Interivew was the end of June, no greencard yet. I got the I-551 stamp at the interview, but then received an approval letter telling me to make an Infopass appointment for I-551 processing - fingerprints and signature. I did so a couple of weeks later, and was told by the officer that whoever approved me "put in the wrong code", but now that it was in that we had to send off the signature/fingerprint form. Did that, and am still waiting.

WOW, I am feel sorry for you that you have to wait such a long time. Just wondering if you and others that are still awaiting their card after aproval received the welcome letters too.

Reason why I ask this is, in this letter it says that a record of lawful permanent residence is being created, well...that is what my letter said and that I should receive my card within 3 weeks. It also has a phonenumber in it, that you have to call when you have not received it in after those weeks.

I'm just curious...

I didn't receive a letter. I did infopass at Boston as I'd changed addy and wanted to make sure all was ok. They told me it can take up to a year and they won't inquire on the status of the letter or GC until at least a year has passed.
