Hi Guys,
I have this question, because I decided to do the stupid thing to educate myself on what this could mean and now I am totally panicked. My husband filed I730 for me in Decmber 2006. case status was pending for more than a year, then I got Appointment notice for biometrics. (status changed to processing then) I had biometrics taken on April 2nd, then I checked again the case status online and here what it says:

Application Type: I730, REFUGEE ASYLEE RELATIVE PETITION

Current Status: Document mailed to applicant.

On March 31, 2008 we mailed the document to the address we have on file. You should receive the new document within 30 days. If you do not, or if you move before you get it, call customer service.


I saw all kinds of responses - BAD ones, like rejection and I'm terrified now. I still haven't received anything in mail and I have no idea what to think. If there is anyone who has received something like this knows what comes next, please respond. I really appreciate it. Thank you for your time and good luck to all of you

They just approve your husband's case.

Where did you file this application? Texas or Nebraska?
 
My hysband was granted an asylum in May 2006. So I guess it is nothing to do with him. I know for sure it is not an approval, because if it was it would say so. My lawyer called me yesterday to tell me that he got a copy of the appoinment notice for biometrics, which WAS dated March 31st. I do hope this is "the document" and not something like denial.

Oh, it was filed in TexasSC

I received the same message when they have approved my EAD application.

For my understanding, they just approve your I-730 application.
 
Thanks colocolo, hope you're right, but I also called the 1-800 number, chose the approved petitions option from the menu and when entered the receipt number the system does not recognize it, so it is not an approval. I am now afraid it is something bad. :( and I'm such a nice person :). I tried the same with the denials, but they don't have an option to put receipt number, they right away transfer you to a rep, and you can imagine I had no desire to talk fo anyone who deals with denied cases. They are scary people.

When did you file I730? How long does it take? You already have EAD. I need one desperately :) Guess i have to wait another 1-2-4-5-7-12 years (with my luck I would reach retirement age before I get Employment authorization)

If your husband is an asylee and you were married before the asylum approval, they don't have any reasons to deny your petition.

Actually, Nebraska is badly processing the I-730 application. I have filed an I-730 for my son since May 2006. His case is still pending and under review.
 
This is good to hear. We got married in January 2005, he filed for and asylum (no idea what form) in February 2005 and an immigration judge granted him asylum in May2006, and just then he filed for me. I really have no idea why our immigration lawyer filed for me in December and not right away. just wasted like 6 monts. I do hope they will approve your son's case soon. Wish you luck! and thanks for responding.
 
nnbllparker,
Congratulations. I am positive this is approval of ur I-730. Let me ask u a question, are u in USA now or still in home country?
Thanks
 
Hi Chang,
I hope you're right. I'm in USA. I'm stuck here :) already 7years. Came on B1/B2 visa, changed to F1 then was out of status.... now waiting for this... I got really scared today after what I read in other forums (but the denials receieved after peoples' status changed to document mailed to applicant were for I-485). But on the other hand if they were going to deny why would they send me an appointment for fingerprints?
 
nnbllparker,

Thanks for the reply. If u read the msg again it says new document which is evident that it is approval of ur I-730. I have my son's I-730 pending in NSC since Sep 2005. Before it was stuck with name check & now they say it is with an OFFICER. I don't know what it means with officer.
Did ur husband already get his GC?
Thanks
 
I can understand your anxiety, I'd feel the same way, but provided that everything your husband submitted along with the I-730 form is authentic, I really don't see the reason why they'd deny it. I'm pretty sure it's an approval. Good luck.

hi chang,
My husband filed I-90 and we received the other day a letter for him asking for some additional papers so they can process his application. His case is so very much complicated. Had a green card, which was withheld, then he went numerous times to the court and he was lucky to get a good judge, who advised his lawyer to apply for an asylum. So they did, he was granted one and then he applied for a replacement of the GC - currently waiting.
 
Hi

Still nothing in the mail. I will wait 15 more days and if nothing I will give them a call. I will post as soon as I know something. I won't forget ;)
 
Hi Guys,

An approval should be like this:

Application Type: I730, REFUGEE ASYLEE RELATIVE PETITION

Current Status: Approval notice sent.

On July 26, 2007, we mailed you a notice that we have approved this I730 REFUGEE ASYLEE RELATIVE PETITION. Please follow any instructions on the notice. If you move before you receive the notice, call customer service.

When can an I730 beneficiary (in USA) apply for green card? A year after I-730 is approved?


Thank you!
