I751 :Approval Notice and post procedures

[Aguila]

Freddy:

When did you file your I-751 and in which Service Center? When did you get approval letter?

IR1 I believe is for people that entered the US with either K1 or K3 visa.

IR6 is for people that entered the US with a non-immigrant visa and adjusted status in the US.

I might be wrong though.

Aguila, Nebraska 3/31/03 and got it yesterday! IR1 NOT IR6

Something seems suspicious here. I think it was a fraud.

[Freddy]

does it really take 1 year to get the real card? 1 year? ( I was told so at the office!)

Freddy:

You will get your card within the next 3-4 weeks, I don't know why the officers keep saying as years ago that the card takes 6-12 months when in fact nowadays cards are made in 3-4 weeks...

Did you enter the US using a K1 or K3 ?

[Freddy]

Aguila, I entered the US as a CR1, I kind of figured this out CR1=if u are married abroad and CR6 if u adjust status in the US, and both changes to IR1 and IR6 after approved I-751.
Are you sure about the Card in a month or months not years? I am tired of always waiting!

[Aguila]

Yes I am absolutely sure! Let us know when you receive though!

Freddy,

my receipt date is April 18, 2003 so I should be getting it soon as well. did the letter said about any day and date we can go to district office to give pic and the stamp after approval or we can go any time after we get the approval letter.

Let me know or if someone else have any information please let me know.

Mehul:

After you get the approval letter you could go anytime you want unless otherwise specified in the letter.

Mehul:

You go in anytime with your approval letter, your passport (so they can stamp it!!!!), your expired GC (say goodbye - they take it), your INS pictures (two as per specs...) and of course your approval letter.

Go very early and stand in the 'no appointments' line. (Don't go the day they are closed of course). That is it. No questions, no hassle... Make sure they put a new I-551 stamp in your passport - that will act as your GC until it arrives in the mail!

Congrats!
