OMG! :blink:

After almost a year (by a week) I finally got my Permanent Residence Card in the mail!!!!

I am soooo happy...After my application for AOS on 9-1-2006 I had to go through;

* 2 RFE's

* 2 x biometrics

* Case being denied

* Talks with attorney

* Apply again (+ paying all fees)

* Re do Medical examn (+paying all fees

:dance: So, I guess you can see my reason for joy!

WOW...am I gonna celebrate! :thumbs:

Is this actually the same as a green card? Or is that the card you get after the 2 years?

Anyway, I`m glad I never gave up, cause it paid off in the end.

Now I know I can stay safe and especially legitimate with my beautiful wife!

I still have to update my timeline, I`ll do that soon....

Congrats! for both!

if you got approved for at the interview, and you been married less than 2 yrs you will get a 2 yrs conditional green card.

If you been married more than 2 years you will get a 10 yrs card.

both need renewal BUT the 2 yrs conditional one needs to "lift conditions" 90 days before it expires.

According to Phoenix Processing office they will take 5 months to process, lets see if they keep their "promised schedule".. (hahaha yeah right)

08/02/2010 ... Send the paperwork to Phoenix, AZ

08/04/2010 ... Paperwork received at 9am

08/06/2010 ... Check cashed

08/10/2010 ... Touched

08/12/2010 ... NOA arrived (notice date: 08/06/2010; mailed on 08/09/2010)

09/04/2010 ... email: RFE sent on 09/03/2010 (biometrics?? hopefully waiting!)

09/08/2010 ... Touched. BIOMETRICS CAME TODAY! (notice date/mailed on: 09/03/2010; biometrics for 09/22/2010 at 11 a.m.)

.......................... Interview notice date: Oct 1, 2010

11/03/2010 ... Interview 11 am!! (PASSED!!!!)

12/30/2010 ... Oath notice (dated 12/22/2010, mailed on 12/29/2010) for 01/20/2011 at 8am!! FINALLY!!!!

Hi there- congratulations on the great news. It sounds like you've had a crazy journey!

I just wanted to let you know that you'll have to keep track of the date to file for the lifting of conditions yourself. USCIS does not remind you. Mark a few calendars just in case, lol. You will have to file for the lifting of conditions 90 days prior to the expiry of the conditional green card. Good luck & enjoy being a permanent resident!!
