Well, 2 1/2 weeks less than a year after I sent in my I-751 application I am finally approved for my 10 year green card! Yay! On to citizenship now - the window opens in 2 weeks. I'm still waiting for tax transcripts from the IRS so it will be a few days after the anniversary but finally, good news! I was so very discouraged about all of this last week and wrote my Senator asking for his help. They made the inquiry this Monday (I wrote them Friday), and today I get my approval. I think it helped even though we were already in the window - their inquiry got the file off of the desk where it was acting like a paper weight.

Congrats Kathryn - its been a long haul for you!

Yeah Kathryn!!! Sorry you have more paperwork in the horizon, but the end IS near!!

Congratulations - I guess I hadn't followed closely enough to know it had been so long for you - how wonderful

There's a good chance that I could get a transfer to our sister company in NYC. Right now, the recession is not working in my favour, but I've put in the ask with my HR person and she is 100% in support of me, so that is a good feeling.

Fingers crossed the timing will work out and I can get something lined up. That would make the move so much less daunting knowing I have a job to look forward to once I get my EAD!

My good news - got married a week ago Friday, got the marriage certificate today in the mail, am officially filing the I-130 on Monday. Yahoo!!! Yippee!!! Hallelujah!!! I've been dancing around like a 6 year old girl that has to pee. Ah... finally we can get this show on the road. Now we can move on to the part you've all been through, or are all going through - the waiting. Who would think I'd be looking forward to the waiting?
