aonflux said:Hi guys,

I am getting welcome letters (more than 1) after about 3 weeks.

POE: Boston
DOE: March 30, 2005
Service Center: TSC
Received 1st Welcome Letter: April 23, 2005
Received 2nd Welcome Letter: April 25, 2005
Received GC (without SSN even when SSN selected): April 26,2005
aonflux said:I've been back since 3 weeks and I haven't received my welcome letter or GC or social security card. Anyone else with a similar experience? Thanks!
Are you going to get a new social security card? did you have an old card??
aonflux said:I have a social security number already but wanted a new card (same number) without the restriction on it.
In some areas it is taking more than 5 weeks for the new card with the SS card. I have heard of one case in which it took 4 months to get a new card. If one needs a new SS number,the local SS office can be contacted with Passport with IV. (they may entertain such a request only after 3-4 week from DOE).
In my case, I entered about 4 weeks back at DFW and got 4 welcome letters. But my wife who enterd with me got none. She feels I am more welcomed to US than she is...

And did you receive your plastic card? Thanks. Yes I don't feel at all welcome.. ahhaha.

Nope. But, the endoresed VISA is as valid as card for another 11 months, so I will contact Service center after about 5-6 months if I dont recieve the plastic card by then.

Thanks! I heard that on the welcome letter is a LIN, EAC, SRC or EAC number which you can use to track your plastic card. Atleast you have that.
Got a notice with an SRc number
And when I look up that number on USCIS.gov the message says
Application Type:*OS155A, IMMIGRANT VISA AND ALIEN REGISTRATION
Your OS155A IMMIGRANT VISA AND ALIEN REGISTRATION was received on April 20, 2005. We mailed you a receipt with information about processing. It is taking between 30 and 60 days for us to process this kind of case. We will mail you a decision as soon as processing is complete.
What does this mean?

That notice should be the 'Welcome Letter'.. Does it state..'Welcome to Unites States....'?
The Card should be on its way soon.
BTW, I received the Card today; 32 days after DOE.

More than 3 years past but nothing received. I try to check processing dates with bcis web site, but it is useless. Also I entered receipt number, I can not find anything. Who can help me on this. My receipt number starts with SRC.
Thanks.
