Hi everyone,
So I filed my green card documents on July 13th and am still waiting for my travel permit. I live in USA and I was really hoping it would have arrived by now as I want to go back to UK for Christmas. My working visa has expired and I’m currently here on a WB (I think?) visa waiver while the process goes on.
Can anyone share their experiences of how long it took to get your travel permit once it was accepted and processed? I called USCIS today and they said they are working on cases from July 9th so I’m almost there.
Can’t believe how long this has taken because initially everything was so fast and I got my fingerprints taken back in September!
Cheers
Nick

VWP is 90 days so that must have expired a long time ago
I know 2 people who got them recently and both were around 8 months YMMV

Yeah so I had to leave the country last week to Mexico and when I came back across the border, they gave me a visitor’s waiver (after a lot of questioning). The guy said it won’t affect my green card case but who knows. At the moment I am waiting for my case to be processed.

You abandoned your AOS when you left without AP so you need to file to adjust again

If you left the USA after having filed AOS but before getting AP in hand, and your work visa has also expired, then you abandoned your AOS process.
Consult with an immigration lawyer, pronto!

Are you adjusting status via marriage to a USC? I assume so, since your work visa expired? And you've posted your question in the marriage based forum.

If you filed for AOS after you were admitted on the WB then one questions if you actually had immigrant intent at that time.
Either way you might be in for some questioning.
I think that the acronym of FUBAR is apropos.
