Green Card approval

[ONA 133]

$1070, 10.5 months, several useless calls to USCIS, 1 service request, 1 inquiry to the congressman's office and I am officially a permanent resident of the USA! Green Card approved, finally!

I think my case was just collecting dust under somebody's table until we started bothering them.

Sorry. Are you a permanent or conditional permanent resident? I'm getting very anxious, after six months. Looks like I still have a couple of months to go.

congrats

Congratulations! We also found congressional inquiries to be helpful. Those staffers have direct connections to USCIS liason managers that we common folk can't get to.

Congratulations! It feels so great to be at that point. I am so sorry it took so long though! Ours was around 4 months max I believe. Enjoy each other now.

Congratulations! Russia's loss is our gain!!

Thank you, guys! I'm glad this wait is over! Now I can finally start planning a trip back to Russia or Ukraine. My parents have been to the US twice since I moved here, now it's my turn.

I'm a conditional LPR.

Congratulations, that was a long wait.

Read up on the requirements for removal of conditions. The two years goes pretty quick. Remember to apply within the small window for ROC; not too soon, not late, but just right.

You will be surprised how quickly it all goes now that you don't have the USCIS lurking over your head. Time to dance. :dance:

Congrats...

It's strange to me how AOS works so diffrently for some people. We had no interview and it was approved in under 3 months. Others have gnashing of teeth, submitting evidence and long waits. (shrugs shoulders)...

Maybe it is the Kherson connection. We had no interview either

Thanks! I'll keep that in mind.

We didn't have an interview either. Moreover, at first things were moving very quickly and our case was tharsferred to CSC within 3 weeks after filing the paperwork. Then CSC just stopped working! If you look through the AOS forum, you'll see that a lot of people have to wait for 8-11 months before their GC is approved, unfortunately... The worst thing is that our local office is very efficient and I kept thinking that I'd rather had to go through an interview than through such a long wait. We didn't receive an RFE or anything, which makes me think that the case had been sitting on (or under) somebody's desk until we started bothering them.
