I remember it should arrive within 90 days from your entry. No worries, you are within that timeframe

yes, that's the message... But I have a international travel scheduled for March, do you know if I can travel with my passport and visa only? Otherwise where can I get the information? Bc telephones of uscis doesn't work at all for information.

omg congrats! where from? and how long did your case take if u don’t mind me asking? thanks!

brazil, 8 years

@felipe it took 8 years for u to get in the US? wow, that’s crazy

I know... Us citizen petition... crazy

@felipe ohhh that’s why.. whew I was about to say!

no, i think u don't get it, the petitioner is a us citizen filing for me as a lpr... 8 years is not cool 😆

@felipe. oh gosh! lol okay yes I’m sorry. okay so, you’re saying you filed back in 2014 while u were still in Brazil, and was in Brazil for 8 years up until last December??

yes

wow… just wow. was there sumthin going on with the case that was out of the norm? I’ve had 3 ppl now that my husband knows that haven’t waiyed more than 2-3 years from start to finish.. my goodness!

nothing outside of usual... Every single document was perfect, I can't tell you why it took so long, no explanation was sent to me whatsoever. I've just waited and move on with my life. Covid delayed 1.5 year but it's a long wait for those in that category. Each case is different tho. Some things remain unexplained lol

well, you’re good now & that’s all that matters! you fought the good fight ! you’re here & u deserve to be here! what state was the citizen filing from?

Washington, California service center, I believe that is the main reason so far.

@Felipe t r u can not travel without ur green card,u will need ur green card to show to enter bk in the usa

are you sure? my passport has a stamp on it that says "valid as a I551 for 1 year"

i read on the USCIS website.. as long as you have your original country’s passport (valid obviously), and your Visa (valid), it should have an expiration date that u can travel until.

oh and you should receive a travel date from USCIS that you’re allowed to travel. once u get that, you should be good to go.

do you mind sharing the exact link where you read this?

sure.. what country are you traveling from to the U.S.?

and has USCIS already given you an authorized travel date after your approval & everything?

my apologies, it wasn’t the USCIS website. however, this website is still a legitimate government website tho.. here you go: https://www.usa.gov/enter-us

have you received your GC, yet? I entered US about. 1.5 month ago, but no GC yet. Receipt number that I got still shows payment received as status.
