I730 - Document mailed to applicant. What to expect?

Hi Guys

I tried to call today the 1-800 number - could not reach anyone. :( - I still have no information. The document sent on March 31st, 2008 appeared to be the copy for the biometrics appointment sent to my lawyer. Or at least this is what he says. I have another question. If you happen to know. By any chance did they change something so I can apply for employment authorization having this I730 still in process or I have to wait for approval. This is a long wait. Passed fingerprints on April 2nd and still nothing.... How long does it take? TSC I'm talking about...Why, why so slooow? Is it just me, or is this how they are in general


Oh, by thw way the husband got his green card back in July I think.. or June
 
I got the approval YAY!!!

No hearings, no nothing... just the approval notice came surprisingly in the mail. And the online info at uscis website is still not updated, but this is really not important. The important thing is I am now in status and I can get my EAD in about a month (or at least I hope so) and SSN. well, what is a month compared to 8 years of waiting, right?
Thank you so much for the support and I wish you all the best from the bottom of my heart. Good luck!!!
 
Congratulations nnbllpaper.

It seems like the backlogged ones are still facing the consequences of USCIS' inability while the newer applicants are gaining a lot. My father knows 3 compatriots who got their asylum approved less than a year ago and two of them have already had their family join them while the third one's family is flying in by the second week of April.

Now compare that with my own case. I've had my case approved 18 months after it was filed while my mother's and brother's cases haven't still been approved. Funny thing is, they sent a couple of notices to my father saying they'd make a decision or send us further notice, should they require some additional documents. It was sent about 58 days ago and the notice clearly said that they'd be making decision in 60 days. All this, after submitting 4-5 documents verifying the family relationship between my family. But what can one do except wait.
 
Hey Walker

I really hope that your waiting will be over soon and your family will receive good news.
I remember I saw here people who have filed just a few monts ago have gotten their approvals, but you're right - nothing you can do...Hopefully someone would wake up there and do their job, as it is not fair to the people who have filed so long ago and are still waiting.
Good luck!
 
Appreciate your words nnbllparker.

60 days have passed and still no words.

This is just ill-fate I guess. Could've been worse but could've been much nicer. First, my dad's case received a recommended approval ( took him 18 months to get his approval ), then 18 months for my I-730 to get approved and my mother and brother's cases haven't still been approved.
 
I guess I should consider myself lucky. It took me 27 months to get my aproval (at first I put 15 months, but then I realized I was wrong with one whole year). I just got my I94 from my lawyer.... (I so much don't like this guy...Don't really know for what reason, but definitely not my favorite person, and yet, I am grateful to him, because 3 other lawyers before that did not want to deal with my case). Please let me know when you have news, I will be checking.
