Congratulations

remember to update the SS card info 

 

I believe this is the SS-5 form, right? 

Immigration journey is not: fast, for the faint at heart, easy, cheap, for the impatient nor right away. If more than 50% of this applies to you, best get off the bus.

Need I sadly more? 

Finished at 1pm CST, Houston office, Saturday August 14th, 2021. It had been a long journey. 

I cannot believe mine has ended and someone else's is beginning.

Congrats! It's a relief to be all done, but a little empty at the same time as immigration related stuff has been such a big part of our lives for years. But now it's time to enjoy never having to deal with USCIS again. 

To be frank that’s how I felt after the journey was over. The text updates as ones petition passed through the various stages were both exciting and nerve wracking. Now no more, no more mountains 🏔  to climb.

 

Overall however the end of that journey is very satisfying.

 

Congratulations 🎉🎈🍾🎊 to the new citizen!

Just another random guy from the internet with an opinion, although usually backed by data!
