Hi all :

I got the following email this morning. I did not the Card production email. Does the below mean that the green card is approved? What is ADIT processing mentioned below?

Decision

On August 22, 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. If you move before receiving your card, please call our customer service center at 1-800-375-5283.

During this step the formal decision (approved/denied) is written and the decision notice is mailed and/or emailed to the applicant/petitioner. You can use our current processing time to gauge when you can expect to receive a final decision.

Thanks all. its really a major milestone. I entered the US on 8/23/1999 as a student and exactly 15 years later (to the date), I became a permanent resident.

Folks : I received only the decision email this morning and not card production email (Please see message above). Does this still mean that it is approved?

thanks Jagan and all others. Good luck to all .

I'll say this... I thought I'd be happy when I got the GC but I was more relieved than happy. USCIS (and TSC) really takes the fun out of it :) Maybe when i get the physical card in my hand, it'll be party time. The next 2 weeks might also bring some career good news. I'm in the final round of interviews with a top I-bank. So if that comes through double party!

Finally CPO but only for me

I got my CPO mail today about hour and a half ago, but its only for me. My wife's status still shows RFERR. So, not sure if its something to worry about or its just delayed.

Thanks to all Gurus and everyone else. Have been following this forum since its inception and can't recall a day when I didn't check it.

Don't know if I am happy or relieved or worried why wife's status didn't change. I just don't feel any different (I used to think I will scream with joy when it happens).

So finally 9.5 years after entering US on H1-B and 5 years 11 months after filing for PERM , I am now a Permanent Resident.

Thanks everyone and good luck to the people still waiting. Hang in there....

My details are in the signature below. Let me know if anyone wants to find anything else.

Received "Card Production" email/SMS this morning for me and my wife followed by Decision email/SMS.

Thank you Q, Spec, all the gurus and contributors of this forum. Its been a quite a long journey and was a great experience travelling along with your comments/predictions. A BIG THANKYOU for all the hardwork/effort you put in to give the hope and ray of light at the end of the tunnel which doesn't seem to have an end at time.

Congratulations for the people who are current and got their GC. All the best for the folks who are waiting, I know its anxious but hang in there, there is always a good ending to every journey.

So I've heard these terms thrown around for post CPO events/docs - Welcome notice, welcome packet, Approval notice, tracking #s. Is there a sequence to these? Are the notices similar to I797s?

I guess I can wait and find out but today is a slow day at work with most of the bosses already gone to the damn hamptons for the weekend.
