Hello everyone,

just thought I'd share the good news...woke up this morning to a beautiful email from USCIS... :P

My case was approved and my new card production was ordered yesterday!!!! :dance::dance:

I went through Vermont, they received my petition on october, 5th 2006 and my extention letter was dated october, 18th. I was supposed to get my biometrics done back in november, but was only able to complete them at the end of march since I was in Europe from october, 3rd to march, 26th 2007.

I am applying for citizenship later on this year for the very next step! Although getting the 10 year GC pretty much make me feel as I am done. :)

Good luck to everyone who is still waiting for an approval, may it be as speedy as possible!!! :star:

Have a nice day everyone! May it be one full of new approvals!!!! :star:

Congrats!! Took me about 6 months from start to finsih going through vermont. I received the actual card 5-6 days after I got that email. Congrats

Canadians Visiting the USA while undergoing the visa process, my free advice:

1) Always tell the TRUTH. never lie to the POE officer

2) Be confident in ur replies

3) keep ur response short and to the point, don't tell ur life story!!

4) look the POE officer in the eye when speaking to them. They are looking for people lieing and have been trained to find them!

5) Pack light! No job resumes with you

6) Bring ties to Canada (letter from employer when ur expected back at work, lease, etc etc)

7) Always be polite, being rude isn't going to get ya anywhere, and could make things worse!!

8) Have a plan in case u do get denied (be polite) It wont harm ur visa application if ur denied,that is if ur polite and didn't lie! Refer to #1

Congratulations! Please excuse me for asking this silly question: where did you put your email address on I-751? I only see "email address" option in Part 7. Signature of person preparing form, if other than above. If I am preparing I-751 myself, where can I put my email address?

Thanks,

I assume you're asking because you would like to get updates about your case by email, correct? You can do that by creating a new customer portfolio account on www.uscis.gov. Once you have a receipt number you can add it to your portfolio and you can choose to have "email on" to receive automatic email updates and notifications about your case. It is very simple and it lays it out pretty well on the website.

Hope it helps.

And thanks everyone for your congrats!
