Yes, the new Green Card arrived before the Baby, chronological-wise, based on the following....

Green Card arrival = 06/05/2009

Baby arrival= 07/??/2009

But....10/13 YR Green Card = 291 days for arrival

Baby = 280 days (give or take a few days/weeks) for arrival

Therefore, waiting and time-wise.....The Baby came/will come first!!!....:)

And yes, I have "more surprises" for evidence to the USCIS when I file for US Citizenship in August 2009!

Meanwhile, "I'm taking a VJ vacation until Citizenship!"....

See you all again later....Stay tuned for more AntandD updates here on VJ soon!.....

Good luck everyone, on the rest of your immigration journeys too!

Hi Ant,

Congratulations! So happy for you! So the answer is GC received first before baby arrived, now you can finally relaxed until you have to file for citizenship, by that time you will have new house purchase and baby as proof. Yay!! Sounds Good!!

Wish you and D have a cute healthy baby, let it be a bundle of joy! :star:

Best Wishes,

jasminelily

P.S. I'm still waiting for my approval notice! :crying: Where is it? :crying:

Lol...according to my "new 13-yr green card" it says:

Card Expires: 05/28/19

Resident Since: 11/14/06

So based on that, yes, it is valid for 13 years (well, 12.5 years really)..... :lol:

USCIS Error in my favour!: :thumbs:

Not that it matters anyways, since I will have to surrender/give up my new card when I have US Citizenship...

Therefore:

Actual Card Valid for 13 years....

Actual Use of Card (8 months..What a waste!).....

2 months (June 2009 and July 2009, prior to citizenship application)+ 6 months (August 2009-January 2010, assuming 6 months for the citizenship process, still using card before citizenship oath)

Humour Me, Again, USCIS!.... :whistle:

Ant

Are you sure that your GC is valid for 13 years instead of 10 years? if was approved in 2009 until 2028 (2019-2009= 10 years)

hi everybody

waiting for these plastic 10 year cards has become so annoying--i was approved april 27th with hard copy in the mailbox---nothing since then--status still says case is transerred and pending on website--i called and made a service enquiry and received another hard copy in my mailbox at home that my card was PENDING card production---i know there is 8 week delay but why are some people getting their cards with the same approval time/filing date as mine---cant they just make a LARGE batch of them at once---cant they just press a button and dispatch a huge patch of cards at once---come on already how long does it take to upgrade a computer and why are some people getting cards and some not? what do you think?

Hi Everyone,

Again.....

:star: Thank you for all your congratulations and well-wishes, fellow VJers! :star:

And yes, it certainly has been a long I-751 journey and a long wait, indeed!

Lessons that I learned during this I-751 process:

1) Don't give up!

2) Be persistent!

3) Expedites/Inquiries do help!

4) I-751= A Waste of Time and Money!

5) Most Importantly: Thank goodness for VJ! I couldn't have made it without the help from all of you here... :star:

Alas, my immigration journey and other journeys are not over yet...

So stay tunned for more AntandD updates on VJ.... :)

Good luck Everyone, on the rest of your immigration journeys too!

Ant (My I-751 Journey Ends, My Life Journey Continues....)
