letter was dated December 16, 2007. The NOA Receipt Date was January 18, 2008 and the letter stated that my green card had been extended for one year from when it expired (March 2008). So obviously I though I was good. But no, there I was sitting in the interview room where I was asked all kinds of questions about my studies etc. Finally they READ the letter and said I was good to go. I was so relieved.

And then a couple of days later I got an email stating that the card was in production. :)

So my advice is: Do send A LOT of current documentation and photos with your I-751. Also, make sure your travel documents are in good order and get your stamp if need to be before travelling with an expired card.

Thanks to all for your interest and support! God bless you all and let's hope 2009 will be a happy one for all of you and you will all be approved soon.

I just came back from India on sunday with a stamp and they sent me to the 2ndry inspection as they said that the stamp was of june 08 to june 09 and they need to check why its taking so long, I guess the imm officer at the JFK gates dont even know anything about VSC. it took them an hour but he stamped my custom sheet.

Whew No more no more issues... lol... so happpy...... !!!!

I dont think im going to apply for citizenship now as I will have to give up my indian citizenship.. well will think about the pro and cons about us citizenship later....

thank you guys for this vsc list it really helped me in the past 11 months wait .

Good luck to everyone else who are waiting.... remember lord Buddha " the fruits of patience are always sweet"
 
Approval time?

Those of you who got approved: around what time of the day did you receive your approval emails? In the morning or evening? just curious.
