My GC got approved today!!!!!

I'm so incredibly happy!!!! Can you tell?? :lol::dance: :dance:

Awesome Joyce!! Congrats! :D

Thanks!! Between K-1 and AOS, it all took about a year! Not bad. Could have taken less time had we got married right away, or if I moved sooner. I sure hope my notice tells me when to start ROC cause my brain is just not going to figure out that date!! :lol:

You can file exactly 90 days before your conditional GC expires. They expect you to do the math on your own, unfortunately. I counted backwards from my expiration date and wrote it in my signature so I wouldn't forget! My brain is done with all of this for a couple years, absolutely, I know how you feel! :lol:

For the tax transcripts... how would they really know if they're a photocopy or an original? Unless they changed them since I ordered ours almost a year ago now, there is no original stamps or signatures or anything on it that would make you certain it was an original document. I ordered them once and have photocopied them several times for a few different things. They're actually really handy to have!

Still waiting on our marriage certificates. I have all the paperwork done except some photocopying and the sponsor and co sponsor form.

I just hope the person we're asking for a co-sponsor kept his tax returns on hand... I dont want to have to wait for copies.

Congratulations!! Same day as me!! I had the first email on the 9th, later that night had the one of the 'welcome letter" sent; then on the 10th another email of the card production ordered. I sure hope that means I'll get it soon! I know it says 30 days, but I'm hoping they'll be nice to me...:lol:

So if my GC was approved Feb 9, 2010, then it's good till Feb 8, 2012, but 90 days backwards from that is sometime in the middle of Nov. 2011. So that's when we could mail of ROC? I'll make sure of the actual date once I get my GC.

Woo, got my marriage certificates today.

We photocopied one cause they only need photocopies and the photocopied one has COPY all in the background. I find it interesting.

Hopefully we'll send it out mid next week. I'll kick myself in the butt if it's not by next Friday.

That's great about your name being correct, Tina&Roland. Be so frustrating to have to contact them and all.

Rhianne, good that you're almost ready. It's such a good feeling knowing your get it in before the I-94 expires. And I only sent copies too. I went to the courthouse to get ONE certified copy, ($5) and made copies for my AOS, AP, and EAD. Guess they liked it....:lol:

Yep! That would be right. Just count 90 days backwards from the expiry date on your GC. The IO at my interview said just to make sure you file sometime in the 90 days before it expires, but no earlier as they can reject it for being to early. And definitely make sure you file before it expires, then you're out of status, and we've all heard some fun stories about being stuck in that situation! :lol:

So, my GC was approved in mid November of 2009, and I can file mid August of 2011.

So I got the hard copy of the notice of transfer to CSC and wait for it......they got my name correct, hyphens and all! :thumbs:

Awesome!! I know all to well the problems you can encounter when your name isn't in "the system" just perfect! :lol:
