    Thank you Sakha13. Indeed I had a 1996 cabarnet that I had been waiting for a few years to open for this day. Incidentally, after waiting too long, I couldnt wait longer and I had opened it just a few weeks ago. But I plan to buy a Chateau Montelena red to celebrate . Cheers

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."

    My PD Dec 4th 2007 . I've been in a state of delightful shock for the last few hours. I'm grateful to this forum and all gurus and contributors who take their valuable time to answer and share their experiences and insights. I've personally gained a lot from the stories I hear here on this forum and knowledge I stood to gain over the last 2.5 yrs .

    I'm specially looking forward to seeing Indiani's approval . Indiani, I think you should get yours this week. I'm rooting for your approval.


    Congratulations Eb_Dec07 !!!!
    Enjoy the moment...

    Congrats... 2008 was a good year for Montelena cabs. If you get older vintages even better... 2008 is still pretty young for my taste I would also recommend an 2008 Jean Louis Chave St. Joseph.. slightly on the expensive side but its excellent!

    EB2 Dec 07,

    Congratulations, Happy for you. You should have your GC in hand by Saturday or latest by Monday.

    I know, we have atleast four to five more approvals to come, including Indiani. Looking forward to see those approval posts.

    "Service records indicate that your recently approved I-140 petition has been connected with your I-485 application. Further, your I-485 application is currently assigned to an officer. Although assigned, we cannot predict the date the case may actually receive review.

    If you have not received a decision or other notice of action on this case within 90 days, please contact us for updates."

    Response to attorney's office from uscis today ,
    paralegal sent an e-mail on august 1st reminding them that PD is current for me.
    I have applied concurrently 140+485 in april 2012 ( with request to retain old PD nov 2007 which was on old-140) , so this attachment doesn't make much sense as the 2nd and latest 140 and the one and only 485 are applied together .

    Is Indiani the only one EB2I on our forum current in August still waiting for his GC?

    The trackitt unapproved cases data appears more unreliable the more closely we read it.

    just now I went through many profiles in November 2007 who are pending approval in august, some just posted message that they got GC but never updated, some have never updated their profile in more than a year.

    Overall the people who are left are perhaps few (3-4) thousands total at the max.,

    with 8 business days left (+ some Saturday approvals), I think we just need few good approval days to finish almost all cases.

    Looks like my cases are going through approval a second time.. weired.. Received another round of decision emails today.. the first pair is with USPS in transit..

    On August 20, 2013, 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.

    Your Case Status: Decision


    On August 15, 2013, 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.

    I haven't got my approval yet, but got a response to the interlinking email I sent on Aug 2nd (on Aug 20). It mentions that my case has already been interlinked and assigned to an officer. They cannot predict when it will be approved but if I don't hear within 90 days to contact USCIS.

    The good news is that it's assigned to an officer, but I heard the same news from my infopass appointment on Aug 6th, and it's still the same even after 2 weeks. Is this normal or only interfiling cases left as such?

  16. #566
    Was wondering if SR is required as my company immigration lawyers are going to send USCIS a letter to process my case in sept when I will become current. Will this be like a SR? Infopass is another thing I guess. What is the difference between SR and attorney letter? Thank you in advance for your answers.

    I called USCIS and opened a SR as it has been 60 days since my case status changed to "RFE Response Review". I was told that the SR will be assigned to an officer within 15 days and I should expect a response within 30 days. I have no hope.

    Thank you for your kind words. I am hoping for the best myself, but there is this tiny voice inside which reeks of pessimism. Too many negative experiences will do that

  22. #572
    I believe pessimism is a natural reaction keeping in mind that no one in "that" organization follows a standard process. I have been fighting with myself to stop thinking of what if scenarios as I have no way to know what is going on

    If you have a minute, can you respond to my PM

    Thnx!

    Thanks pakkineni.. good to know that.. It is sad to see such erroneous steps when hundreds of folks are still waiting for a decision. I hope they don't waste any more time and processing on approved cases..

    Hi,

    I think it is a bug in their system and don't think manual intervention is there in the process. I actually got six emails with various statuses going back and forth after I got my approval email. It even went back to 'Initial Review' and I panicked a bit but heard several people got similar emails as well. For all practical purposes, you can just dis them. You should be getting the physical cards almost a week after your approval email.

    BTW, I even got an email about my EAD approval six months after I got my GC.

    Para-legal working on my case suggested info-pass. How long will it take to get appointment , does it make any difference?
