FINALLY after 3 and a half years and exactly one day shy of the 6 month mark after sending in the removal of conditions packet(NOA1 was August 25, 2014), we received a text notification to check the USCIS site. My husband's 10 year green card was approved and it's in the mail. Just one last step, applying for citizenship which he can start in July of this year. There is a light at the end of the tunnel. We have had a very smooth journey in spite of the nay sayers who warned us that because of certain "red flags" we have in our marriage our journey would be long and difficult. We sailed through the entire process from start to finish. No RFE's, no significant delays, just a few weeks of AP after his interview at the consulate in Amman. To those nay sayers who told us there was no way we be approved because I happen to be 20 years older than my husband, and because he is Muslim and I am Catholic, because I am divorced with children and that we were married not long after meeting for the first time, we prevailed. I am not sure why a certain few people go out of their way to intentionally scare people who are in the midst of this long journey, people who insist that just because you may or may not fit the conventional mold of what a relationship is supposed to look like, that there is no way you will succeed in this journey without pain and heartache. This community is about supporting others, not about adding stress to an already stressful process.

I want to send a shout out to the rest community here at VJ, the majority of whom are kind, compassionate and very VERY knowledgeable. Without the guidance, support and advice from the members here we never would have been able to complete this process on our own. When the time comes for my husband to apply for citizenship I am sure we will be back for more sage advice from the many wonderful members of this community.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts,

Cathi and Moath

Wow that is awesome..I am happy for you both. What are the docs you guys sent to them?

I sent them everything I had... so many things I can't list or even remember them all. Joint bank statements, joint health, dental and life insurance showing myself and my children the beneficiaries, a copy of the mortgage from the house we purchased together, joint car insurance, joint homeowners insurance, copy of drivers licenses showing shared address, 2 affidavits from friends, joint electric, joint oil heating bills, joint cable tv, joint ownership of cars, joint cell phone bills, copies of passport stamps and plane tickets for the trip we took to Jordan with the kids last year, joint credit card statements and I know i sent much more but I simply cannot remember it all.
