Any May filers around?

The welcome letter I received a couple of days ago has some language in it that doesn't sound very professional. In particular,"carry" is misspelled ("... you must cary your card with you. It is the law.")

Does anyone else have this in their letter? Are they somehow personalized?

slickdeals is good for getting very good deals on purchasing products. If you're looking for financial deals/advice, I find FW Finance the best. It gives you the potential to make thousands on checking, savings, brokerage account bonuses and credit card bonuses and rewards, and to find the highest paying accounts in the nation at any given point in time. It's a paradise for risk-averse, frugal, stingy people. :D
 
wrong info on the GC

Hi Guys!!!

My husband didn't tell me in time that on Monday I got my Green Card!!! (I am on a trip to vegas now). I was upset at him that he didn't tell me right away but he said he wanted to surprise me when we see each other next week. And guess what... I checked all the data on it, and they made a mistake. It says: " Resident since 05.28.2007, card expires 05.28.2009"!!!! I don't understand it. We had the interview on 09.17, and the IO told me to apply I-751 90 days before 9.16.2009 (when the card expires), so why did they put the wrong dates? On May 28 the USCIS received my documents, crazy!!!
What do you think about it?

Well, tomorrow I am going to call them, because this expiration date matters (of course I would rather have it valid till 05.28.2009, then I can remove the conditions earlier but I don't want to mess up with USCIC).

Austriacus, don't worry my welcome notice has the same spelling mistake as your (I also noticed that right away).
 
MagdaJ, good luck with fixing your GC dates. I'm not sure if that's really better if it's valid till 5/28 instead of 9/16. The reason I say this is, let's say you wait until 90 days before removing your status based on your "real" GC expiration date (which may be in some USCIS database), you'd apply no earlier than 6/18, but then the date on your card would have been expired (which may also be in some USCIS database). So yes, I'd definitely get it straightened out. I suppose your I-551 passport stamp could serve as proof when the real date is.
 
Yes, I know, I need to straighten this out. I am sure that in their data base they have the right dates. At least I have a stamp in my passport (with the correct date), I just wonder how long it will take them to send me the new (corrected) card. My trip to POland is on the 26th of this month, sure I can use the stamp in the passport, but I wanted to use my new shiny card ;-)

I will call them tomorrow and let you know what they said.
Take care!

I know you will have to file I-90 and show proof of the right date, at no cost to you.

I am traveling in December and can not wait to use my shiny GC ;)
 
Hi Guys, its been a while. You remember when my wife and I went for the interview on 8/27 the IO asked us to bring evidence of bona fide marriage. Well, now with the SS#, we managed to get a life insurance policy and joint bank accounts. We also added affidavit from one of our friends and a joint Netflix subscription. Even though my wife has added me to her health insurance policy, it was taking forever to get the new policy mailed to us. So last monday 10/1, we submitted it to USCIS. We have not seen any LUDs. Does any of you know how soon it will take to complete the process? My wife and I have plans of traveling out of the US in December. Is there anything more that we can do? Thank you all

Hey, I just called the USCIS customer service, and they told me thay are not responsible for this mistake, she made it sound like that's the info they got from the local office, and they can't correct it, I need to make an info pass appointment at the local office. I thought I would avoid that... everything had been going smoothly so far, oh well, at least I have the stamp in my passport. I wonder how long it will take them to correct it.

Here's your chance to see Natural Bridge Caverns, Natural Bridge Wildlife Park, Tower of the Americas, Wonderworld Caverns and Park (in San Marcos) as well as outlet malls in San Marcos. ;) HEB Plus in Kyle might be worth a visit too... (the small town with the two fancy brick bridges over I-35).

Disclaimer, I haven't seen any of them yet so I don't know how interesting they are.
 
Thanks Austriacus... I am not sure if we will have time to see those things, we want to do it quickly. I already made the appointment on the 19th (2 days after I come back from my trip).
Did you get any other LUDs?
 
interview on 10/19

Hello, I finally received the new date for my interview (i had to reschedule the first one) Hopefully everything goes ok. Where can i read about your interviews and how it went?
Thanks guys
 
MagdaJ, I got a couple of LUDs right after my interview (they were working on the case, approving it, sent an I-130 approval, sent a welcome letter, and my latest one is an I-485 approval notice). Does the actual card have the same cool security features as the EAD, like the hologram of the statue of liberty?

Incidentally, this may be interesting to MagdaJ or Tommy_Chicago ... courtesy of bankdeals blog:

6.11% APY 60-month certificate of deposit at Polish & Slavic Federal Credit Union
Branches located in New York/New Jersey but membership is open to anyone of Polish or Slavic descent.
 
Hey Austriacus!

Thanks for the link about that credit union, I will show it to my husband and see what he thinks about it.

As far as the green card's appearance, my husband sent me a scan of my card (I am still out of town) and it looks exactly like the EAD card, but I didn't held it in my hands so something might be different... Anyway, like I said, I already made an INFOPASS appointment to clear out the wrong dates on my card, they didn't want to do it through the customer service in MSC.

It looks like your card is on its way, the approval letter usually comes with the card! Hooray! :)
 
Hi all,

Just giving you all an update on my case. I was approved at my interview on 8/22, but my case is still showing pending online, no update what so ever. When calling the 1-800 number they tell me to call back on 10/22, since this is the first date they will actually do anythign (60 days after interview). I can't do an infopass right now either, since driving 12 hours round trip would require time off work etc. So I'll just have to wait. Stupid thing is that the IO didn't give me a stamp in the passport, saying that I would get my card in a week anyways!

Sorry to hear that...
Hopefully on the 10/22 everything will be taken care of! Good luck!
 
Hi guys,
Hope things are moving along well for the May filers :) Congratulations to everyone who's received their LPR status and all the best for those who are still waiting for interviews. Especially for us who are in name-check I pray that we get through this soon. Take care.
