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

DoraApplicant,

If you don't mind, could you please share your gender and nationality?

Thanks

No, we did not receive any congratulations letter. Since we were dating long distance the AO wanted us to submit airline tickets proofs that we were visiting each other. So we dropped the ticket proofs at the INS office a day after the interview. You cannot mail anything in for the DORA program, you have to drop it off with the security guards.

Hello,

I have received Welcome to the USA letter. It says that your new card will expire two years from when you became a permanent resident. By law your resident status is conditional, and you must apply to remove those conditions before your card expires.Question: I went through DORA, like many of you guys. Is this normal that 90 days program approves conditional Resident status for 2 years or permanent green card (10 years validity). I have not received card yet. Any suggestion?

Thanks,

GJ

i still dont understand what's the criteria for a speedy approval.

Hope we can receive some good news soon.-

It's normal for them to give you a 2 year conditional green card.
The only way you'll get a 10 year card is if you've been married for 2 or more years when your case is approved.

I am really upset, And Sad... I was talking to my wife yesterday, I HOPE SOMEONE CAN HELP ME...

My wife was sexually molested all during her childhood, she said that during the interview, the officer asking about last sexual intercourse, her underwear, what can protection does she use, if we really have intercourse, my wife said yes I love him, and all that sexual answers brought her flashbacks and she got shocked, blocked and offended, at the end they FORCE her to sign a paper writing, but before they told her IF YOU DONT SIGN THIS YOU GO TO JAIL, IF YOU SIGN IT NOTHING ITS GOING TO HAPPEN YO TOU OR YOUR HUSBAND, I WILL DROP THE PETITIONS BUT WRITE HERE THAT HE IS YOUR FRIEND AND A $0!... she was feeling bad and she just signed and wanted to leave,.

She didnt tell me u ntil yesterday, 2 months later, crying and feeling bad, she didnt want to hurt me, she blocked it, but she changed after the interview, she is like blocked all the time, like in a bubble

and I just went to the wFinger prints can someone help me with this, we have not sleep, Ihave lost weight, not just we are suffering, our parents, mother and father are suffering, both sisters, every one that know us it's concern...

joe_jose · Oct 6, 2005

Added to all this, my wife told the officer she loved me, the officer said you look like an Odd couple,I see this all the time, She called me GAY just because she considered me as handsome and good looking,isn't that discrimination?? my wife got in shock, her selfesteem was on the floor, We are both HISPANIC, we both speak spanish but I am white, and she is mexican puertorican, I am mexican-spanish (maybe she wanted us to bring an amateur porn film as a bonafide proof or a Baby when we just have 2 months of being married

I called the USCIS customer service about a two weeks ago. The main reason I called was to find out why my file is in NBC whereas the case should be processed in Dallas DO. She told me that NBC acts as a holding place for all the files. All the processing for DORA is done in Dallas and once everything is completed, they request NBC to order a card for the applicant.

Since my case has been holding up for such a long time, she offered to send an inquiry to Dallas District Office on my case. She said that I should hear from Dallas DO within 3 – 4 weeks on a status. On asking if they will just give me the current status or will actually inquire about the delay, she said that they will do a complete follow-up internally as well as FBI and send me a summary status.

Yesterday I got a letter from USCIS stating that my case could not be completed at this time due to delays in FBI name check process and that I should not make further inquiry for 6 months.

Well…this was an expected answer. When the USCIS customer server rep. told me that the Dallas DO will do a complete inquiry internally as well as with FBI, I was skeptical but tried to be positive and gave myself some hope. Well, now I got what I expected to begin with. Someone tell me…HOW THE HELL DO WE GET A RESPONSE FROM FBI?

I have done FOIPA, inquiry email, approached a senator, approached a congressman, approached USCIS, several infopass and nothing seems to work.

Anyone has other ideas?

Hope this helps.

Thanks

Eric

Hi Folks,
Does DORA issue EAD the same day? What about AP how long does this one takes?

Please shed some light on these questions!

Thank you in advance.

Piyalove

HappyGirl · Oct 8, 2005

You don't apply for an EAD while using the DORA program as you should receive your GC within 90 days (the same time it takes to process an EAD). However, if the USCIS feel they can't process your application within that time, they'll send you a letter with an appointment to go and apply for an EAD at the Dallas office. If that happens, you will receive it on the same day.
I also think I'm right in saying that you can't apply for AP either - for the same reason as above.
