Hi,

I try to check the status of my case online through www.uscis.gov website but the system can't find my case number anymore. Yesterday I was able to see the satus of my case... I don't know if somebody else is experiencing the same issue.
Regards

DoraApplicant,

I think your case is about to get approved. I have seen this many a times that just before the case is approved, the system cannot find the application. In a day or two, your case, hopefully, will be approved.

I have read that some of the people here have been told at DORA interview, phrases like :CONGRATULATIONS, or you will recieve your green card in some months, or you will recieve notifications in the next days...

I mean obviously they have to see the finger prints results in order to grant a green card, but does that mean that the I-130 was approved?

if they dont believe in the marriage or proofs... They still schedule fingerprints? or they just send you a denial weeks after the interview... Someone respond please, what happen when they deny at the interview..

:confused:

Hello!
Congrats all of you who already received your green cards! I am very happy to find this system and I hope to receive mine very soon.
Well, I have a question. How long does it take to get the marriage certificate after the wedding? My DORA interview is on November, I've been living with my husband for over 3 years but we're not legally married yet. I'm starting to worry if the certificate will be ready by the interview date.
Thanx!

First you have to apply for a marriage licence in the red court building in downtown Dallas. The license will be issued on the spot. You can marry after 72 hours after the license was issued. Once you get married, the JP will take your license, stamp and sign it and mail it back to you. They say that it may take 3 weeks but usually it comes back within 10 days. Please plan your marriage accordingly.

She doesn't have to get married in Dallas. As long as she lives in the area covered by the Dallas office, she can get married in any state she wants to. :)
We got married in New Mexico and got the marriage licence and certificate on the same day.

Thanx EricNeesGC and HappyGirl for your replies!
Probably I'll have to get married in Dallas because I don't think my husband will be able to travel.
The problem is I'm still in my home country and I have no idea when I'll be able to go. Maybe in the end of october.
Well, with this information you gave me I can plan my marriage and think about the options we've got.
Thank you very much.

You're still in your home country?
What visa will you be entering the US with?

hi....
I did my FP a month ago. should be worried becouse my on line status didnt change since then?

Thanks
 
Hi,
I don't think you need to worry.
Quite a few people have said that their online status was never updated and they were still approved. :)

Hi DORA's Friends

I have a Question: do you think it is worth to apply for Social Security Number during our Adjustment of Status considering that our wait is " not supposed" to take so long?

Thank you so much! :)

EricNeesGC you were right. I received the welcome letters on my mail box on September 26, 2005. My online status was updated on September 29, 2005. My case was approved just 7 days before the DV Immigrant Progams ends.
I was very frustrated because I thought I will never get my case approved before September 30, 2005.
I can't still believe it. I will when I get the actual card on my mail box.
Good luck to everybody, I will keep my fingers crossed for all of you.
Those who are married to US citizens will eventually get their cases approved... so keep waiting patienly... I know it is not easy, but think positive.
My case was approved around day 107th after the DORA interview.
Here is the chronology of events on my case:

June 6, 2005: I-485 file and interview through DORA program
June 23, 2005: FP done at Bellflower, CA
(no 70th day letter received)
Sept. 5-6, 2005: 90 days passed from the interview and no info on our case status
Sept. 22, 2005: Online status changed to: "On July 6 results from your FP were received...."
Sept. 26, 2005: Letters received on mail. Letters were dated Sept. 22, 2005
 
I received my 70 day letter yesterday with an appointment for October 13 to go and get my EAD. I've decided to just wait for the green card.
I don't think I want to drive the 7 hours to Dallas and fork out another $175 when I can just wait another few weeks!
It's nice to know that they haven't forgotten about me though. :D

I see based on your timeline below that you were able to complete your fingerprints by walking in. I got my letter tonight and it says to wait for USCIS to schedule my appointment. What ASC office did you do to get your fingerprints done?

Has anyone walked in with such a letter? and what was the outcome. Thanks.

Hi,

The USCIS letter said that they will schedule my appointment, but so far I have not received any email, phone call or letter in the mail. ASC office did not ask me any questions. FP within 15 minutes... I hope this helps,
