LAST UPDATE: The 10-year GC arrives by mail. It is beautiful and yes, it is green! :whistle:

Whoever did the post-2010 redesign has done a super job. Wish I could say the same of my pic in there too,the one taken during the biometrics. Looks like I was scared to death of the whole process :hehe:

A total of 90 days from start to finish, no RFEs. Smooth, seamless and pain-free process. A lot of lessons learnt along the way, some that will last a lifetime. I now wait the completion of the three-years-of-GC mark to file for naturalization.

To all those of you still in the process: all the very best of luck. To all my other fellow March filers, it was great doing this journey with you. Am hoping we can all reband together again, sometime in the future. Happy ROC-ing!

Keeping my fingers crossed that all those of you having/waiting for interviews also reach the finish line soon. Keeping you in my thoughts.

Again Congratulation for the success :)

Good luck! You will receive at least three more emails, first when your card is ready for pick up, the second when USPS picks up your card and the third, when USPS delivers. In addition, you may receive two more emails, approving your I-130 and I-485 and two hard copy mails for the approvals. Enjoy the waiting experience!

Congrats MrsNotBonJovi!!

I just received my harcopy I-130 approval and Welcome letter in the mail today, still no card is processing email though-- in my case it seems to be taking a little longer than the EAD from approval to arriving. Hopefully by late this week or early next I should have mine in had too.

I know that I will be sending off Form I-751 within a few days of that 90 day window being open, so perhaps I will see some familiar faces around that thread also.

OK Everyone...

I got my Interview scheduled !!! However, I am in the situation I hoped to avoid. It is falling on the 24th. Me and my Wife booked our Honeymoon from 7/16 - 7/24 so we can't make it to the Interview. I called today to try and re-schedule (which is not recommended). I spoke with USCIS officer who was very nice and tried to understand my situation. He said he opened a note and will notify the New York Office and it is up to them if they are willing to re-schedule. I started to write down the confirmation # but accidentally hanged the call. :angry: . I will call tomorrow morning to check that everything was recorded and to see my options. Any thoughts are welcome..

Again, I am happy and not so happy on the same time. This is our Honeymoon ....
