Topic: Finally received "Card in Production" email !
Actually I only called once and I received the appointment letter in about 3 weeks. However, I forgot to mention my wife's case so he only sent one appointment. I then waited for a few more months and called again for my wife's appointment and again it took about 3 weeks to get the date. |
Topic: Finally received "Card in Production" email !
It's been a very long time indeed, waiting for this email. Finally it arrived last night. I have been a frequent reader and beneficiary of this forum so I am sharing my case info for any one to get a ray of HOPE. What I learned that sharing info does help in decreasing some anxiety :)
Thank you all and best wishes.

"Notes (1) : Wife's case was also processed pretty much along the same time line. Except that I had to schedule her FP separate. She did not have any RFE in 485.

Notes (2) : If you know that your skin test is positive, then most doctors won't do the skin test second time, they simply do the xray directly. However this is not acceptable to USCIS. They asked me to do the Skin Test through RFE. Surprisingly, when I did the Skin test, it turned out to be negative. Now I don't know if this second test was wrong or the first Skin test that I had years ago was wrong. Doctors say that once your skin test is positive, it will never be negative again. |
