And it is here, for last two weeks, since they mailed me welcome notice they have been updating my online status almost every other day. Since our interview in Garden City it is almost 2 months, but it's great feeling when you have it finally in your hands. And the processing time for New York City is really nice lately ( at lest if you are not having extended FBI checks like some of you here ).

Now I just need some vacation from my work to go and visit my family in Poland. I haven't seen them for almost a year. And the vacation will be mayyybe somewhere in September :cry: . But so is it; first you have to much free time but no documents and money to travel, then you have a great job and documents but no vacation :yes:
