Green Card in hand finally. Thanks God and thanks to the wonderful lawfully community.
We are finally done with this super long journey that started back in Dec 2017. 1st motion to reopen received on 5/21/21. Case got reopened on 5/2/22 and GC production ordered the same day, approved on 5/3, mailed on 5/5, picked up by USPS on 5/6. GC received on 5/7, 5 days from case reopening. Saying we’re happy is an understatement. We’re grateful to God for allowing us to reach to this point. These last 6 months have been crazy with the last 3 being super intense (we had to take over as lawyer kept saying to wait indefinitely without doing anything). We submitted (alone): -6 cases inquiries (4 completed with no responses) -1 tier 2 call received after 6 weeks of request just to get the wrong directions such as I-290b filing while case was never denied. -2 congressional inquiries (which worked for EAD and AOS) -New motion to reopen drafted and sent to FO (Initial one filed by lawyer was silent for almost a year) -2 expedited requests (1 successful) -FOIA request (Received) -Medical interfiled 11 days before GC approval. -Multitude talks through Emma (Some more confusing then others). Hope this helps and encourages you as these news with detailed explanation used to encourage me along the way. Thank you to this wonderful community for your support, thoughts and encouragements. I pray for God to get you that releive you all need. #GreenCard #EB3 #Approval #SuperLongJourney

Sal SalMay 9, 2022
congratulations, was ur case denied initially and if so why?
Sal SalMay 9, 2022
why did you also do a foia?

Sassy AMay 9, 2022
@my boo boo: We wanted to see what was going on with the case. Also, many people here said requesting for A-file helped them at that time. Out of desperation we requested for it.

my b my bMay 9, 2022
okay maybe I can try it to next month so they send u all ur life info right
S
Sassy AMay 9, 2022
@Gigi a: The case was never denied. That’s why we didn’t do I-290B as advised by tier 2 officer.
S
Sassy AMay 9, 2022
@My boo boo: yes they send about 90%. They held a couple of pages for some privacy issues they said. Yeah try it. I think it’s good to have your complete file. We were able to see apps from 2011 and on.
Sal SalMay 9, 2022
@sassy j am happy for you. what does or did ur A file contain? just past applications?
bless EmmaMay 9, 2022
I don’t understand how to contach senator

Sassy AMay 9, 2022
@Gigi: We are so super happy. Thank you. It’s your complete file with USCIS, they will send you every single applications with evidence and some of their paperwork too regarding your file minus anything they deem to be private to them.

my b my bMay 9, 2022
do they send you your ds160 to you fill when you coming from your home country
S
Sassy AMay 9, 2022
@My boo boo: Check it out here: https://www.uscis.gov/records/request-records-through-the-freedom-of-information-act-or-privacy-act It is completely online. They won’t mail or email, they will attach it to your account. I think it took a lil bit over 1 month for us to get it.

Green PlanetMay 9, 2022
If you kindly share that your GC was back dated for 1 year only or more as your priority date shows 2017 reply will be appreciated.

Sassy AMay 9, 2022
@Kimmy: first check who are your reps then go to their website and you will find the information about requesting for their help.
bless EmmaMay 9, 2022
ok thank you
S
Sassy AMay 9, 2022
@My boo boo: I applied from here employment based as primary and for my spouse as my dependent. I’m not sure about DS160. @Green Planet: We applied Dec 2017 EB3 ROW, which was current, so our priority date was the same as our application date.

my b my bMay 9, 2022
thanks going to check it out soon
S
Sassy AMay 9, 2022
@John Lee: I’m not sure how the FOIA helped. Like I said earlier, we did it out of desperation. But I’m glad we requested it as it gave us some insights on our last app. For the expedite request we did financial loss/financial hardship. @Kimmy: you’re welcome.

K DMay 13, 2022
you should contact to uscis i sent 290b 31st december and reopened notice received from local FO in february and today received from NBC
abii AbiiMay 13, 2022
@Kd did you get notice in mail? what does it says
K
K DMay 13, 2022
@abbi yes it is reopen notice but came from NBC lee sumit We have reviewed the application or petition ("your case") listed above. We are treating the appeal filed for your case listed above as a USCIS motion to reopen or USCIS motion to reconsider. We will notify you in writing when we make a decision on your case or if we need additional information. that’s all
abii AbiiMay 13, 2022
@kd that’s great, hope you get approval soon, I will update when I get notice in mail, it’s been 2 days
abii AbiiMay 13, 2022
@laura, what does your lawyers says?? you can make an inquiry on your case by calling USCIS. it’s been a year I believe
K
K DMay 13, 2022
@laura maybe you can put inquiry with your attorney if that’s work
abii AbiiMay 13, 2022
@laura you should push your lawyer to make a inquiry for you, seems like attorneys don’t canre, they just care about the money, but at the end of the day it’s your case,
abii AbiiMay 13, 2022
@laura also you can ask your local congress man to help you out.
abii AbiiMay 13, 2022
you can look for your Congress man buy putting your zip code here. reach out to their office, they probably will push USCIS
abii AbiiMay 13, 2022
@laura also use this site and post your questions there avvo.com there are lots of attorneys who will answer your questions free of cost
abii AbiiMay 13, 2022
what’s your zip code
abii AbiiMay 13, 2022
@laura you’re welcome, make sure to keep calling your attorney, also keep calling USCIS , and I believe you will get a good news soon.
abii AbiiMay 13, 2022
@laura I just checked you have to add a little more information they are asking your street address, city , state
