@Mike Mike Congrats my lawyer said if they visa number available u can get approved

@sam y is your lawyer okay?? 🤣🤣🤣

yes

My wife’s AOS also changed to new card is being produced.

Do not allow your lawyer to put you in deep mess! if it turns out to be the GC then you must inform USCIS that you are not current. Maybe they approved your EAD if you don’t have one.

My EAD was approved long time ago.

you must let Uscis know immediately and return your GC if you are not current.

@M.H michille thank you for some optimism! i will definitely talk to my lawyer first thing in the morning. 🙏

it’s not a mistake. There are scenarios where uscis can approve you if they’ve assigned you a visa number already even if retrogression has taken place.

it’s normal if a visa number was assigned for you. congrats.

@Mike Mike congrats! hope it’s not a mistake and you get to keep it! keep us updated! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

13 days ago, EB3 Skilled was current for your date. Just check if it was approved in June. If it was approved in June, there’s no problem.

@Matt B that means I have to wait for the notice/card to arrive? because in the USCIS website the status changes only yesterday.

@M.H michille I sent my lawyer an email. i hope to hear back soon. will keep you posted

@Mike Mike whats your case number starts with? I'm also Aug22 on CRP since Dec 23, and was hoping for exactly what happened to you - that a visa number was already assigned in the past and it'll get approved although not current

@craig b my block is MSC249010 but im still not sure if its a good thing or a mistake

@Mike Mike 99% a good thing, I'm reading about this since Dec 😅

If a visa number was allocated to you before the retrogression happened you can get approved. What I don’t know is how we know if a visa was allocated or not, anyone knows? I’ve seen this happening before with other people but not sure how it works.

Congratulations and Enjoy, Grab from both hands and dont look back. Its USCIS responsibility to make sure such matters. You are not at mistake even if you receive your GC during the retrogress period. Congrats again.

@M.H michille my lawyer said we have to wait for the green card to arrive.

im in the same boat. got approved July 12 out pd june 2022 EB3 ROW. my wait was longer than yours 445days

lets hope its all good im not calling uscis until my lawyer says so

@G m oh wow, i thought my case was an exception! did your lawyer mentioned it could be a mistake or anything? my lawyer received the USCIS notices that my wife an I cases were approved but he didn’t say anything else.

@Mike Mike I havent yet received the approval notice via email since I was the one who submitted the RFE response. Ill wait until the notices and card comes and confirm to you. i read that we could be good as we may have had a visa available before the retrogression.

i mailed my lawyers yesterday (fragomen)

@Mike Mike ill keep you posted. please keep me posted too 🫡

@G m I will keep you posted! My lawyers are Wolfsdorf Rosenthal. Let’s hope for the best 🤞

and btw, you are the 4th person I saw in the same situation. all were approved in the last week without being current.

I am also in a similar situation. EB3 ROW, PD of Sept. 2022. Was approved today (July 18, 2024), even though I’m not current anymore. Not sure how to interpret!

@G m I was wondering if you heard back from Fragomen. @Annie Immi it’s not just you. it happened to me and several other people. you can join the telegram as we update there https://t.me/CRP2Current

@G L should receive it tomorrow

my wife and i got the cards today. the resident since is same as the approval notice. july 11th @G L @G m have you heard from Fragomen?

@Mike Mike I guess ; it’s uscis responsibility- one way to check if you still have travel history ? if that record is gone then you should be good just my perspective

@G m - You have the same lawyers I do, what did Fragomen tell you? I was told to wait till the approval notice or GC arrived before reaching out to USCIS. Did you end up reaching out to them? What happened in your case? I hope for the best case for you and that it wasn't a USCIS mistake.

@N Q thanks, but not a relief until we get a confirmation that it’s not an error. we have a telegram group with more than 100 people and we still don’t have answers

@Mike Mike I also have the same issue. my lawyer said that I should report but I still don’t know what I should do. I asked this issue to USCIS live chat. they said I should keep my GC (I already get it). if you don’t report, you might have problem in future my lawyer said.

@airberry sky - it is most likely not an error if you were CRP before and was current for a few months. you should ask your congressman for a confirmation from USCIS just in case. you can join a the telegram group with more than 170 other people with the exact same situation. https://telegram.me/joinchat/UcDIaK2VlSBkY2Zh

@Mike Mike do you think they produced your GC correctly even not current PD? I am still asking my lawyer. what your lawyer said?

@airberry sky lawyer suggested going through congressman and ask them to inquire USCIS. I’m still waiting for the response but it is most likely safe to say the GC is valid

thank you @Mike Mike I am also reaching out to them already. I will let you know when I get answer from them!

hello Guys, I would say I am on the same boat, only that my visa was not current in the last 2 years but I got approved. My PD is 12.05.2022 ROW. According to the last visa bulletin for November my Prriority Date is still not current. despite of that, I got the green card in few days I will receive the package. did anyone of you have an understanding on how to approach USCIS ?
