Green Card [CONT-3]

[f12phantom]

Thanks to everyone for all of your responses to my previous post! Guess what bothers us is that after the interview for the Green Card at the Boston BCIS location, the agent never gave us anything. He simply said that our case will be sent to the FBI for a background check and that within a week or two we should receive a letter instructing both my wife and her daughter to go to the BCIS office to have their passports stamped indicating approval. Then the actual Green Card would be mailed out after this process. So, once their passports are stamped this is enough to act as a Green Card approval until such time the cards are actually received. Thus, we're in a state of "limbo" right now waiting upon this letter so that they can get their passports stamped.

We attempted to look up the case on the BCIS website. You have to use a receipt number. We used the receipt number from the original application for the fiancee visa and the results displayed are only for that process. Does anyone have any ideas about what receipt number, if any, one can use to track this Green Card process?

Thanks again!!!!

I believe on the AOS I-485 receipt there is a number.  I could not find my wife's to look at but I remember there is a number.  It could be her A# which is also on the I-94 arrival/departure card.  

What I would do is go to the same office that you had the invertiew at.  If you remember the agent's name, try to get to see him or her.  Bring all of your paperwork again.  At the Denver office there is one door your can wait at and the agents come to call the people to their interviews.  You can ask any agent that comes to the door that you need to talk to this agent.  If you do not remember the agent's name then just tell whichever agent you can speak to about your problem.  They may be able to use their A#'s to find which agent is handling them.  

When my wife and I were waiting for her interview, there was a guy there with a similiar problem.  After his interview he had not heard anything for several months.  There was an agent who listened and was trying to help him.  At least in the Denver office, some of these agents seem sympathetic and will see what they can do to help for cases like yours where you are left in limbo.  Maybe in Boston also.

Good luck.

..the parishoners here to preach the sermon.
The board members can't help you on this one.
Did you read where I advised to contact your congressional office?
