Congratulations, we are in Baltimore and received notification that the welcome letters were mailed on June 20. Baltimore is a tough room from what I have seen in my 5 or 6 visits. The clerks are generally clueless and the officer we had was humorless.

thank you guys !! :)

couple of questions, there was a notice with the approval letter stating pursuant to section 216 you have been granted conditional permanent residence and than it gives dates to have the condition lifted, it is initialed by someone on the immigration signature line but there is blank lines for petitioner's and beneficiary signatures, there are no instructions if we are to send this in and to who?

Do you think it will take 9-12 months to get the actual green card like the letter says? Does it come from Vermont? We have an appt end of this month to get the stamp but it would be nice to have the actual card.

Lorenzo they sure are tough, we've been held up so long on bogus #######, "one" day error on the birth certificate which they knew from the beginning and vaccines required he didn't need per their guidelines, shewwwwwwww , it's cost us money and time but finally we got it !! :)
