card was mailed to me
I just want to ask if any of you'll have been in this situation.
Card was mailed to me in the first week of the year and until today I haven't received it. Called uscis got the tracking number and shows "in transit arriving late". I went to local post office with the tracking number to see if they can help but it was useless. Out of this frustration I called uscis again telling them about this mess, and they said to wait until next two weeks if not give them a call. My mail is not showing any update after it was departed from Knoxville, Tennessee on 4 Jan.
Anyone in the same situation???
Work & Travel while I-751 is pending
Just submitted my I-751 last week, and got notification on USCIS account that they received my application on 1/21, and the receipt notice was sent to me. What can I use as proof for work to submit to HR after my green card expires? Looking for applying to new job.
Also, can I travel outside of the US and if yes, what documents do I need to bring with me?
Thanks in advance.

GREEN CARD APROBADA (Con DUI y Arresto [Battery] )
Hola a todos, quería compartir una noticia que me tiene muy emocionado: ¡después de tantos años, finalmente me aprobaron la residencia permanente! Soy colombiano y llevo 10 años en los Estados Unidos sin poder regresar a mi país. Ha sido un camino muy largo y lleno de desafíos, y había momentos en los que pensaba que nunca lo lograría.
Mi caso no fue nada fácil. En el pasado tuve un DUI, y unos años después tuve la mala suerte de ser arrestado por violencia doméstica debido a un gran mal entendido y aunque fui absuelto de todos los cargos el arresto quedó en mi historial y complicó mi proceso de residencia, causando una demora absurda.
Durante mi larga espera aprendí que, aunque tengas un DUI o un cargo en tu historial, no significa que automáticamente seas inelegible para la residencia permanente. Todo depende de los detalles y de cómo se maneje tu caso.(tengan en cuenta que cada caso es único) yo solo estoy compartiendo mi historia, para servirles de referencia y también de aprendizaje.
Mi consejo más importante es que busquen un buen abogado. Ellos son quienes realmente pueden guiarlos y ayudarlos a conseguir el mejor resultado posible.
Estoy muy agradecido por el apoyo de esta comunidad durante todo este proceso, y si alguien está pasando por algo parecido, no duden en escribirme. Estaré feliz de compartir lo que aprendí y ayudar en lo que pueda. ¡Mantengan la esperanza, y deseo que todos puedan recibir la respuesta que tanto han esperado!

GREEN CARD APPROVED (with DUI and Battery)
Hey everyone, I just wanted to share some amazing news—I’ve finally been approved for permanent residency! This journey has been so long and honestly really tough, and there were times I thought it would never happen. My case wasn’t easy at all—I had a DUI in the past, and a few years later, I was arrested for domestic violence, even though I wasn’t guilty. That arrest still stayed on my record, and it made everything more complicated.
What I’ve learned is that a DUI or even a battery charge doesn’t automatically make you ineligible for permanent residency; it all depends on the details and how your case is handled. The best advice I can give is to work with an attorney—they know how to guide you through the process and fight for the best outcome.
I’m so grateful for the support of this community during this journey, and if anyone is dealing with something similar, feel free to reach out. I’m happy to share anything I’ve learned that might help. Stay strong, and I hope everyone here gets the good news they’re waiting for!

Ds260 confirmation page?
When I go to print confirmation for the DS260, at the top of the page it says "do not print this page. use the below 'print confirmation' button". So I click the button, and it pulls up the exact same page saying the same thing...don't print.
I'm so confused? is this what everyone's confirmation page says at the top? am I missing something?
