But I got a text/email few mins back that "On August 18, 2014, we mailed you a notice that we had registered this customer's new permanent resident status. Please follow any instructions on the notice. Your new permanent resident card should be mailed within 60 days following this registration or after you complete any ADIT processing referred to in the welcome notice, whichever is later. " Is this something to worry about or just wait for few days and call the number?

Thanks in advance and appreciate your responses.

Congrats Texan! Appreciate kind words. 'Selfless' is a big word. I can't claim to be entirely selfless. But I will try to live by it.

Wish you the very best.

Exactly 6 years to the date...ago a Priority date was assigned to our labor petition. Two kids, H4 renewals, SAHM, Back in the work force, later...we have our Green Card in our hands today. What a coincidence.

As of last Tuesday, having a GC in hand seemed impossible with TSC being so slow..Oh! How much can change overnight!

I may not have been a regular participant, but I knew where to go and ask questions when I had them! Thanks to this forum and everyone who gives their time here!

Hey .... finally you got it without HR3012! Congratulations. As Mao said - it doesn't matter if the cat is black or white as long as it kills the mouse.
Enjoy the freedom.

I got my card production e-mail today!!! (PD OCT 08 NSC) Soon after that I got another e-mail and it changed to decision.
My journey has come to an end and can't say how relieved I am to have made it through this year. This is a big deal for me as it will help me switch from Academia to a smaller studio setting where sponsorship is always an issue. This blog has been invaluable and has been a constant companion - it helped me cope with the whole process, thanks Q for starting such a wonderful resource. Thanks Spec, Viz (hope you get yours soon), Kanmani, Teddy, Nishant, Sportsfan, Matt 2012 and many others!
To good times!! Wishing everyone the very best and hope everyone pending gets their permanent residence this year.

Thanks Q!
Me and my roommate from grad school, we had a theme song from the movie 'Triplets De Belleville', we used to play it on long road trips, camping trips, late night parties, it was our song and we always started with it. Brings back good memories, hence Triplet!

Closure to this process brings extreme relief! I'm so glad it is over and I am happy I persevered, partly thanks to this blog! So thanks again for all those who have contributed immensely to the blog, it is a beacon of hope for many!
Viz, I hope we hear good news from you this week, I know everyone here is willing you to get it, or willing USCIS to give you your green card!

Thanks everyone for your congratulatory messages, truly appreciate it!

Hi everyone... Good news at last. Status changed to Card/Document Production this morning at 10:15 AM EST.

PD: Nov 2008 | RD: Mar 2012 | RFE: 23-Jun-2014 | RFE Replied: 14-Jul-2014 |RFE Officer ID: xm0136 | Status changed from RFE to Card Document Production this morning around 10 PM EST.

I got the following message. I hope this is it. I've become so cynical I can't believe it is actually the final stage. Am I really approved? :-)

I joined Q's forum only couple of weeks ago. I didn't know about this forum until then. But I have been following and posting in Trackitt for some time.
Thanks to everyone who shared their information, shared frustrations and encouragement. I've had more help here than my attorney or employer. I wish everyone gets it by November. Even better I hope they recapture visas and approve everyone.

-----------------
Application Type: I485 , APPLICATION TO REGISTER PERMANENT RESIDENCE OR TO ADJUST STATUS

Your Case Status: Card/ Document Production

On August 22, 2014, we ordered production of your new card. Please allow 30 days for your card to be mailed to you. If we need something from you we will contact you. If you move before you receive the card, call customer service at 1-800-375-5283.

This step applies to applications that result in an applicant receiving a card (such as a "green card") or other document (such as a naturalization certificate, employment authorization document, travel document, or advance parole). Applications will be in this step from the time the order to produce the card/document is given until the card/document is produced and mailed to the applicant. You can expect to receive your card/document within 30 days of the approval of your application.

If you do not receive your document, please contact our National Customer Service Center at 1-800-375-5283.
