Received it yesterday!

That's a week after receiving notice that the I751 had been approved.

Starngely though, the Online status site still says they're reviewing our case. I guess they don't update that too often.

So there it is, 4 years from bringing wife here to getting the permanent GC and the only hitch was that despite applying for and paying $250 and being approved for an EAD, we never received it.

I'm so glad it's over! (naturalization is next.)

Thanks all!

Hi FrankBooth,

:star: Congratulations, FrankBooth for getting your 10yr Green Card!!! :star:

After such a long ?? (how long was it for you exactly) month wait, she deserves it! It's good to know that the VSC is doing something, even if it takes a long time. Too bad though, you couldn't get a refund for the I-751, as you only have the 10yr card for a short time now.

Oh well, onto the next stage of citizenship for you, FrankBooth!

Good luck too on the Citizenship application and the rest of the immigration journey!

Ant (Still waiting at the VSC...)

P.S. Since you applied for the I-751 at the VSC, you can add your name and information to the following "VSC I-751 Status List", as this is helpful to all VJers here. Thanks!:
