Today we received our green cards! Yes, the reverse side has green tinge to it! I checked them for any errors, but luckily there were none. I benefitted from this forum immensely. I got the idea to appeal to the Vice President, local senator from this forum. I also found out from this forum...

Unfortunately the processing times are not given in the MSC service center for this application type. If it has been more than one month since your FP, please call the customer service and inquire. They are pretty helpful.

Pay $370 and e-file I-90. You can pay using your credit card and you will get your receipt immediately. Use that an get an infopass for getting your passport stamped. Temporary I-551 is usually valid for 1 year, within which time you will get your new card. Good luck, do not despair, but act...

Hi doc! I got a I-797 that our case is being processed. On 15th october, there was update on case status online that cards have been ordered. I am not getting e-mails for some reason. Today's update is that approval notice has been mailed. I do not know if it means the physical GC has been...

Finally on 10/08/08 we went for our biometrics. We had infopass for the same day too. Even before I got to the infopass time, the person taking biometrics asked us to go to the information counter to get our passports stamped for temporary I-551. We got the passports stamped. On 10/10/08 new...

I-90 e-filed I finally received a letter from USCIS asking me to pay $370 and file under "b" - card lost,stolen or destroyed. I did that on 22nd sep and got a notice of receipt on 25th of this month. I guess I have to wait. I hope things move fast as I plan to go on vacation out of the US...

TSC. I called the 1-800 number on the welcome notice. Also see my updates on GC lost in mail.

Hi all, I spoke to the customer service agent ~45 days after the stipulated time. I was told that our cases were handed over to an officer 30 days after I spoke to them last time. Now I have to wait for a month to pass after the officer has taken over our cases to hear from them. We could...

I too got an e-mail stating that I should apply under "card lost or stolen" option. However, when I spoke to the customer service agent, I was asked to apply under "card never received". I applied under latter category and no reply. However, I called the customer service again 1 month after...

Thanks. Can I ask a supplemental question too? What would I need to do if I wanted to change jobs and did not have the physical green card? Will a temporary 1551 stamp suffice?

Friends, Can anyone help me on this matter? On March 25th 2008 my wife and I got our welcome notices. On 28th march, we got e-mails that our approval notices have been mailed. However, even after 60 days when we did not get our GCs, upon inquiry, I got a mail that the GCs were lost in mail and...

Exactly two months ago I got e-mail from CRIS saying my approval notice for AOS was mailed. 3 days prior to that I got a mail from CRIS saying that welcome notice was mailed. I did get the welcome notice. Last month I contacted customer service asking why I did not get my GC. Today I got an...

Seek your senator's help to find out the status of your case I wrote to my state's senator, the Vice President of USA seeking their help to get some info from USCIS. I got prompt reply from both the senator and Vice President which were followed by letters from USCIS explaining that my file was...

Since my PD is current with TSC, and it is more than 30 days since my I-485 is supposed to be processed by TSC, I wrote to my lawyer to find out about my status. When I talked to FBI at virginia, they said they sent the results of my biometrics (code 3) the very next day on 11/29/05. Since then...

Hi all, I had my biometrics code 3 on 11/28/05. The LUD showed date of 11/29/05. I recently contacted FBI at Virginia and asked them if they did any checks on my case and gave them my A#. They said they returned the .... (I did not undertstand what they said) the next day (i.e. 11/29/05). My...

Hey, thanks for letting me know. I was under the impression that both name check and FP check are the same. Can you kindly enlighten me about them and what is to be done for name check?

I called 304-625-2406. I spoke to a receptionist I guess. She then transferred me to another line after telling me to choose the "speak to customer service agent" option. I did so. The customer service person asked me my A# and told me the status. By the way, I called them just yesterday...

I too am stuck in a similar situation. After my FP, the message is the same that reads that application was received, it takes 850 to 900 days etc etc. I called FBI at 304-625-5590 or at 304-625-2406 and asked them if they have done the security check. You too could do the same. Keep your A#...

I talked to a representative at FBI to enquire the status of my fingerprinting that was done on 11/28/05. She took my A# and read out from the computer saying something like this, "your case has been returned on 11/28/05 to USCIS....." I did not understand the rest. I asked if what she read...
