7 months, no interview and received GC in mail... :)

So this has been a long process of about 7 months and I finally got her green card in the mail on Thursday.. She is in Nepal currently and I will go next week to be with her for a month and then we both return to the US.

They required about 5 copies of my taxes(OK only 4 after telling me I didn't make enough despite showing 8 houses with appraisals, more than 100K in the bank and income in top 5%  They really don't know what they are doing it seems.), 3 of my birth certificates, 3 of hers  ( seems like they might be losing them??) and then last an updated 325A form with our current residence listed there.

 

Advance parole came about a month ago.. and then she went to Nepal for a project there.

 

We did the biometrics ( fingerprints) but never had an interview, had to prove a relationship or anything else. The GC was just in the mail when I got home.

 

Maybe that interview happens after the 2 year mark?

 

On a side note I keep trying to update my timeline here but it says that I shouldn't be there on that page each time...:(

 

Things I have learned through this process... 1- Patience, it takes what it takes. 2- Be very thorough as they are going to lose paperwork a lot so make copies of everything.3- Calling a senator does help.. For those who say it doesn't sorry, I have had him (Senator Hatch) on the line with the embassy office and my stuff got processed as we were speaking instead of waiting for who knows how long. ( this was after they sat on my paperwork for a month). With his help we picked it up in an hour. 4- Being married to a foreigner is a beautiful thing! I love the differences as much as the similarities and things we have in common.  

 

Life is great and hopefully one more child at least is in God's plans.. Good luck to all of you!
