Interview Date : June 20th
POE : Newark NJ
DOE : July 4th
Guess it is too early to expect anything from BCIS. After reading the posts, I am bit concerned about the 'missing' photograph issue, which inturn delays the PC. Interestly though the consular officer in Chennai has stapled my photographs and my wife's snaps together to her passport.
Is the immigration officer at the POE supposed to take these off or they have a separate set in the documents ( in the enclosed envelope) ?
Thanks

Photographs in the packet
There is photograph on top of the immigrant visa, which an individual gets on his/her sucessful interview. The reason the consular officer gave back a photograph with the passport is due to the reason that it was an extra photograpgh submitted by you.
Everything is normal in your case. You were not supposed to give any photograph on the POE. Only fingerprints are taken at the POE.
You should receive the welcome letters and the plastic card pretty soon.
Thanks.

As cpDelhi has already posted this is a normal procedure. When
they ask for 3 photographs , they (the consulate) are stapling
the 3rd un-signed photograph to the individual's passport.
One reason I see is, this helps if the appearance of the person
changes over the period.
In your case they may have stapled both of them to one passport
by oversight.

how long
How long it's going to take to get welcome letters, PC and new SSN.
My aprtment property owenr decided to convert the current apartments to condomnium homes and asking us to move into a highraise building in the same complex by Augyst 4th, they are provinding moving compensation + two months free rent as well but I must move.
My POE is in chicago and DOE is on July 8th. Do you think I can get cards by then (August end), I am also going to get special provision to keep mail box until mid sep.
Do you think I will get all my stuff by then or is it better to update them with the new address right away.
Thanks,

Re: plastic cards rcvd
Congrats sriram. Looks like it will be about 5 weeks since DOE for Newark to process and get a PC. I entered on July 4th, have to wait for some more time I guess.
BTW, what kind of post did you get the cards in?
Is it ordinary post or not?
Is anything written (special instructions)on the envelope, to say that it is from INS/BCIS and not to forward etc? I will be moving from my current residence this month end, and planning to give a forwarding address at the Post office. Hope this should not create any problem.
Thanks

PC recieved
DOE: June 12
POE: Detroit
Welcome letters: July 1
PC: July 18.
PC is received by ordinary post. Does not mention where it comes from. On the top window it says " PO Box 75148, Mesquite, TX.
On the bottom window will be our address.
You cannot make out what it is. Sometimes you may throw that away in the bunch of credit card solicitation letters!
Comes in ordinary post. Not even first class. Just like mass mailing letters.
Thanks,

Did not see mention of SSN card in your latest posting. Does it have middle name missing as well?
How important is it to insist on middle name on PC and SSN???
Thanks.
