Card Is Being Produced but IO said at the Interview that she needs an extra document

[Walbrzyszanka21]

Hello all,

So I am kind of on the edge here and I am not sure if I should be happy prematurely. At the interview, the IO asked for the extended birth certificate which is on its way to the states. I was going to hand it in personally (either the copy or original since I don't want USCIS to destroy the original) once it came in, obviously after I translate it. But today my I-485 case status updated to card being produced. Does that mean that they do not need the extended birth certificate or did they initiate the production ahead of time but they still need the birth certificate? How soon can I get the GC?

I can't concentrate on anything right now

Congratulations!

I don't think USCIS pre-approves documents. I may be wrong, but this means you've been approved for your GC. They may have reviewed your case and approved it.

Did they send you an RFE after the interview or by just words of mouth? if the latter is true, you may have nothing to worry about.

Once again, congratulations!

The IO told me that she will need it and that she will send me a letter. I just won't believe it till I get it in my hands.

If I-485 says card in production you are approved. The status will change to approved later on .
Probably dont have to bring it in now but you can still do it

Congratulations! and Thank you for posting regular updates. I really appreciated your comments since in many instances you seem to have gone through this forum and found trends which saved everyone precious time. As others have noted you will be missed.. hope everything ends well for you and wishing you all the best!

As to your questions on how soon you would get the GC..I am sure you know this but just in case your mind went blank due to excitement :-) you could try "Ask Emma" chat or calling the customer service number to get a USPS tracking number of the card once the status changes to card has been mailed, or just try even before that maybe 3/4 business days from today. Also if you have the USPS informed delivery, keep track of your mail that is coming in for the day by getting email scans of every piece of mail that is going to be delivered to you.

Cheers!
