Hello all you VJErs!

I actually just wanted to take a moment and send you all my most sincere thanks. I just recieved my permanent residency card after waiting nearly four months for it. I have been going through this entire process since 2010 when I filed my K1 visa, then filed my adjustment of status in 2011, and now I am now nearing the very end of this journey.

I would never have been able to go through this process without the assistance I have gained in this community. Each and every one of you have been more than helpful with not only assisting me with any questions or issues, but with everyone else who happens to find a home here. You all are fantastic and I seriously would not have known where to start if it wasn't for all of you, the guides on this forum, and the general overall goodness of the people on these forums.

I will still be hovering around because I still have to work on my naturalization in the future, but I just wanted to send a shout out to you all. :D :D

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Love,

Paulina
