mercator Posted January 18, 2009 Report Share Posted January 18, 2009 So if it is 8-10 months to get the 10 year green card, what is my wife's status in the in-between time? We have a trip to Beijing in April, is she going to get hassled because she is "in application?" Do I not take her with me for fear she will be denied entry or hassled for hours?? What about getting a new job? Link to comment
Sebastian Posted January 18, 2009 Report Share Posted January 18, 2009 I remember something about getting an I-551 stamp in a passport via an INFOPASS appointment. Guys, does that sound right? Link to comment

Not for a 10 year card (I don't think). But her NOA1 will extend her green card status for 1 year. Link to comment

ameriken Posted January 19, 2009 Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 NOA1 does extend it one year. As for time, we filed Jie's I751 at the end of Oct, and she just got her 10 year card year card on Friday. About 10 weeks. Link to comment
dnoblett Posted January 20, 2009 Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 Status does not change, she is still an LPR (Lawful Permanent Resident) AKA (I-551)Green-Card holder. Link to comment
david_dawei Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 we brought the NOA1 with us when traveling to China. Of course, they saw the expired GC and we showed the NOA1... I cannot say if they really understood it but we simply pointed to the first sentence and they nodded their head... Link to comment
NY-Viking Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 we brought the NOA1 with us when traveling to China. Of course, they saw the expired GC and we showed the NOA1... I cannot say if they really understood it but we simply pointed to the first sentence and they nodded their head... This was our experience too. Still waiting on the 10 year card though ... rather frustrating. VT still only has the November 18 times posted (December 30, 2007), but I know people who filed around the same time we did have already received the 10 year card ... Link to comment
se_lang Posted January 26, 2009 Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 I believe mercator an myself both applied about same time and neither of us got our NOA1 for the 10year GC after my wife job started to question her status to work We went to the IO and they gave her a stamp which expires 1 year later which is almost 18 months after we applied, now here we are geting ready to apply for her citizenship.

john90 Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 My wife just got her 10 year card this week. It took almost 11 months, but finally got through it. She went to trip back to China in November, but got the passport stamp before she left and she brought her NOA1 She didn't have any problems with immigration when returning to US. We went through Vermont Service center, hopefully the Citizenship paper work will be much shorter. Link to comment

People, is the 'new process', or an unusually kind act of God? Link to comment
Chad Posted February 5, 2009 Report Share Posted February 5, 2009 We applied for the 10 yr green card last March. Never recieved her NOA1 with the sticker to put on her GC, made an appt and got a stamp in July for a one year extension. The officer then said it wouldnt be the first time if he saw us next yeat at this time for another 1 yr extension! Great! Still no word on the GC. Link to comment

We were a month ahead of you and recently received the Perm 10 year card. It will be there in a month or so. Link to comment
