It's finally my turn to share the good news!!🎊 After what seemed like eternity (3yrs, 9months), I finally have my green card!!!
I've been a quiet member of this forum and it has indeed been helpful. Thank you All! Special thanks to @Sandra G. for encouraging me to do this. Thanks for all you do!
3 RFEs (Good moral character, medical and I-864 Affidavit of Support Exemption).
1 Prima Facie a week before form I-360 approval after my lawyer and congressman wrote USCIS
To everyone else still waiting for their approvals, please don't hesitate to reach out to your congressperson, update your "safe address" and stay hopeful. I know the wait is tough but keep holding on - it will be worth it.
