It's meant to be quicker...in theory. But it does mean you most likely not have an interview :thumbs:

I can explain it to you. But I can't understand it for you.

Thanks for letting me know guys! Well, hopefully they won't take too long! However, I have a feeling it might cos there's the Thanksgiving, Christmas and NYE period coming up :rolleyes:

And no interview? I wonder if that's how they are doing it now for everyone!

My green card and my welcome letter arrived together this morning. The envelope that had the card in it didn't seem to have ever been sealed...that's a worry, but the contents were intact :star:

We have seen each other through a lot when you think of it. From the start. I shudder to think how much harder this all would have been without all of you !
