After worrying for the last 11 months and many many grey hairs later, I was finally approved with no RFE or interview on Nov 21, 08. I want to thank all of you who have helped make this long journey alot easier. I don't think I could have done it without this site, and the kind hearted people on here.

For now I am still in shock..... :wow:

Next step apply for citizenship on Dec 21, 08.

Thanks once again,

Lissa

Congratulations!!! Looks that VSC is moving -slowly- but starting to catch up again...I just hope they get more approvals by day!

Did you received the approval by mail notification or your online status changed?

Thanks,

Cherr

Hi Cherr,

I checked my online status, I recieved an email, however it went to my spam. I thought for sure I would have been called in for an interview, especially after seeing people after me get approved. When did you send in your application?

Best of Luck,

Lissa

Hi Lissa04,

:star: Congratulations, Lissa04 for getting your 10yr Green Card!!! :star:

After such a long 11 month wait, she deserves it! It's good to know that the VSC is doing something, even if it takes a long time. Too bad though, you couldn't get a refund for the I-751, as you only have the 10yr card for a short time now.

Oh well, onto the next stage of citizenship for you, Lissa04!

Good luck too on the Citizenship application and the rest of the immigration journey!

Ant (Still waiting at the VSC...)

P.S. Since you applied for the I-751 at the VSC, you can add your name and information to the following "VSC I-751 Status List", as this is helpful to all VJers here. Thanks!:
