I sent it out regular mail, RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED along with a PERSONAL check. I got the return receipt signed by the VSC about a week later. My bank has online availability (I believe MOST do) where I could see the canceled check about the same time. I mailed it out on a Saturday and the...

My interview is at Federal Plaza. They have oaths every day. I have a feeling that greencarder has a point. I am of Hispanic origin and not from Mexico. Somehow, I have a feeling this had some bearing on how quickly my name check was done/processing time. That's why I think I lucked...

Thank you for all the responses!! And I will definitely make sure and write about my interview experience the day after! It is fine by me if the oath is a few weeks later. Like I said before, this board was an incredible help in getting the application together. I sent the cover...

Well, it's odd because while I was having all that trouble with getting my physical green card, I was checking my online status all the time. Since this all happened so quickly, I never even got a chance to register my new receipt number, so I don't know if the online status changed or not...

Permanent resident interview 4/9/02. Received Green Card 5/03....after it got delivered to wrong address, forwarded, returned, applied for I-90, received 5/03. Permanent resident on 4/10/02 N-400 sent to VSC 1/15/07 Check cashed 1/17/07 Fingerprint notice 1/22/07 Fingerprint...

I've seen people post here before about this problem, but I've never really seen a definitive answer. I sent my N-400 about 3 days after I became eligible. The check was cashed 2 days later! Then I received my fingerprint notice about a week after that. The 5 yrs continuous residency...

Can you tell me how long that takes? Because I got the email saying that the card was returned to them undeliverable on 5/4/05 and I still have received nothing. I Called the service center again yesterday, and the rep told me that the card was returned to them. Could it take more than a...

Watch your tone and the words you use to talk to people. People here are just trying to help each other out and talk about their experiences/ideas/solutions...etc. No need to be calling people stupid or telling them what they are saying is stupid. This is what happened to me, and that is what...

Well, I don't really know what to do...It seems that sometimes it's not marked and sometimes it is. Apparently, mine was since it was returned....but some people on this board have said that theirs was forwarded. So, shockingly USCIS has different methods! I called the 800 # to change my...

Don't be so sure....My SSN took 11 weeks 3 days because their systems were all out of whack or whatever..but the SSA is by far the most helpful agency I have ever come across. They are nice and always helpful and if you call their 800 number they are always pleasant....I really enjoyed dealing...

Ok, so it DOES have the Do Not Forward line on it after all? Honestly, after all these years, all the laws and all the research, I Really thought I had it in the bag! I thought "Well, I'll just send the AR11 as they specifically tell you to in order to get your updated address and that will...

Ok...so after 4 years of waiting I finally started to get updates online. Last week I received an email stating that " We will mail you your card as soon as it is ready...." and "We will mail you a welcome notice..." So yesterday I received a notice that said "the document we sent to you was...

I got the same message just yesterday...and I was interviewed and stamped back in April of 04. I think it's a series of messages once you finally get the paperwork moving. I got approved close to a year ago and received no change in status until yesterday. It kept saying "In March of 03 we...

485 approved 4/11 passport stamped 4/11 no green card, no letter, nothing yet. NYC field office

I just talked to CIS and they informed me that everything is in my maiden name, so no surprise there....I already told my husband that i'm not going to bother and just go by my maiden name. How is it possible that they issue you a SS card with your married name on it? Because all they need is...

I was approved for 485 under a family filing and in between approval I got married. I handed the officer a copy of my marriage certificate and told her my last name had changed. She didn't really seem to pay too much attention to it. I applied for an SSN under my married name. I am still...

So you received your card after 20 days after calling the 800 number? See, the problem is that my file is still sitting in NYC. My parents and I applied under 485. My parents were not immediately approved and have to go back for 2nd interviews in November. Could this be holding my file up...

Is there a major problem with cases going through NYC? I got my passport stamped in April and they told me to just wait for the card. After 5 months, i had not applied for a SSN because I thought you needed the physical card to do so...but I found out only through the SSA website that I could...
