Currently.... they have issued Ice the incorrect GC and we have tried 4 times to fix it. First time they had us send it to the incorrect address. Second time they said we used an expired form, which was the form they gave us. Third time was "oh sorry we lost the last page, can you send it again?." Fourth time is the gov is shut down. Will this ever be corrected in time for Ice to get the permanent GC? Stay tuned to find out. T_T

Congratulation! Good luck with your next steps.

I guess I was one of the lucky ones because I found out from the uscis website, I decided to check towards the end of the work day. I got the email first but I was unable to see it because I was talking on my phone to Pui. Like Karee said there are people who never received the text or email and have since been in the country for years.
