Hi,
Last month we got AOS approval for my spouse and for myself. When we went to the Local INS Office ( Jacksonville,FL ) on Nov 26 , we were given ( and all of the other green card related cases were processed the same way ) a temporary Permanent Resident Status on our passports for 1 month and told us to come back ( we were given an appointment so that we can avoid the Q ) on Dec 26 when we will be given 1 year Permanent Resident Status like before and thereafter we will get the actual green card by mail. When I asked the immigration office why this is being done, he said that INS has started this new procedure since a week back.
Is there any one who got similar experience?

Thanks in advance.

i never heard of such thing. officer must have been smoking ...

call your attorney and find out if the law has been changed recently.
 
It could be the effect of this recent slowdown/freeze...

By the way can you please post your exact approval date for tracking purposes? For time being I am taking it as 11/13

Thanks

My friend is a citizen, he applied for GC for wife and recently she got a GC stamped for 2 year to be further renewed after 2 years, some more paperwork. Past few years GC were stamped for 10 years , before that they were stamped with no time limits. Looks like this is how its going to be in future, initial GC for short time which would give them time for further checks.
 
That means more paperwork for INS which translates into further delays in our processing. Gawd I could scream. It is like our relationship with our lawyers is going to be ever lasting, every couple of year we will need to go to them for the paperwork, get screwed for cash and then get screwed by INS for their pleasure.

Man it sucks!
