Bang on. Senators office was willing to help to send it too..but I said why not check once more. Jan 29th in production!
Is your expedite done?

Not done. It's a long story. We submitted our request with the applications on 03-16-18. They simply ignored it and probable tossed away the evidence of the emergency. So now 13 phone calls later, finally the request was acknowledged, but they need evidence - not ADDITIONAL... but evidence. In other words, some mailroom worker tossed what we mailed on 03-16-18. I have been trying to fax to those 2 numbers at all times of the day and night. Nothing.

The Senator inquiry got all messed up because we changed our address, so now the USCIS congressional unit told the senator there was a discrepancy with our address. Ok, fine. Yes, we did move but we maintain both addresses. I have been in Minnesota since 2010. I am registered to vote there too. SO WHAT if I want to have 3 homes or 4 or 9?

Instead of acknowledging that USCIS made an error by ignoring the requests, it seems the congressional unit is looking for ways to dismiss the request. The whole thing is backwards. And of course, both senators in NC are republican. LOL

So I am just hoping that whole thing about my case being assigned to an officer for response of 06-13-18 does in fact mean that we are in line for interviews. I am thinking that "interview scheduled" updates will start going out between tonight and next Monday.

Do you have the same fax number?

UScitizenFilingforspouse,
What is your last line of signature meaning? Just curious... did you call the level 3?? How did you reach out to level 3? (I thought there are only 2 levels).

There are many levels. The level 3 also reached out to his supervisor (level 4) while we were discussing my case. I just keep getting my call escalated until I get someone who has answers that make sense. Telling me that the Case Inquiry date of May 20th, 2016 is the date of the cases that the Raleigh office is processing, is a giveaway that the officer does not know what he/she is doing. So I keep escalating after I explain to them that is not what the case inquiry date is.

Disclaimer: "Do not try this at home"

Either way, they are not immigration officers. They're all at the contact center "out-West". They're not at the NBC.

All the best,

USCFFS

Thanks for the website! Things were actually updated there, it shows that my card is being produced but it doesn't state that it has been mailed yet. God no, I don't trust them at all. I was just a little puzzled because I've never heard of that before. I'll be heading over to the post office on Monday. Thanks for the help!

Use ask emma to get usps info. It will show update on that page when its shipped with tracking info. But emma knows it all.

Here is link to the dhs website. This is the account you would also use to renew your 10-year green card or to replace a green card.

If you do not want to leave anything to chance, then follow my advice. Otherwise, trust USPS with your combo card. Up to you...

Thank you! Where on the DHS website can you check that? I've only been able to check updates on egov.uscis.gov. Also, sign a form at the post office? Is that necessary? Previously when I've had certified mail that they couldn't deliver cause no one was around to sign for it, I got a notice left on my door to pick it up at the post office and sign for it. Would this be different? I've never heard of having to sign a form to allow them to just hold the mail for me.

Congratulations!!! Know that the updates are hit or miss. The ?New Card being produced? update can be seen on both websites - DHS and egov.uscis.gov.

Most importantly, make sure you do not miss the mailing of the card. It?s certified mail. While certified mail requires a Signature, that has not been consistent lately either.

I would run to your post office and sign a form that authorizes the post office to hold any certified mail for you.

All the best!

Got two letters in the mail today, my EAD and AP has been approved! Today is day 155 for me.

Now question, how long does it take for the card to be mailed to me? I haven't seen any updates online about a card being produced or even that it's been approved. How long should I expect it to take? A week or two?

Hi guys,


I have a quick question about the interview. So I am planning on bringing an EXACT copy of my original filing package (I485, I130, I765, etc) and an exact copy of the RFIE response I had sent to them. In additional, I will bring all the documents outlined in the 797C interview notice. I know that the Officer will definitely look at the ORIGINAL passports, birth certificates, marriage certificate but will they (yet again) need a copy of those? Technically, they already have copies of everything (multiple copies to be exact). I am just afraid that by NOT bringing a copy, they will want to keep my originals.

Ideally, I would recommend having two exact copies of your AOS applications + bona fide marriage evidence + civil documents; just in case you get separated. They do have copy machines in the building, though. You probably do not want to bother the ISO with that. If you do not want to leave anything to chance, then bring extra copies for them to keep if needed.

All the best,

USCFFS

Well I had the same question as u and was advised to take copies along with originals.
However, the officer didn't want the original (he said he already had the copies of civil documents when I mailed the package). I guess he trusted me? IDK. So it was a waste of ink and paper for me but u just never know so just follow the instructions 😒
