It's a long story which I don't want to get into, but basically we think my entire visa package was misdirected or lost at the POE.

Well we got the AP and EAD also in no time. You can check my timeline to see how long it took, but i don't think it was that long!...

anyways, we equally wish that everyone's come just as fast.

I thought it was fast, even after my case was transferred from the local USICS to CSC. .... we did not expect it this soon! all in all we are one happy couple today!

Hey sapa_uscan,

a lot to be happy about! Congratulations! And good for posting such a positive outcome. Hope it will encourage and calm those still in the process!

If I may add another "happy couple" note to your post: we didn't "escape" interview but it was all over just under the 4 month mark (the BEST thanksgiving present!)

Enjoy next 2 years!

Speedy approvals to all waiting!

just a quick question:

Are GC only valid for 2 years? Mine was for two years!

If you've been married for less than 2 years, yes. 90 days prior to the expiration, you need to file I-751.

Congratulations, our's took about 8 weeks (2 months, I guess) from start to finish, with an interview :D Some are going a little faster in the last year or so, but those who wait seem to wait a long time :(

this is the way the world ends

this is the way the world ends

this is the way the world ends

not with a bang but a whimper
