Hello all!

My husband finally received his 10 year green card right before Christmas!! It was a great gift for us both. It took about 7 months to the day from the day we sent out the application to the day he received his card.

So, other VSCers, keep up hope! We never got a letter saying we needed to provide more information or anything. As always, VisaJourney has made the entire application process run so smoothly and without a lawyer. I'm so happy we're finally done with this. He won't be applying for citizenship, so we're off the hook for 10 years. I guess at that time I'll be back here again haha! Good luck everyone! Thanks for all the help over the past 3-4 years ^^

o Copy of the passport and green card (of my husband)

o Copies of our 2004 and 2005 US tax returns, filed jointly

o Copies of our bank statements, for both our checking and savings accounts, over the past two years (3 for each account)

o Copy of our apartment lease, showing a joint lease

o Copies of our drivers licenses with the same address on them

o Copies of our health insurance cards

o Copy of the title of our car, showing a joint ownership

o Copies of our car insurance bills (2 over the past year and a half)

o Copies of Gas and Electricity bills (2 of each over the past year)

o Copies of our airline tickets from a vacation we took together in January 2007.

o Pictures of us together throughout the last two years. (about 20 of them)

I hope this helps a little. Thanks again for all the help, and I wish everyone luck!!
