    Yes, never received the plastic card. They sent my CR plastic card to my old address. by the time my lawyer found out, we had to go in for the PR. Now my PR is about to expire in 3 months. So if I don't get a plastic card, then will have to renew the stamp every year.

    In California, you have two stages of PR status. the first is the CR, which is the conditional resident(a 2 year temporary green card). you get this status for two years, after that you have to go back in for another interview. and if you are approved, they remove the CR and give you the PR...

    about the interviews stuff, I think the customer service don't know what they are talking about. for the application process. When you get your stamp on your passport (the date that you got the stamp), the INS's next step is to process your application, and then send you the physical green...

    It's the 800 CIS customer service. It's on their website. The lawyer didn't call them. The lawyer was notified by the CIS about the update via fax. then my lawyer called me. I believe in Texas it's more lenient than California. California law is a little more strict.

    jllag1, I hear you. the 1st lady customer service was somewhat harsh. I just asked a simple question nicely and she start giving me this authority tone. Telling me, the stamp doesn't mean jack, I don't have a permanent resident status, they can take it away anytime... after they look at my...

    I believe we are talking about the same thing. I did have the last inteview and I got the stamp. That's before the changes in the new CIS (before it was called the INS). When I did the interview last year on July of 2003 I got the stamp and now only have to wait for the Plastic Card. I was told...
