Ladies and Gentlemen,
I got the card today, and it's not green :P but I see the world in green now!!
What to do other than apply for new social security card and notify employer?
Also, what date do I use to start counting for Citizenship application, and how long? Is it I485 receipt date...
Got my approval / welcome notice form by mail today Dec 3 (had got the email version on Nov 27).
Now waiting for the green!
God bless the U.S.A.

2 notices below but still nothing received in mail:
Notice that welcome letter was mailed on Nov 27.
Notice that card was mailed on Nov 30.
Plans to travel abroad: Dec 16.
The earliest InfoPass I could get is Dec 7. Will they stamp temporary green on my passport during the same day...
I got today another email alert from CRIS-USCIS: Card mailed on Nov 30!
But still no notice received (they supposedly mailed it on Nov 27! how long would it take? come on, it's Texas to Cali only!)
You can find below my details, but please answer my question on what to do if my travel date (Dec 15) comes and I don't have my notice and/or card yet!!
Thanks!

I received today this email from the automatic USCIS alert system:
"Current Status: Notice mailed welcoming the new permanent resident.
On November 27, 2007, we mailed you a notice that we had registered this customer's new permanent resident status. Please follow any instructions on the...
So in case of scenario 2 above, can I apply from abroad ?, or should I do it before leaving ? It doesn't look like it will be approved before December anyway... (?)
Hello,
I have 2 questions:
1. What is the difference between getting an EAD, and extending H1B status. What are the pros and cons of each, in GENERAL ?
Now PARTICULARLY, If I want to change jobs, any difference if I am on EAD or on extended H1B status ?
2. After I140 approval, and...
Now what if my green card gets approved :
scenario 1: just before I travel, but I don't have the card yet.
scenario 2: after I travel but before I come back.
I have I485 pending and H1B stamped valid until April 2008.
I intend to travel on Xmas but I haven't even applied to AP yet. Processing times are still back in May and June, so even if I apply now, I don't think I can get one. Unless there is expedited processing option ??
Also, I was...
What if I want to change employer? When is a better time to do that? before or after H1B expires? Will I-485 and I-140 need to start again? What if I'm already on EAD?
Thx!
I went to my infopass appointment today, and all they could tell me is that my I485 is still pending in the Texas Center. They suggested to contact Texas Center directly, so I will send a letter to Texas Center and an email to uscis-complaint.
I have a new question now: I have a valid H1 Visa...
Thx. But what kind of appointment should I select ? The best I can pick is the last one but it says:
If it has been over 45 days since you contacted NCSC and have not received a response to your inquiry. You must bring the Service Request ID Number related to your inquiry to the appointment...
How do I get info pass appointment?
And is it really helpful, i.e. would they tell me how long I have left to wait??
What should I take when I go there?
Thx!
One more important information:
My I485 filing date is 12-22-2005.
My RFE was received by USCIS in July 2006.
Texas Center is now processing applications from Dec 2006.
Thanks!
Hello,
My I140 has been approved more than a year ago.
Now on I485 status request, in reply to "type of service requested: Outside normal processing times":
-In November 2006, I received an answer letter from Texas Center of USCIS stating the following: "Processing of your case has been...
Hello,
My 6th and final H1 year will end in April 2008, and I am still waiting for I485 approval for more than a year now (probably stuck in name check, which could take a much longer time).
In general, what are my options for the next step? Do I really need to file H1 extension at this...
