Just got my 10 year PR after 5 months

[naija_bobo 0]

I just got the condition removed on my PR. I received my 10-year PR card in the mail today considering the fact that I only filed 5 months ago. This came as a big suprise as I have read different stories about delays and how slow it takes USCIS to response.

Should I say I was lucky or is this 5 months processing time a norm/average? Please share your experience in terms of the processing time.

Here is a brief timeline:

July 10th, 2006 - Mailed I-751 package to USCIS California center

August 16th, 2006 - Received I-797C NOA (1 year extension of CPR)

August 17th, 2006 - Received I-797C NOA (Biometrics)

August 23rd, 2006 - Went for biometrics appointment

December 6th, 2006 - Received 10yrs PR in the mail with condition removed

As you can see the whole process took approximaetly 5 months.

Here is a list of documents I included with my I-751 package:

1) Letter to USCIS introducing my wife (she sponsored me, she's a US citizen) and I, purpose of filing and a list of all the documents included in my package.

2) form I-751

3) 2 Passport size Photographs

4) Filing fee

5) Copy of Conditional PR card

6) 2 letters from a relative & a friend with knowledge of our marriage

7) I-797 NOA (this is the letter that came with my Conditional PR card)

8) Documents showing evidence of relationship. All these documents had both of our names on them. This included:

a)Birth certificate of our child

B) House grant deed (you can use rental agreement if you don't own a home)

c) Joint bank account, Utility bill

d) Car registration, auto insurance

e) marriage certificate

f) property tax

g) property insurance (if you have rental insurance use that instead)

h) Joint loan

i) Federal income tax

j) water bill

I wish the rest of you out there awaiting your approval GOOD LUCK!

AT LAST!!!
