10 year Green card in hand!

[sharky 2]

Hi Everybody,

I just wanted to share my joy at receiving my 10 year Green card in the post, along with the approval notice!!

I must admit this was COMPLETELY unexpected!

California service center had received my application to remove conditions on MAY 19th, but I had applied on my own because I had divorced my wife after only 7 months of marriage.

I was convinced that I would get a RFE, and when I looked online at the date the service center was processing, it said January 2008. My package included monthly bank statements, rental agreement, car insurance form, 2 affidavits from friends who attended our wedding, tax return in both our names but that was all.

I simply can't believe it!!!

All those people who are applying to lift conditions as a divorced applicant, don't give up hope. California is probably one of the quickest service centers in the country.

My best wishes to all the VJ community and to people still waiting

Congrats!

But Jesus, I gotta say there's a huge difference between adjudicators. Another poster, still happily married, got an RFE with much more evidence than yours, there's so much randomness in the system. (Not putting you down by the way, just amazed at the breadth of experiences).

Enjoy the relief!

Wow, This is really Cool!!! Congratulations!! I read your timeline and you filed your lifting conditions five months before your GC will expire???if that so, I will do the same thing cause our lawyer told me that I can apply 3months before the GC will expire...my congratulations again.

Hi Paul! I was reading your post. I have a similar situation like you have.

I have a couple of questions. I have a loan and a vehicle together with my wife. She always drives the vehicle and I pay half of the loan because both of our names are on the loan. I do not want the vehicle after the divorce. We had a house together and she has the house loan under her name only because I couldn't get a loan in the U.S. because I wasn't working yet and I had to work a year and I didn't have any credit yet. Is she responsible for the loan for the house because the loan is not in my name only in her name? Is this enough evidence when I apply for my 10 year green card? Thank you very much!
