    odd letter from Immigration and Naturalization Service

    Now get this! I got another email from USCIS telling me I have been approved for a green card on September 05, 2006. What does that mean? 2 Green Cards? Maybe I'll start a collection? Maybe I'll keep one at home and carry the other one with me...as the welcome letter tells me...It's the law!

    odd letter from Immigration and Naturalization Service

    I phoned USCIS and was informed that since I now have my GC, the takes precedence over all preceeding documents and that I can scrap the other 2 letters. I guess I was in both the fortunate and unfortunate position of having had my 2nd letter reach me after my first interview and having both...

    odd letter from Immigration and Naturalization Service

    I just recieved both my GC and my welcome letter this morning in a backlog of mail waiting to be delivered due to Labor Day weekend. I'll call USCIS about the other 2 interview notices and see what can be done so I won't have to attend them. I entered the country on Oct 19, 2006 Filed for...

    Travelling/living overseas with Green Card

    Hi! I had a question. It might seem kind of dumb but the question is this. Once I have a green card, what's the deal with traveling abroad? Do I need advance parole? What if (for an example) I am actually LIVING (abode) in Mexico but WORK in the US, going across the border often. Would that pose...

    odd letter from Immigration and Naturalization Service

    So, I just got an email from USCIS telling me that my welcome letter was sent yesterday... Where does that put me in my "mulitple interview" type situation? Should I just show up at the first interview coming up? Should I phone USCIS telling them that I got an email telling me that my...

    odd letter from Immigration and Naturalization Service

    I just don't get it...wouldn't it show up on their files that I've already been to this same interview already and that I'm scheduled for another interview soon and they'd maybe go ahead and NOT send me ANOTHER one?

    odd letter from Immigration and Naturalization Service

    Here's a new twist might really piss you off. I know it really annoyed me. I just got another letter from USCIS identical to the first interview letter (the one telling me and my wife to go to Garden City. An interview I already went to.) except it has my new address and tells me to go to a...

    odd letter from Immigration and Naturalization Service

    I assumed that USCIS was on top of things like that. I guess I should have sent it in with the form. The AR-11 needs to get sent in and then you have to call USCIS and tell them over the phone as well. I did both and let the agent on the line know everything I knew at the time (I didn't have the...

    odd letter from Immigration and Naturalization Service

    So I went to Federal Plaza to try and get a walk in appointment. The screening agent told everyone that without an infopass appointment you can't talk to an agent. I managed to show him my letter and he told me that it WAS pretty odd since I'd already been "penned in" (when they write a...

    odd letter from Immigration and Naturalization Service

    I've been trying to get through to the office in Garden City to try and get an appointment with the agent that interviewed us first but it seems like if you don't have an extension, all you get is an automated response on how to get to the GC office by car and then it hangs up on you. I will...

    odd letter from Immigration and Naturalization Service

    Is this a phenomenon linked to filing AR-11? Has anyone else had this happen to them besides Anja and I? The supplement says: Supplemental Information for filing I-485 Unmarried minor children of USC's Parents of USC's Certain employment based preferences and Derivative spouse and...

    odd letter from Immigration and Naturalization Service

    it is SO odd, but then to show up for an interview would mean another 8 hours of travelling....it really is a wierd letter...

    odd letter from Immigration and Naturalization Service

    Is there a way around Infopass? If I went to the office (Federal Plaza or Garden City) would I be turned away or is there a way I could queue up and get an appointment right then and there?
