Still no plastic green card in the mail
Passport stamped at interview almost 9 months ago at Arlington -- quoted "within 6
months" for green card in mail. Contacted Congressman's office a month ago.
Congressman's office still waiting for repy. UGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH!!!!!! Anyone
else in the same boat??? Why are other people getting their cards so early and us so
late??? Of course it took us 2 years and three months + to get the interview anyway
so I guess I should expect delays for this too.

We had to file an I-90 for a replacement card, so not quite the same situation, but
when I contacted Senator Helms' office last week, his immigration liaison told me
that in Texas, as of the end of April, they were working on November 21st as the
process date.
Our NOA is dated December 4 - she said Reinhard should have his in the next 2
months. (!!??!!)
We're hoping he doesn't have to get another stamp.

After the same 9 months wait, i contacted our Congressman, Jesse Jackson Jr. Within
2 weeks, his office had check on my status with INS, and I got the card in the
mail. It took 2 weeks!! I guess your Congressman has the wrong key of INS! The
situation is bad, i understand you. They might have mailed it, and it was lost, who
knows or mostly, it is somewhere in a pile, waiting for someone to take care of it.
Keep faith!

It some kind of discrimination to me, what do you think?

Re: Still no plastic green card in the mail
Something's up. My GC came less than a month after our interview at Arlington. Since
they still had not figured out the address we lived at, they had sent it to our old
address - luckily it got forwarded. Could it be something like that?

It took 5 1/2 month in our case. No congressman was contacted.

Re: Still no plastic green card in the mail
When Steve received his I-551 stamp, they gave him a form and said that if he had not
gotten his green card within six months to mail this in the service center.
Form was G-731 http://www.ins.usdoj.gov/graphics/fo...orms/g-731.htm

Re: Still no plastic green card in the mail
Recieved a letter from congressman's office today. 
It included a letter from VSC
saying that the file has been sent for processing and the card should arrive in
approximately 60 days. If that timeline holds then the total time should be 11 months
from stamping to GC in mail. It is a relief to finally know something !!!!!!!

Before you queried the congressman, what did the service center tell you?

Re: Still no plastic green card in the mail
I did not ask/send in form -- just went through rep. -- there seem to be two paths
-- through your representative and personal -- my congressman's rep advised me just
to choose one because issues for congressmen are handled by a different INS staff
person than if you personally requested an inquiry into your status and if you do
both paths it takes even longer because 2 people are requesting your file

Re: Still no plastic green card in the mail
Hopefully it should be quicker than that. VSC seem to be producing them in a few
weeks right now.
Andy.
P.S. See how many "welcome letters" you get - I got three of them!
