Hi All,

I posted last month that I had I-751 interview in Chicago on the 22nd of Oct. I was hoping to get some insight into the process but got no response.

Anyway we wen to the interview and it didn't go well as planned. Due to our jobs being in different cities we have a weird situation wher I'm in Chicago and my wife in Peoria. I work in consulting so it's sort of the norm. My long term project is in Chicago and my wife's family is in Peoria and she wanted to be close to her family. Not to mention her job too.

According to the interviewer he didnt like the living arrangement and grilled my wife for an hour. He only asked me generic questions and told me to go wait outside.

My wife came out crying and the interviewer had told her he thought we were staging this whole thing and how he would deport me and put her in jail.

To make a long store a bit shorter. Today I checked my case status and and this is what I see:

Application Type: CRI89, PETITION TO REMOVE CONDITIONS OF PERMANENT RESIDENT STATUS RECEIVED

Current Status: Approval notice sent.

On November 25, 2008, we mailed you a notice that we have approved this CRI89 PETITION TO REMOVE CONDITIONS OF PERMANENT RESIDENT STATUS RECEIVED. Please follow any instructions on the notice. If you move before you receive the notice, call customer service.


Does that mean it's approved, or could this be a mistake. The interviewer said he would not approve the case and would put me in some sort of removal procedings.

Could he have changed his mind? or someone higher up? I'm not wanting to celebrate yet as this could be a mistake.

If this is the approval, then how long before getting the card. I was originally planning on traveling sometime in Dec/Jan but was put on hold due to the interview not going well.

Thank you in advance for any comments, thoughts etc.

Looks like you were approved. I wouldn't sweat it. IO was testing you, but he obviously didn't have enough evidence to proceed any futher. You are married to a US citizen, you have the right to live and work here. The burden is on them to prove otherwise. I have always said that even when others on this board dissagree. Now just wait a week or two and see if you get your new PR 10 yr card. Congrats!

thanks trialanderror83

I know I should relax but as with anything with immigration i'm always nervous. Who knows how they operate and what they do. I hope everything is okay. We're buying a home in 2 weeks so I am hoping at least with immigration stuff we're fine.
