Hi Gurus,
I request your advise on getting my plastic card after stamping has already been done.
Please see details on sequence of events below
1) I-485 approved and I-89/I-551 passport stamping done. It has be about 3 months since
I-89/I-551 passport stamping.
2) I changed mailing address thru INS call center, which was updated in the INS system.
INS sent letter that there was a date in the I-89 form that was missing. In the letter,
INS did not specifiy what date was missing but did say that the said INS Service Center
was experiencing 6 months to 1 yr of delays. No next steps etc. were mentioned in that
letter.
3) INS call center Immigration Officers also could not find out what date was missing in
the I-89 form. They said to talk to INS Support Center i.e. same place I-89/I-551 stamping
was done.
4) A new I-89 was filed at the INS Support Center along with photocopies of INS letter and
passport stamp. It has been over a month since that time.
Q1) Was filing a new I-89 the right thing to do? I hope it does not cause confusion.
Q2) Is there anything I can do to expedite the plastic card publishing?
Q3) Is my I-551 stamp as good as a plastic card?
Please advise.
