my wife received her 10 year green card in the mail yesterday.

I feel like we've run a marathon race, and we made it to the finish line, now time to relax and maybe consider citizenship.

what a long journey it's been!

good luck people, keep going, I'll update my timeline soon, and tell more about our story!

Congratulations! What was the RFE about? Were you interviewed by USCIS before they issued the permanent green card or the interview was not needed?

I-130 Timeline with USCIS:

It took 92 days for I-130 to get approved from the filing date

NVC Process of I-130:

It took 78 days to complete the NVC process

Interview Process at The U.S. Embassy

I don't know, the RFE was not specific, it gave a general list of things "but not limited to", just like when you first send in the form for lifting conditions. So I wasn't sure what to send in. I researched it here on Visa Journey, and it looked like everyone who got an RFE, theirs was very specific in what it asked for.

Nevertheless, we were approved without interview.

I'm trying to find the copy of the cover letter I mailed to USCIS along with the RFE to show you all a list of what evidence we submitted, both originally and with the RFE, as I think we didn't submit nearly as much as most people do.

Thanks a lot. It will be very helpful info, if you can find out what you sent out initially before RFE and what you sent out after RFE. We will start our process in July, but it is good to know in advance.

ok here is the cover letter I sent with our application for lifting of conditonal status, you can see that we supplied a relatively smaller amount of evidence than most people have. With the original app, it was mainly just financial stuff. We didn't send any affidavits, only on photo:

the point is, we made it with a relatively limited amount of evidence. I've heard a lot of people send in a lot more, and still have to go in to an interview. I thought for sure we would, but we made it.

anyway, just don't worry people!
