Nice to know they are fast at something! Congratulations.

“...Isn't it splendid to think of all the things there are to find out about? It just makes me feel glad to be alive--it's such an interesting world. It wouldn't be half so interesting if we knew all about everything, would it? There'd be no scope for imagination then, would there?”

Hi Lissa04,

:star: Congratulations, Lissa04 for getting your 10yr Green Card!!! :star:

After such a long 11 month wait, you deserve it! It's good to know that the VSC is doing something, even if it takes a long 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, Lissa04!

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

Ant (Still waiting at the VSC...)

No what I mean it was fast to produce the GC, I found out on Friday that I was approved and the card arrived Monday. By no means is this process fast!

Good luck,

Lissa
