If you have signed up for email updates or check the website frequently, your first sign of being approved is seeing "Card Production Ordered" in an email or online status.

Otherwise your first sign of approval is when you receive a letter from USCIS saying you're approved. That usually shows up 3-5 days - 2 weeks before the card itself.

My GC showed up in the mail yesterday! Woo!

Besides the card design itself, several aspects of it are very different than when I received my 2-year GC:

The envelope, for starters. It was sent in a 6"x9" USPS flat rate envelope, with a big window in the right half and a small window for the return address in the top left. The only thing showing through the small window was Laguna Niguel, CA, and a zip code. No external indication at all that the envelope came from USCIS at all, which is probably an important security measure, given how valuable a 10-year GC would be to some people. I wonder if they send the 2-year GCs this way now too?

The I-797D mailer inside has been completely redesigned. It's an 8 1/2" x 11" piece of paper folded only once, in half, to fit in the envelope. The older mailer was a light cardboard stock with a die-cut set of slots in it, with the card passed through it. The new mailer is a much lighter stock, more like medium bond paper (lighter than the normal I-797 NOA watermark stock). The GC is stuck to it by a sticky blob, the way credit cards are, instead of being put in slots in the paper. The text seems to have been nontrivially reworked, but I didn't compare it in detail.

The card itself feels a little thinner and lighter. If you've not seen pictures of the new design, the picture is now black and white (they let me smile at biometrics, and it's actually a pretty good picture of me. Too bad I won't be able to keep it after I get my citizenship!

The entire package, in fact gives the distinct impression that it's had significant cost-cuttign measures applied to it.

The little protective envelope that comes with the card is a much more rigid material than the almost vellum-type material the old envelope was. I couldn't tell at first, but the edge has worn a bit and you can see that there's a layer of foil in it, which is what allows it to protect against long distance RFID readers scanning the chip inside the card.

The other materials in the envelope are the same as what I got with my 2-year GC - a folded piece of cardboard that was holding the little protective envelope, and the Welcome to the US brochure for Permanent Residents.


Boy it feels good to have this step all finished and done with! Now begins the wait for citizenship eligibility, which for me begins on September 13, the day after my 3rd wedding anniversary. I've got the fee saved up and set aside already, and I've got this years tax transcript already ordered, so I'm already well on the way!

Good luck everybody! Yours are coming real soon now!

"NOA1" is local jargon for the first I-797 Notice of Action letter USCIS send you when you file a form with them. For Removal of Conditions, your NOA1 was your Extension Letter.

"Early Bio" next to a person's entry means that the person went to the USCIS office to do their biometrics appointment several days or weeks before their officially assigned biometrics appointment date. Some people decide to try this because it is inconvenient to get to their local USCIS office and they don't want to make an extra trip, or because they will be out of town on the official appointment day, etc. Some local USCIS offices allow people to do their biometrics appointment on a walk-in basis - many do not.

There is no need to be worried.

The CSC is only just now starting to get around to processing November 2011 I-751 filers. Your timeline is perfectly normal.
Also, it is perfectly normal to see no updates or touches on the case, and for it to stay in Initial Review, until the Card Production Ordered email.
Your chances of being interviewed, in the absence of any other factors, is less than 20%.

Just received my new card. I'm leaving town for an international trip late tonight, so I'm really excited that I won't have to carry the extension letter around.

Congratulations! That's awesome!

Have a good trip!

I think vartanarsen2 meant that he left it there when he went for the biometrics.
I don't think it matters, vartanarsen2, you are in the system.

I was never asked for the stamped bio notice ever again. I think the odds of them totally losing your record of proper attendance at your bio appointment is very very slim. You should be totally fine.

Isn't it funny how these processes can make us paranoid sometimes? :)

My approval letter showed up today. It indicates a proper approval date of March 28th, so I've updated the list and my timeline appropriately.

The letter itself is typewritten [Courier font] on normal white paper.

DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY

5272 S COLLEGE DRIVE
STE. 100
SALT LAKE CITY UT 84123-2611


Some interesting points about the letter, besides its not being printed on I-797 stock:
  • It has been folded by hand to fit an envelope, and inexpertly at that - in additon to the normal folded-into-thirds folds, the top inch of the sheet is also folded back.
  • It includes my A#, but without the "A" in front of it - just the nine digits thusly: ###-###-###.
  • It includes the correct decision date, which in this case is one day before the 2 card production ordered emails were sent.
  • It includes the classification symbol IF1 [Immigrant Family 1] that will replace the classification on my previous GC, which was CF1 [Conditional Family 1].
  • The text in the middle is very similar to the boilerplate on the AOS approval notice, although that one was printed on I-797 secure watermarked paper stock. They may be attempting to save money by minimizing their use of the obviously expensive heavy secure paper.
  • Between the "Sincerely" and the "MARK J HAZUDA" lines, there is a stamp of Mr. Hazuda's signature,, that says, under the signature itself, "NSC DIRECTOR". Not CSC, which is where I filed. Interesting.
  • The address for the USCIS office in Salt Lake City is obsolete, they just moved to a fancy new building fairly recently [A few weeks before I did RoC biometrics, in fact.]
  • On the back, on the bottom right hand corner, oriented vertically, is the handwritten, in black pen, initials "BD".

Also guys, us there a visa jouney app or iPad? Ta would be so cool

Not that I'm aware of. The forum server software does render differently [more compact, etc.] in Mobile Safari than on desktop browsers, but I think most of the functionality is still available, and there will be a link to just render the full version at the bottom of each page.

You might get more authoritative answers in the Site Related Discussion forum.

Hi guys... I just realized when we went in for fingerprints on Dec 14, 2011, we walked out empty-handed....no record that we went.....did this happen to anyne else ?? I I don't want them to screw up and say that we never came in for fingerprints

The biometrics notice says to bring the notice to the appointment. Both times I've gone (for AOS and for RoC) I took the notice and they stamped and initialed it to indicate that I was there.

I'm surprised you even got in without the biometrics notice. Security is normally very reluctant to let someone in without some kind of piece of paper indicating an appointment. Is it possible they stamped it and you've since misplaced it?

Yay!

Card Production Ordered email arrived today!

:dance: :dance: :dance: :dance: :dance:
:dance: :dance: :dance: :dance: :dance:

For the record, I did not have an AOS interview either.
There was a theory going around that people who didn't get AOS interviews were very likely to get RoC interviews.
Not so much, apparently!

I'll update my timeline and "Filed For" category once I get the actual approval date (which is likely to have been a few days ago).

Good luck, everybody!

Removing Conditions on Residency General DiscussionHave different address from wife
If the husband is the US citizen, then this situation is A ) highly unusual, and B ) will almost certainly be seen as a red flag by USICS when the time comes for ROC. And that's the good news, because if the husband is the beneficiary, then I'm sorry to have to be the one to say this, and really I hope I'm wrong, but this starts to sound like a textbook case of immigration fraud. I would begin to wonder if this "sister" isn't actually a previous acquaintance of some sort from the old country.

There's a specific species of immigration fraud who always seem to "just happen" to get hooked back up to a significant other they knew back home, who got into the country through their own suspicious circumstances.

I really, really, REALLY hope that's not what's going on here. But in the absence of evidence to the contrary, it seems like a possibility. And you better believe that the IO adjudicating the ROC is gonna be wondering the same thing.

Removing Conditions on Residency General DiscussionHave different address from wife
Almost certainly.

In fact, your current living arrangement would be seen as a red flag even if he keeps, as an "official address", the house you are living in. They will be looking for evidence that you two are living together as a married couple. Any period of separation should exist only extremely reluctantly, as a result of the highest possible need, and for as short a period of time as humanly possible.

Are you the US citizen or the beneficiary?

Removing Conditions on Residency General DiscussionRemoval of conditional permanent residence
It occurs to me that the other problem the OP will run into is being outside the US with an expired green card and no I-751 NOA1. If he has somebody checking his mail to get the NOA1 and forward it to him, I wouldn't expect it to be a problem, otherwise things might get interesting (in the unfortunate sense of the word) at the reentry PoE.

Removing Conditions on Residency General DiscussionRemoval of conditional permanent residence
I don't see why the mailing would be a problem. I don't think there's any particular rule saying that you have to be in the US at the time you file the I-751 (though I imagine they tend to assume you will be). There's nothing in the form or it's instructions that I can see (based on a quick scan) that requires you to be in the US at time of filing. The only complications I can think of is making sure that you are able to make your biometrics appointment, and any possible interview during that timeframe.

You DEFINITELY need someone dependable watching your mail and letting you know immediately of anything coming from USCIS. Given that, I think this can probably work.

Removing Conditions on Residency General DiscussionROC Interviews likelihood
Also, don't get freaked out if you do get called for an interview. Someone here just in the last week or so posted that during their RoC interview, the IO said that selections are done randomly, based on a percentage quota that varies from office to office. So being selected doesn't mean you've done anything wrong, or that there was necessarily anything wrong with your RoC packet evidences.

Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussiontoday greencard expiration
My understanding with the I-751 is that there is a grace period of roughly a month or two if you have a reasonable explanation included with the application as to why it's late. In the case of the current blizzard, I'm sure they'll be reasonable over an interval of a few days.
HeatDeathMaleCanada2010-02-13 02:17:00
Removing Conditions on Residency General DiscussionAre biometrics necessary?
You will very likely have to redo biometrics. Theoretically, they can only keep them on file for some limited amount of time (6 months-1 year). OTOH, there have been a number of reports in the I-751 forum recently of people being sent their 10 year cards with no biometrics appointment. Procedures may be in flux.

I wouldn't worry about it too much. If you have to do biometrics, they'll send you a notice. It'll be just the same as last time.
And if you don't, you don't. Either way, easy peasy.
HeatDeathMaleCanada2010-02-26 14:35:00
Removing Conditions on Residency General DiscussionI need your advice please :)
Unimpeachable honesty is always the best policy with USCIS. I don't know for sure exactly what a joint I-751 filing represents to USCIS, in terms of the health of your marriage [I would have to read the form and instructions in detail, as you should now], but if a joint I-751 application is representing to USCIS that you are happily and stably married and cohabitating, and you aren't, than you probably shouldn't do that.

USCIS seems to lack a category for I-751 filings for separated people. They really only acknowledge the states of married and cohabitating, and cleanly divorced. If married and cohabitating, they expect you two to file jointly. If cleanly divorced, the GC holder can file on their own at any time. The onus will be on the GC holder to prove that the marriage was entered into in good faith. If they can show that, they get their 10-year GC, no problem.

I would imagine that a notarized affidavit from the ex-husband, affirming that the GC holder entered into the marriage in good faith, would go a significant way towards helping them show that to USCIS.

Removing Conditions on Residency General DiscussionSocial Security Card
You should go get a new card when you get your green card. It updates your status in their system and I think that might be important. They specifically ask you to notify them whenever your immigration status changes, For me that means K-1 entrant -> PR, and PR -> citizen.

When you go to update your new status and get a new card DO NOT OFFER THEM YOUR CURRENT CARD. Odds are they will not ask for it, and you may need a SSC in the 2-6 weeks it can take them to send out the new one. That way you still get to keep your cool immigrant only card, but you also get the new one, which won't confuse HR departments as much.

Removing Conditions on Residency General DiscussionRemoval of Conditions

I was hoping to apply for it next year. My 2 years are up in 2012, feb

So your two-year GC was issued in Feb, 2010. That means you can apply to remove conditions sometime in November 2011. All other things being equal, and your RoC approved, you will be eligible to apply for naturalization sometime around November 2012. Naturalization tends to take 4-6 months, so you might possibly have your naturalization ceremony sometime around April-May 2013 at the earliest, and you'll be able to apply for a US passport immediately after the ceremony, once you have a certificate of naturalization in your hand.

Removing Conditions on Residency General DiscussionRemoval of Conditions

When removing conditions, do I need to go through another medical or interview (interview similar to the embassy one)? also when I do receive my 10 yr GC, can I apply for a US passport?

You do not need to do another medical. You might need to do an interview (though apparently they're fairly rare - less than 20% or so).

And no, you can't apply for a US passport until you get your US citizenship. Your 10 year GC just makes you a non-conditional Lawful Permanent Resident. LPRs are not citizens, and must continue to use the passports of their home countries until and unless they apply for naturalization.

Removing Conditions on Residency General DiscussionNeed Some Help Confused
Well, they can't manufacture your new green card without biometrics. They need the new photo and the new fingerprint. Kathryn had said that you were getting your RoC interview really quickly - unusually quickly, by historical standards. So it sounds like what is happening is that you somehow got scheduled for a very quick interview, but your local application service center (where you do biometrics - different office) is more backed up so you got a later biometrics appointment.

Actually, in all likelihood your ASC biometrics appointment is occurring in the normal timeframe - it's just your interview that is weirdly early. What will most likely happen is that when all goes well at the interview they will approve you pending the bio appointment. Then right after you do the bio appointment, they will produce and mail out your new card.

You'll be able to ask and confirm all of this at the interview, but I'm pretty sure that's what is going on.
