    Tracking GC delivery via USCIS ELIS

    Just a data point: Fee paid: 3/4/17 POE: 5/26/17 CPO/approved: 7/2/17 Card mailed: 7/6/17 Card received: 7/8/17 MyUSPS didn't send any tracking data and the card mailed message didn't have any tracking data either. Good luck to all!

    Landing first time in USA?

    Ahh! Thank you! However I get user defined error when I check. Opened an account, added the case, just pulls up blank. Strange.

    Landing first time in USA?

    Yep, know that one, but for a consular processed DV case there is no case number, I could be wrong though. There is only IV case# and the A#.

    I see. Didn't realize the new cards won't have signatures/fingerprints, very interesting. Either way thanks for the info Susie, much appreciated!

    what is next step after getting visa

    Ah, makes sense! Is there a new immigrants line at JFK? There's gotta be one... I've been through there at least 5-6 times, but can't remember or never paid attention, even though I spent a lot of time there just waiting in line haha Are there a lot of forms to fill out? The person incoming...

    what is next step after getting visa

    What do you mean secondary line? Like do they send you to another check point after you go through the initial CBP check? Also I imagine one would go through the permanent residents/citizens section right (initially)? Thank you Susie!

    what is next step after getting visa

    How long does it normally take? 30 mins or like 1-2 hrs? I mean with the CBP officer, excluding line wait times :)

    DV 2016 AOS Only

    Just FYI, I waited almost 2 months after my interview, the main thing is the KCC file. I made sure to bring it up during the interview, only after which she realized that she would need a file from KCC. Took them a month after the interview to request it, and after receiving it on March 1st...

    Mom, do you also suggest I call USCIS and ask to speak with a supervisor so they can submit a case inquiry? And do you think this will be of any use https://egov.uscis.gov/e-request/Intro.do ?

    Congratulations!! Did your infopass help? I know you've been waiting a while after your interview. It's been almost 2 months since my interview (on Jan 21st) and two weeks since the IO finally received the KCC file. The waiting game is getting old :( I've never run a marathon but now I know why...

    I would black out the bar codes as well because your case number can be read from barcodes.

    @Sm1smom Mom, it's been 3 weeks since my interview and IO still hasn't requested the KCC file. I'll wait another week, and if IO still hasn't requested by then then i'll make an infopass. IO has mentioned that my fingerprint check (background check?) has cleared and she wrote down some...

    DV 2016 AOS Only

    Yes. It took me around 5 months to get my 2NL. Submitted in May, received letter in October, granted that I submitted ds260 before the fiscal year started in October. Yours probably shouldn't take as long. And it wasn't a critical document for my AOS package or the interview. Though the IO may...

    Thanks @Pamuk! My interview went fairly well. I was ready with all my documents thanks to @Sm1smom, but I didn't have to show any of them. I was called in about 30 mins after the time. I was asked to raise my hand and swear to tell the truth. Then the lady just reviewed/confirmed the i-485...

    @Sm1smom Mom, on the AOS spreadsheet, under the Interview Tips tab, the link to the Foreign Affairs Manual is broken. There is a new handbook for the FAM here - https://fam.state.gov/ The location of the manual that refers to using form I-134 for DV applicants is here -...
