Hmm... When I called, she was able to provide me with the date they delivered the file as well as the date it was requested. Maybe there's a problem in their systems? Give another shot tomorrow, hope you'll get an answer!

I was about to ask Mom the same exact question. It will be just over 6 months since my medical at the time of my interview on April 19th..

An employment related background check is not the same as an immigration background check which is usually a lot more detailed and covers a wider spectrum.

Yes, an INFOPASS may be able to shed more light on your situation.

I wouldn't do a new medical exam unless the IL specifically says a new medical report should be presented at the time of the interview.

Ohhhh is this mean that they may lose their card if I am not eventually approved !!
I am very surprised too and very confused. How they approve them without me. I was in infopass two weeks ago and told me the case is under review then they approve them in the online status.
I hope they approve me soon this is so stressful
It is possible your green card has simply got lost or delayed. Not AOS, but green cards are all sent from the same place.... And all the rest of my family got their cards months before I did. Hopefully this is all it is.

Asking specific questions, like reading off a check list, at the INFOPASS usually rules out the possibility of being given a generic response of 'we have everything we need' or being told 'just wait'

Her online status should have been updated, like the rest of the family was, if she's been approved and issued with a GC.

...but technically they shouldn't have been approved so I was just giving another possibility of where the mistake might be?

Thank you Mom.

Do you mean it is possible they approve mine without changing the online status? So are your family the derivative and you are the primary applicant? Sorry to ask so many questions. I am so lost with this process

Yeah exactly and this is where the confusion come from

Right. However, USCIS has been known to erroneously approve and issue a derivative's GC while the main petitioner is still pending. I believe one of our forum members @Ifitis2be had her GC issued and delivered a couple of weeks before her husband, the main derivative finally got his.

Susie's situation is completely different from yours, she processed CP. She and the rest of her family were already approved together, her plastic GC just didn't show up with the rest of the family's.
Hey all
This is gonna be the last post I'm writing here. We got the Green Cards today in the mail. Newark FO was amazing! The officer was so nice and they kinda approved us so fast. We received our cards 1 week after the interview.
We wish everyone here a smooth, easy and stress free process. Remember you were all so lucky to be in this process.
Thanks mom. You are amazing. I found this forum last May through a friend who passed this process 2 years before us and I will introduce here to anyone who asks me for help in this way from now on.
Best of luck

Hi guys, quick question:
Since on April 12 will be my first INFOPASS and since we are still on April (so even if it's taking forever considering that is a DV based case they could say that they still have 5 months before the end of the FY) what kind of approach I should have in these sense? I will bring with me also the Policy memo to remind that DV cases require a "special" processing respect the other cases but I'm afraid this 5 months before the end could be not arguable.
Moreover I would like to know when could really make sense to contact level 2 officers and/or congressman. Maybe it's too early for this INFOPASS but I just want to know to plan a timeline for me

Technically, the policy memo only says that the field offices should monitor their DV case loads closely and strive to adjudicate DV cases before the end of the FY they pertain to. So it doesn't state that DV cases should be treated in a special and/or expedited way. But of course, it's good to remind them that these cases are time sensitive, in case they are not aware.

My wife and I just got our green cards in the mail today (less than 2 weeks after the uncharacteristically long interview with RFE)! We were so excited, we stood outside in the rain waiting for the postlady to show up. Thanks so much Mom for your guidance in this process. We're very grateful. I've added more date info to the AOS timeline sheet in hopes it will help others. Interestingly, our EAD/AP cards have yet to show up.
