Ok, here's the timeline...
I got my green card through asylum in september 2008. In October 2008, i decided to apply for an rtd based on my permanent resident status. I got a notice date from uscis on 10/31/2008. A few weeks later in November, i got my biometrics appointment and got them done on 11/29/2008. Today i receive an e-mail that my travel document has been approved and mailed out. I never requested any expedited process on my rtd application and I was thinking since most people were waiting at least 5 months for rtd these days that i would get mine in April of 2009 or so. I am shocked...Are they that fast these days...uscis processing times still say that they are working on rtd applications received in March 2008. Just wanted to let all of you know and happy holidays.
