:dance: Checked my online status before I left work today and there it was; my green card has been approved and is on its way to me! I just wanted to say how lucky I feel for having such a smooth immigration process when others around here have had such long waits and bumps along the way. It took only three and a half months for me to get my K1 from start to finish and now three and a half months to get my green card from start to finish! Biggest happiness from receiving the approval; the fact that I can now leave the country when I want to!

Very Happy for you Ladybutterfly!

I very curious as to where you filed your application for AOS?

My understanding is that they all (atleast family based, K-1) must be sent to Chicago, IL and it seems it is taking much longer than just three or four months to get approved.

Did you just file locally in California??

Thanks,

Richard. (Russianluv) :D

Richard, I filed my AOS at the Chicago Lockbox and I think they then transfer the file to your local office (mine was Chula Vista, CA) not too sure how the procedure works though!
