Congrats Centella, I received my welcome letter last friday, and also another email from USCIS that said "Card Production Ordered", that was the second one, after I already received the same one after the interview. Anyone know how long it takes for the USCIS to actually send out the card?

I think the second "Card Production Ordered" is when they have completed production of the card. Looking at the EAD, we got it four business days after the second notice. Therefore, these GCs should be traveling already.
 
well today was a GOOD day, got my GC in the mail. My picture looks horrible, but other than that i am soooo happy that I'm done with the process for the next 2 years. Thank you February Filers and good luck to everyone with upcoming interviews. See you in 2013.

@staicfade56

tYeah, I paid the fees yesterday. I didn't know that I could only send the emails to NVC using Internet Explorer -.- Dang, that added on a week on my process! Oh well, I'm sending the DS 230 tomorrow. I really hope you the week speeds up for you so you can see your hubby a whole lot faster! :) Good luck to you too!

hello ^^
my step mom filed for my dad in feb 2011
and he has recieved his green card yesterday ^^
congradulations for everyone who has recieved their pr^^
 
@Melz400

Did they already request the DS 230 from you, or are you sending it in on your own? I've been waiting for a request so I can send that. I think they are working through my other fees and I-864 right now, but I have the DS 230 ready to go.
 
Congrats

Musica, critiquar (ATL Feb filers)- Congrats on the GC approval, your patience has paid off. Congrats once again folks.

Emporaraj, centella - Congrats on GC approval

MaraL- Congrats on IL letter, I told you your hubby will be greened before the end of summer. The patience and what you have gone through will pay off at the end.

Noella- This thread will not be complete without you being green. I am sure you will be by the time you come back from home.
 
Updates

@ All.....Glad to hear the good news for you. Been off for 2 weeks and finally back on daily :)

@ Induz...thanks for your thoughts

@ Melz400 and Staticfade56.......
We are all at the same point or within days of each other I think.

The past weeks went like this for me:
Paid the AOS 88 fee and had the cover page within 2 days.
Paid the IV 404 fee and within 2 daysit showed paid. However, it took 10 days to get cover sheet email.

864 was mailed out and NVC got it June 22.... no word
230 was mailed out and NVC got it July 1....no word

Other than the fees being paid and forms mailed out to NVC and them recieving them, we have no word on anything at all. Not sure if the forms passed or what step will be next.

I guess we now wait for an IL and date for the embassy. I bought a ticket for my spouse already to fly back to the US together but they may be wishful thinking on the timeframe (for Mid August).

Well, thats all I can think of for now and I will be on frequently again, as my travels are done, GOOD LUCK to ALL of US :)

Ps. @ Melz400....just wait for NVC to send letters or email to you before you send anything at all. Email is best as I had an email for agent within days and my spouse got it in regular mail 3 plus weeks later. Cheers

Welcome back!
So, I think I hit a minor delay and its my own fault. I didn't check back for the paid receipt. I did end up getting it...but I didn't realize that the next step info (DS230, etc) would come from that receipt. So, now I'm a few days behind because I didn't take action as soon as I got the receipt. I have the DS-230 finished, but I didn't realize that the police papers, etc are requested at the same time so I'm still waiting for one of those. I will have to get it translated and then I can send everything in.
I was hoping that when I send this in we could still get an interview for July, but that won't happen now since we're already into July and I probably won't be sending all of the stuff in for another week or so.

Let me know when you do hear about your interview. I'm curious to hear how far in advance they schedule the interview. My husband is going to be in the US for a few weeks in August, so I'm hoping that they don't schedule the interview during that time. I'm guessing now that I'm sending the documents in kind of late the interview might not be scheduled until September anyway. I guess I will see.

@Melz400 - I also think its a good idea not to send in papers until they are required (it says this on their website). However, when you do receive a receipt for any of the fees, be sure to check back into the attachment of the receipt email as well as the website to see what to do next. NVC won't send you a separate notice of the next steps.

Good luck everyone!
 
@staticfade56
Yes they did. They requested it twice plus I had to request a change of address. They wrote it wrong and if it's written wrong it might be sent to NY instead of Jamaica (the country).
 
@TonyGman

Just curious - which country will your interview be from? My husband's will be in Brussels and it seems Melz400's will be in Jamaica.

I'm not sure if this will also have anything to do with the process. I hope to send my DS230 plus additional documents late next week as I also realized that I need to get them translated :-/
 
well all went well to the interview,in till he got to the part to "245i" law
the dates was the problem,so dont know,at the end the officer told my lawyer that he needs to send some proof that was more cases like this one there and got approved,
so after the interview the next day the lawyer sent the package to our local office and was received this morning 9.20am (checked the tracking with fedex) ,and by 10.29 am he did his decision ,that went in denial of the case,dont know the reason or even if he has received the evidence,so now my lawyer is trying to get in touch with that officer to find out ,if he did received the papers evidence ,, other thing is that to know why or what was the reason we have to wait for the letter to come in mail.
so,as of right now after 11 years here in the usa and 2 kids,i am just lost,i have no words,
but will see what will be next...hope for the best.
