Hello everyone,

Let me share my best moments of life with you today, yesterday on Friday 8th of October when I came from work really tired and exhausted I opened my mailbox I saw a mail sitting there. At one point I thought it's another speeding ticket ehh but I was wrong when I opened the mail the first thing I read was USCIS at that point I thought it's my interview date for removal of condition but again I was wrong. Guess what? it was my GreenCard enclosed in that letter. Yes, they sent me a 10 years Green Card in mail without even calling me for an interview.

I applied for removal of condition in the month of May on 24th I guess 2010, my biometrics were scheduled in September 11th if I am not wrong and the day I received my GreenCard was October 8th, 2010 ( I will never forget this date ofcourse :P ). Today on 9th I received another letter by USCIS saying that your case has been approved and you should receive your green card within 90 days but I was lucky to receive my green card first then acceptance letter :).

What did I file? I filled bunch of stuff, ofcourse the I751 the application filled it neat and nice attached my bank statements of 2 years, YES! a bunch of 2 years documents, I also added a letter from the manager saying me and my wife account is a joint account since xx-xx-xxx date. I also added 2 years tax returns I filled jointly with my wife. I also attached my cars insurance which I have my wife added, I attached my life insurance she is included in that. Attached a copy of health insurance plan which has my wife added. What else ? ermm.. I did not send pictures because I think it is not needed. We do not have a baby so didnt send any document related to that, I have my apartments lease with my wife but I forgot to send them. I was prepared to take it with me if I was called for an interview. I think I sent alotta of papers.

I am very happy today and my journey has ended today, the next thing I am looking forward for is my US Citizenship which I am entitled to apply in the month of May 2011, few more months :))))

I must say thanks to all of you who helped me. If anyone need any assistance please send me a message I will do my best to help with whatever knowledge I have ( I am not an attorney or any professional ) I will share my personal experience with you guys if you need.

Thank you once again

Congratulations! It is a nice feeling, isn't it, to have that 10 year card in hand!

“...Isn't it splendid to think of all the things there are to find out about? It just makes me feel glad to be alive--it's such an interesting world. It wouldn't be half so interesting if we knew all about everything, would it? There'd be no scope for imagination then, would there?”

Congratulations Fahim! My ROC is coming up too in a few months, my 2 years documents are exactly the same as yours except for the car insurance since I still can't drive (yes, I know, I'm suck, 2 years and I still don't have a driver license, lol). I've been very worried if my papers are gonna be enough for not, but after i saw that your documents are just like mine and you still got approved easily, this has made me feeling much better. Can I ask which USCIS service center did you send your papers to? California or Vermont? Anyway, thanks very much for sharing your wonderful experience with us. :)
