TOMOCHKA Congrats. They indeed seem to be working as per the timelines posted here by others. After your initial approval when did your next online status change? Did you go immediatly after approval for your stamping? Thanks InQ4GC

I just found out that to visit Mexico you need to get the usual $37 visitor visa and an additional affidavit fee for RTD holders of $62. Travel with only a Green Card is no longer accepted for entry to Mexico like Canada. Which are the countries that allow you to visit on an RTD without a...

Benko, The white card at the back has a date which is one year back dated from the approval date. The normal wait in Los Angeles is 4 to 5 hours to get to the officer but afterwards it is only 20 min. I would advise you to go early. Everyone is very helpful and it is a no brainer. Dont worry...

Stamp on white card The stamp on the white card at the back says AS6 for the primary applicant and AS7 for derivative family member in our case. We got stamped on 11/07 and 11/17 Both were back dated 1 year from the date approved. InQ4GC

Second approval received in my family ND 11/05/99 FP 08/15/03 RFE 10/14/03 RFE rcd by BCIS 10/22/03 APPROVED 11/07/03 One more family member who had the same ND 11/05/99 and FP on 08/16/03 has not yet got RFE. So I guess the time taken is different from case to case...

At the time of stamping the officer asked me for my passport. I said it is expired long time ago and I dont want a stamp on it but he insisted and I gave him my passport. He took all this inside and after 20 min called me for finger printing and gave me my white card. No stamp on passport. I...

Congrats and enjoy your Green card. Dont forget to take 3 pictures with you when you go for approval stamping. As for RTD I think you should write to them with copy of approval letter so the status says permanent resident. InQ4GC

Cider_or, The approval notice asks for 2 pictures, I94 and passport. The officer mentioned the drivers licence number on the white card as I did not want my expired passport stamped. So carry 3 pictures if you want the white card and your drivers license also. InQ4GC

Got stamped today. My passport was expired so I asked for the stamp to be on the card. The officer asked for an additional picture. So please take 3 pictures with you when you go although your notice will say 2 pictures. The whole process after I reached the counter took only 30 min. He also...

Sea_Blue, Once they send you an RFE it shows up online and once you submit the RFE info asked it also updates within three days as "we have received the information you sent..." If your Notice Date (not receipt date) is before 11/15/99 then you must call the 800 number and ask the officer to...

Cider The online status is the ND which is the later date. It will remain the same and unchanged for years till you get an RFE. I know instances of people who did not receive reply as expected and then they got a re-fingerprint notice or an RFE asking for a lot of information. Basically if...

RFE was different for each member of my family. All of them asked for Medical. Some asked for birth certificate, Bio Graphic information and 1 year continous proof of presence in US in form of tax returns or employment records. InQ4GC

Cider Before RFE was asked the message was the same for ages saying we received your application in Nov 99 .... Even FP request does not show up on online status. As soon as they send RFE you will know online. Receiving RFE means your FP is cleared from FBI. Relax and wait....Things...

The RFE documents like Medical, Birth Certificate etc was sent and I had this message. But GC approval came within 16 days. The message after receipt of RFE info was as under. On October 14, 2003, we received your response to our request for evidence or information. It is taking between...

GC Approval Received ND 11/05/99 FP 08/15/03 RFE 10/08/03 Online says Approved 10/30/03 InQ4GC

ND 11/05/99 FP 08/15/03 RFE 10/08/03 Online says Approved 10/30/03 What a relief!!!! Waiting now for my other family members approval filed around the same time. InQ4GC

My RD is June 16 and I have not heard anything from BCIS.

2 of us in my family got RFE. One on 9/29 and one on 10/08. Notice date was 11/05/99 and FP was 08/15/03. I think who ever has a notice date before 11/16/99 is being issued GC subject to everything being ok. Like I said before BCIS is looking much better than the old INS in processing...

I485 11/05/99 FP 08/15/03 RFE 10/08/03 Dates are similar for other members of my family. I am convinced BCIS is far better organized than the old INS!! InQ4GC
