IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresPhysical Green card
Hi everyone,

Update on my Green card replacement, Wednesday letter of approval received, if no card after 30 days contact USCIS,
Thursday went into town for the mail, quess what??? My Green Card, at last, good now for 10 years. Friday in the mail two more approval notices dated same date as the first one, from same office. Who is the crazy one?.

Hoep everyone else who is waiting for 2yr or 10yr card is successful in the very near future. My journey has been full of problems, but we are sorted now. good.gif

Congratulations Saywhat on receiving your GC. Mine is still been sorted out somewhere, as I said earlier they approved my replacement card (never received first one), sent it to production, then both reopened and reclosed the file on Oct 22nd. Senators's assistant has had contactwith USCIS adn hasn't got any more news for me. Newsfrom USCIS was 14th Dec. Going to make an infopass apt, to see if I can get an extension stamp in my passport.
Will update as and when anything happens. mad.gif helpsmilie.gif


Don't have the GC yet but got the welcome letter - which is about as welcoming in it's terms as a letter from an ex wife's lawyer. Why does everyone gush over me at the supermarket and tell me how wonderful and important I am, but not in a real situation like immigration. Could it be 'money'

As they say in the song 'write it on a pound note'

Or

a bird in the bush is worth 2 in the disco

Yes once these things get really mixed up then it takes ages to sort out - if my GC comes and is ok then it will be a huge relief..

If you can get a 12 month extension stamp in your passport, that will take the pressure off you and you can put the pressure on them at your own pace..

That sounds like the best move right now...

Cowgirl,

Waited the stated 30days from May 15th 2007 then rang them, told to re-file 1-90, did this without fee as I had never received GC, letter sent back saying re-file and pay $260, then by the time I had the money went up to $370, filed in Sept 2007, had biometrics done again (they have a lot of biometrics and pics of me), still waiting.

Thanks for your replies, my I-90 was sent to Texas the first time and I quess that's where it stayed, some little Mexican is using it to cross the border or has sold it. My second I-90 was mailed to California, then sent to Lee's Summit, Missouri. My biometrics were taken again in Helena, MT. That's 360miles from where we live, but is the local field office.

Hi Saywhat, where in West Yorkshire are you from? I lived in Oxenhope, Nr. Keighley about 2miles from Haworth, famous for the Bronte Sisters and the Steam Railway.

I came back into the US on 7th April 2007 via Philadelphia, after having to have another medical in London and three visits to the Embassy, due to me not renewing my Visa, read the wrong date on a trip back to Uk to see my Mum & Son.
Entered Philadelphia and gave Immigration my paperwork, he stamped my passport with Temp !-551 Stamp good for 1 year. Notice of action 15th May, my Green Card (10year was on its way). Never arrived, contacted USCIS via 800 number, told to re-file and Pay again, of course fees had gone up. Got hold of my Senator, he received same story pay again. Green card sent out and not returned to PO. Finally sent I-90 again and $370 waited 30 days, no Green card, spoke to USCIS again, did a service request, letter from them in November , - "Wait 6month's if your card doesn't arrive contact us again". Senator trying to sort it out, says it is a farce. Why does it take sooo long to produce a replacement card when the original only took 1 month. Does someone just say it's been mailed and use the fee??
I never got AOS as I waited two years for a FBI Check, no-one seems to know what happened to my paperwork.

Now been married over 4 years and still waiting.
