Vremennyi shtamp

[Anya*A]

Zdravstvuite vsem privetovtsam! Vot u menya takoi vopros, mozhet kto znaet otvet. Ya poluchila vremennyi shtamp Green Card v moem passporte. Proizoshlo eto v Dallase 5 January, 2000. Do sih tak i ne poluchila plastikovoi, nastoyashei. Pytalas zvonit', no bespolezno, vechno zanyato. U kogo-nibud' imeetsya takaya zhe situatsiya?

Anya, u menya byla primerno takaya zhe situazciya paru let nazad, pravda ne v Texas, a v Missouri, gde namnogo men'she hispanic immigrants. Srok mezhdu prohozhdeniem sobesedovaniya v INS (i polucheniem shtampa v passporte cherez paru nedel') i polucheniem samoj plastikovoj kartu zanyal okolo polugoda. ofizcial'no vam bespokoit'sya ne o chem: est' shtamp - znachit vy permanent...

Spasibo vam za otvety! Da, ya slyshala chto chem dalshe ot uzhnyh shtatov USA tem situatsiaya s INS polegche, hotya koneshno vse ravno ochen' dolgo vse eto. Mozhet potomu chto deistvitelno ochen' mnogo meksikanstvev v uzhnyh shtatah. Zvonit' absolutno bespolezno. Tselyi chas vchera prosidela. Udivlyaus' kak nekotorye mogut po telephonu s INS svyazat'sya. Ya vot segodnya rano utrom v INS ezdila, dumala chto nado by vyasnit' pochemu zaderzhka takaya. No po Sredam u nih tol'ko po appointment. A kak zhe eto bylo obnaruzhit' esli ne dozvonit'sya, nichego. Odnim slovom INS eto nightmare. Moi muzh govorit, chto skol'ko prozhil zdes' ni razu takogo "service" ne videl gde tebya treat like S i otnosyatsya kak k kriminalu kakomu-tu. Nu ladno ob etom. Zhelau vam vsem uspehov s INS, kak by ne smeshno eto zvuchalo, i poluchit' nakonets kakie-libo dokumenty vy zhdete ili budete ozhidat'. Udachi!

My mothers GC was lost in a mail, the only "good news" for me in it was that I had a phone number of the INS officer who handled the case, so I knew the "issue-date".
We had to fill in I-90 form to get a new plastic made. It came in 3 month.
Site to check INS "processing time"- http://www.fragomen.com/Govt_processing/INS/ins.html
It is better to start "figuring out" when one year is not over- my GC was bounced back in a mail too(but it's been a long while), I wrote a letter to the cervice center and got my thing.
So, try to find out, timing and write if you feel that something is wrong
