:dance::dance: At last! The process is finished....for now anyway ;) We had our interview last Oct.12 in Detroit and the case officer assigned to us could not have been anymore nicer. We kidded him when he took my (very fresh from the mail, never been used) EAD card if he could just give us a refund for it. :P Fat chance! hahaha But he did say that with order comming from the President that cases like ours should be adjusted in 6mos or less, filing for the EAD did seem unnecessary....considering that my EAD only got approved after 90 days and my GC only 30 days later....Oh well......

He also did mention that with their "new" system, the GC should theorerically arrive in the mail in 2 weeks....hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.......well we were in luck, We got the "welcome to America" mail 1 week after the interview and the card did arrive another week after the letter came :hehe: At last....the system was working with us.

Well, we just want to thank everyone on this site...its been a wealth of info and advice...and it kept us sane during the endless waiting!!! THANKS A LOT
