Hi all,

yesterday I got my US passport, which was ready in less than 2 weeks, and today I went to the Social Security Office to change my status from "resident" to

"US citizen" and with that after almost exactly 5 years I'm done with the American Immigration.

I wanted to thank all the nice & very helpful PEOPLE have helped me here during these 5 years and also the staff of VJ. I'm very sure that without you guys it would have been more difficult & more expensive. THANK YOU SO MUCH FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY (L) for your enormous help and for giving me the opportunity to have also met some very nice ppl that then became my friends. I wish to all of you out there good luck & all the best!!!!!!Love to all of you!!!!

“...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?”
