Great news this morning. Welcome to the USA letter was sent yesterday.

So, we are back on track planning our vacation this summer. The cat is being sent out of the

house until August. (I'm allergic). Living room is being turned into our bedroom.

Galina will be staying for about 3 months, I'll stay for the first month, work back in the States for

a while, and then return for the last 2 weeks or so. Galina and her mom will probably go to Sochi

for a vacation while I'm gone.

When are you going?

Also, what is this "welcome to the USA" letter? I'm assuming that's the advance parole since you're going on vacation?

Ensure your beneficiary makes and brings with them to the States a copy of the DS-3025 (vaccination form)

If the government is going to force me to exercise my "right" to health care, then they better start requiring people to exercise their Right to Bear Arms. - "Where's my public option rifle?"

The "Welcome to the USA" letter is what the send after a green card is approved. It says that you have permanent resident status, and to expect a green card in the mail.

I feel safe booking tickets now. In the worst case, the green card won't show up. We can make an infopass appointment, show them the letter and tickets, and ask for an I-551 stamp. We're getting changeable tickets anyway, so not much risk.
