Congrats and thanks for putting your timeline dora applicant and luckygambino. it certainly gives us some idea as to whats happening at Dora.
 
hey abbas1223,
I made a infopass for this friday. What do you suggest me to bring with me? I still hope they will approve me before this friday!

thanks in advance.
 
i went to my infopass today appointment and the lady told me that my case was approved on 09/05 ,she even showed me the date of the approval on my file i was stunned,she went on and said that my file was misplaced and thats why they didn't send any approval letter,she apologized and ordered my Green card right away.
My advise is if you did not get the 70th day letter,make the infopass appointment to check on your case,don`t wait till the 90th day is over because some people at the immigration don`t do their work properly.i checked my email when i came home and saw the approval e mail from chris and my status online changed to card production ordered

hey allswell,
that is a very good news to hear that you got approved. Do we have to bring anything to the infopass? Also, what time is your appointment and how long did you wait before you talk to an officer?

thanks in advance
 
hi abba114

take your receipts and your passport with your infopass appointment,but in my case she only asked of my receipt.my infopass was for 8.30am .i got there around 8am i signed in and got a number.i went to the window when they called my name.the lady asked of my reciept after i have explained to her why i`m here. she checked on her computer and told me to go sit down that she will call me up again,that she requested for my file.
After like 30 minutes she called me back .i left there about 8.45 am

Congratualtions allswell, In my case they said that it needs final approval. Anyway I will make that appointment again.
abbas114.....Take your infopass appointment. I have seen some people get I-551 stamped on passport if you justify it to them....like you want to leave the country etc...so take it just incase. Maybe allswell could have done the same.
 
hey guys,
I just came back from the infopass this morning. The only information I got from them is that my name checked was cleared yesterday. They still need to do a review. Well, I hope it doesn't take too long
 
hi abba114
i think they changed it immediately because there was an approval email from Chris sitting on my email when i got home and my online status also changed to card production ordered.i received my welcome letter today from uscis and it has the notice date of October 9. :)

Hello,

I was using DORA Dallas Office Rapid Adjustment in year 2005, and now it's time to file remove condition. Does someone know and can kindly tell me where I should file I-751 now ?

When I applied my conditional green card, the address for filing is:

USCIS Dallas District Office
3010 North Stemmons Freeway
Dallas, Texas 75247

But for removing condition, from what I have read, the address is:

USCIS Texas Services Center
P.O.Box 850965
Mesquite, TX 75185-0965

Does anyone use DORA program know the answer, or you could ask the lawyer if you have one currently. I have tried to ask 1-800 number USCIS but never get a answer because most people don't know DORA.

I greatly appreciate all you help
 
hey abbas123,
it's now mid october, do you have any update on your case? I wonder how long would it take to do the final approval once the name check is cleared...
 
Hi abba114,
I went to dallas today with infopass. This time a lady told me that my wife name was cleared on or before oct 4th and the file went to original adjudicating officer on oct 4th, and he has 90 days from oct 4th to take "action" or ask for more evidence bla bla. I told her that I was told that the name was cleared before and that it was waiting on final approval....She said thats what she sees on her screen. she also gave me a written paper with same notes and wanted me to check in 90 days if no news from INS. I guess it comes to the same notion.........."There is no science as to how they work things" Good luck abba114.
