Greencard approved in 5 months

Hi All,

I am not bragging so please don't slam us for this! I want to post this to help other people. And also to demonstrate how CIS doesn't work in order of date received. Granted we probably sent to much (even Kiva and YouTube!) but we were determined to send everything possible to prevent RFEs. A note on the photographs, we didn't send individually printed photos on photo paper (why waste the money?). Instead I ganged up 9 photos on an 8 1/2 x 11 and printed them with a color ink jet.

I must also say I am highly disappointed that President Obama is not in the president line-up on the back of the green card.
