change of status again

On May 24, 2006, after approving your application, we ordered you a new card. Your card will be mailed to you as soon as it is ready. :D
 
I called the officer in Garden City trying to get some information. She simply told me that the "background check" has not finished, and it's not done by her so there is nothing she cannot do at this point. She said that when it's over 3 months and if I still don't hear anything, I should put it in writing. They kept talking about "put it in writing". Does anyone know who we should send that writing to? Also, I have filed the renewal of my EAD two months ago via E-file. It has not been approved. Does anyone know if this is taking too long?

My interview was on 3/15/2006.

Best wishes,
 
we are still waiting semi-patiently. we were interviewed on march 13, 2006. waiting, waiting....
so now it seems we might get a welcome letter without online status changing first....great! another thing to obsess over...ill be running to check the post and the online status everyday.
after june 13th (90 days) my lawyer is going to start making inquiries!
 
waiting...

i don't bother to check online status now, just keep my mail alert on all the time.
4/19, almost six weeks, no words, no nothing, they just sent back my origial birth certificate I left during the interview.
inquiry is going to where your interview took place. Don't see that much help.
Maybe I should make an infor-pass to check where my files at. Hope that would help the process.
Guess I am not alone here, stange that some people get their stuff pretty fast, and the others are just stucking in the middle of nowhere.
Anyway, I am pretty tight with work, and not planning to make an international travel soon. The flight is pretty expensive during the summer as well. still Nice to have my GC on hand soon.
Enjoy the holiday, going to host a BBQ party this weekend if there is no rain.

Regards...
 
I just received my green card :D It states that I am a resident since 10/01/2006 (date of the interview)

I also got an email from USCIS that states: "This case has been approved. On May 30, 2006, an approval notice was mailed. If 30 days..." It is weird that I got the card before the approval notice, ha? But whatever :) I am sooooo happy!!!
 
Finally! Congratulations!!!!! :D :D

I just came back into the country on my new gc btw- I was so excited. :p The officer was all laugh and smiles- he asked if this was my first time travelling on the gc- and i said YES and I'm loving it. My husband at first didn't follow me to the same counter, because he's so used to us going to seperate officers- so when we approached, the officer asked- are you sure you guys are married? (jokingly)- I told him: I thought we were, but obviously my husband isn't too sure.
