thanks for the update. I have also problems with my my Cardsnay said:---------- somebody 3-4 months back posed that immigration department(or airline from India) at Indian airport before departure to US were creating problem with I551 stamp, did you face any problem? If came from India from where did you took the flight to US. did you also show I-485 approval or they just checked the stamp?
At the immigration in Mumbai, that guy asked me for all possible forms of ID, The passport I had was a new one issued in Chicago. He was looking very closely. He also asked his neighbour about the passport and the other guy said its alright. Then he let me go. I showed him my drivers license from here and my old passport. I did NOT show him my greencard since it had incorrect name.
----------- when did you visit the local USCIS to file form I-90? becase now the I-90 has to be filed with LA lockbox address after May 31
I dont feel very comfortable mailing it. So I went personally. Also I went on May 27 maybe thats why it was okay.
----Did you ask for the new stamp or stamp was going to expire in 1-2 months?
She suggested to give me more time because the one I had earlier would expire in Feb 06, and she didnt want me to come there in the middle of winter. *very thoughtful of her*
-------- if your service center is VSC you may get new Card in 1 month time, a person filed I-90 with local USCIS NJ and got reciept from VSC in 10 days and then he got his Card on 25 th day after filing the I-90 with local office
Lets hope I get it that soon too. Will keep you posted. My service center is NSC.
I recieved the Card and my Card had my last name and part of my full name as LAST name on it ( i had also recived welcome notice and that also had the same mistake)
2 my AOS was approved in local office and they stamped my passport at that time and the stamp is valid for 4 months from today
3 I visited local office 3 months back to file I-90 and officer checked my A# and asked if i attended Interview in same local office and I said yes he then told me that they want my file trasftred again and will contact me. no meassge from them for 2 months. again I visited the local office after 2 months and again the officer said that they will contact me by phone wait for 1 month they did not take my I-90
4 my passport was going to expire so I got renewed from NYC consulate of India and the GC stamp is on my expired passport, somebody posted to other person in this thread that one can travel with new passport and valid stamp in expired passport. I dont know if it is true.
5 I have to go out of US in 1 month and will be back before the Stamp in passport expires( the valid stamp is in expired passport.
6 I have also to take filight back to US from MUMBAI airport, cold you please post if the airline just see the valid stamp only.
7 regarding the immigration department at Mumbai airport what other ID they are asking? I have new passport and expired passport stapled, I have DL, I have also wecome notice. please guide what other documents I should keep with me so that Immigration department at Mumbai dont create problems.
8 I am totaly confused now and dont know if I should visit local office again to get new GC stamp in new passport
9 i dont know if I need to visit local office to file I-90 as they have not called me or I should mail I-90 to new address.
