Finally after watching people who submitted their applications around the same time as us getting approved at VSC we finally received the email saying my wife's card production has been ordered as of June 25, 2007 :dance: !!! We were getting frustrated...especially once we saw that glitch they had when the processing date went from November 06' back to June 06' :help: . Our forced patience was finally rewarded though and to those who submitted around the same time as we did but haven't received any notification yet all I can say is continue to have faith, you will be notified so just keep checking your email and your case status on the USCIS web site. Up next, Naturalization (Citizenship) in late November (the earliest my wife can apply I believe) :clock: .

Upon further review, Naturalization will have to wait until mid December as that's the earliest we can file as you have to submit your petition 90 days before your anniversary date of gaining your permanent residency. The fee's are getting ridiculous though...seems like they're going up exponentially but we're not seeing an equal increase in the quality and efficiency of the USCIS processing procedure :protest: .
