Green Card on the way!

Published

hello! I am soooo happy! I got an email from USCIS on july 11, 2007 stating my current status and it said that, CURRENT STATUS: Card production ordered. Today, july 12, got an email from USCIS again stating, CURRENT STATUS: Approval notice sent RE I485 application to register permanent residence or to adjust status..

If I am not mistaken, it seems to me that my GC is on its way... I was thinking of renewing my EAD when I got this mail.

PD DATE Oct. 23, 2006

I140 approved: Nov 20, 2006

EAD arrival: Nov 20, 2006

Good Luck to others! Remember, patience is a virtue! BTW, I am from PI currently working here in CA, USA...:lol2: I'll be updating you guys once I receive my GC!

I am wondering how come your status is different from me!!.

This is what I got too! How come hers (mpineda10) is different? But I also received a separate email from USCIS stating that CARD PRODUCTION ORDERED as my current status...

did you go to the US as a US-RN on a tourist visa? would that matter to the immigration?

your welcome. are you working on a hospital right now? where in california? cause i waiting for the response of my application in city of angels medical center. thanks

nope, I got my tourist visa way back before I became a nurse... I've been visiting USA for years and didn't overstayed... yup, i'm working in a hospital right now specifically on telemetry floor...

It is actually in violation of US immigration law to come to the US on a tourist visa with the purpose of staying. That is why you hear of attorneys wanting the client to wait three months before they will consider submitting a petition in most cases. Very easy to get denied, and if it does, then you need to leave the US. It cannot be appealed in the court system.

And lately, just seeing quite a few from PI only be given three month visas when they arrive in the US. It is up to the immigration official at the desk when you arrive. They are the final decision maker as to how long that you can stay. With immigration the way that it is now, and with no visas being available, the AOS is not a reality at this time. And do not know when it will be again.

It is also very hard now to get a tourist visa for the US if they do not already have one. The requirements have gotten much stricter than they have been in the past. And basically because of people coming over and staying. Makes it bad for everyone else. The AOS was designed for those that were in the US on other visas, such as student, or H1-B, or something similar. Never meant to be specifically for those that came with the purpose of staying and never leaving.

What was done in the past is essentially a moot point at this time, it just does not exist anymore. And at the moment the only viable option is the CP processing.

thats so good..im happy for you. good luck in your work.

okay beah, but what i am asking is when you arrived there in the US last year as a tourist...did you pass the nclex rn already? would that matter in the US immigration when you arrived knowing that you are a nurse and passed nclex? i heard rumors that the US immigration officer, when u arrived there, would know if u pass nlcex-rn they said it will be seen in their computer probably in your record. your entry will be denied. but i doubt it! hmm how true?

I got the approval notice too! Today, they sent an email to inform me that the approval notice was on its way. Still in a shock! Cannot believe it!

I am from PRC and priority date is Oct. 23, 2006. The service center is Texas service center.
