Hello Guys,

I am a permanent resident as of today. I got a stamp on my passport this morning. Thanks God, my journey is over.

My interview lasted about 15 minutes and I went by myself, I did not go with my lawyer and honestly you don't need one for this interview. all what they ask me was for my birth certificate and my divorce decree and the NO questions on the I485.

Thank you everybody for your support during my journey.

I wish you all the best luck

Congratulations Niagara, and to everyone, Good Luck!

I found a civil surgeon for my medical exam [form I-693], called them this morning, was told that they don't accept health insurance, payment by credit card/personal check, only cash. I have no choice, tomorrow I have an appointment, I have to shell out about $500, the visit-$150, MMR, PPD/TB testing, about $75 each. Blood work for another $150.

It's a good thing that we are exempted from producing the I-864 or Affidavit of Support.

I will call the Nat'l Service Center tomorrow, I'm hoping they can help and answer my questions. If I called my lawyer, she will bill me again. My interview is next month, I'm getting nervous. I'm not able to enjoy the holidays even though I'm very thankful to the Lord that he willed my self-petition to be approved.

Anyway, thank you guys for being here. If anyone has any ideas on how I should proceed, I would truly appreciate it.

Bubbles I only paid $150 for my medical in Jersey City

Bubbles I think you should go to the interview alone, save your money. It was the lord's will that your petition was approved, he will not lead you this far and disappoint you.

Niagara can you tell us about your experience at the interview?

[lostinNJ 3]

Guys for those of you who have been approved for your I-360 and Green Card, please don't be a stranger. Please visit every once in a while so we can help those going through the same situation we went through. Before this forum was started most of us had limited information on little things like timeline and just the whole process really. So I ask you guys to please stop by atleast once a week if you can. To all of your who have been approved for your green card, a big congratulations I saw and felt most of your pain and we held each other up. For everyone now going through this process, I wish you all good luck, try not think about it too much and always remember you have each other in here, stick together, everything will be fine. Finally to my good friend EWTN, where ever you are, my prayers are always with you and your family. I don't have words to say how much I appreciate everything you have done for me and everyone else on this forum.

Hi everyone and to LostinNJ, I've decided to go the interview by myself, I really think that I can do it.

I had my medical this morning, I paid $450. One of the vaccinations that I got, my left arm is swollen. I hope that I can work overtime this weekend to make up for it. Anyway, thank you Lost, also Honest, Niagara and everyone.
