Any AUGUST 2010 filers out there? please post your time line here!


According to my calculations we have 24 posters in this forum. Some of them are not really August filers but they are here... because this forum is so cool :)
Anyways... of the 24... this is the first person ( I think... hope I didn't miss someone!) to get the physical GC... so 1 down, 23 to go!
Best of luck to every one... a word of encouragement to anyone stuck in one of the steps... don't lose hope... there is light at the end of the tunnel!

Citi good luck to you my friend!! I will say a prayer for you tonight.

On a better note, I got my Biometrics Appt!!!! Myself and four other family members that also filled consecutively under the same 245i case. Im going to try and set a date for walk-in biometrics. How long does it usually take after biometrics are done for the EAD to be produced?? Ive been looking at some timelines but they are mostly for marriage based statuses, anyone with a family based petition have any estimates?.

Immiqrous: Dont loose hope, Out of everyone here i think we both connected on the fact that the Biometrics were taking us so long, and I am sure something will come up. I will be praying for you.

Its amazing how little news like these can keep us going for days.
 
Guys i have GOOD NEWS

I finally Got my GREEN CARD today in the mail Thanks to Almighty God and everybody on this forum. Best of luck to everybody who are still in the process of getting green card.
 
LadyM,

Please see some acceptable documents to show physical presence.


A person may demonstrate physical presence by submitting a photocopy of a federal, state or local government-issued document that attests to the physical presence in the United States on December 21, 2000. If the 245(i) applicant does not submit a government-issued document, INS Officers have been advised to accept and evaluate non-government issued documents. Such documentation must contain the name of the applicant, have been dated at the time it was issued, and bear the seal or signature of the issuing authority. It must also be issued on letterhead stationery or otherwise be authenticated.

In certain situations, a single document may suffice to establish the applicant's physical presence; however, it is anticipated that the applicant will need to submit several documents. For such instances, the INS should accept bank records demonstrating that an applicant made a mortgage payment on December 1, 2000 and again on January 1, 2001, for example. Other forms of non-governmental documentation may include, but are not limited to, school records, medical records, rental receipts, utility bill receipts, any other dated receipts, personal checks written by the applicant bearing a bank cancellation stamp, employment records including pay stubs, or credit card statements showing the dates of purchase, payment, or other transaction. The INS will evaluate all evidence on a case-by-case basis. If an applicant submits a personal affidavit attesting to physical presence on December 21, 2000, INS will require either an interview or additional evidence to validate the affidavit. It is the responsibility of the applicant to obtain and submit copies of any other government agency records that the applicant desires the INS to consider in support of the 245(i) application and eligibility.

Faddu630,
Congrats, a long journey continues as you embark into a new phase, make the best use of your GC, the trials, pains, fear, and all the uncertainty over the years have now evolved into a feeling of geat joy, a tear, many tears of joy will fall, anticipation of a future, a future secure on one hand and now making little steps to realize your dreams as an LPR in US.
The streets, the neighborhood, the cities will not be a lost wonder anymore, you will see hope and aspirations, belief that even the highest hurdle can be climbed.
IA, you will have success and happiness.

To all readers and members, especially the F4 category, whose agonising wait is finally bearing fruit.
