the green card arrived today :dance: !! i wanted to thank everyone on this board for all of their help. i know that i didn't post a lot, but i'm pretty sure that i read every word that other people posted.

now that i have an idea of how this process works, i'd be happy to help anyone else who needs it. i don't know if ours was a uscis record, but it's pretty close. the green card arrived less than 3 months after we sent the aos package. 80 days to be exact (71 after we got the first NOA). it looks like now i'll have to take back all those horrible thoughts i've had towards uscis in the past months!

now my husband and i can start our *real* life together, knowing that no one can send him away because we filled out the wrong form, or didn't have a big wedding ceremony, or didn't have enough financial proof that we are a couple (it's had to have financial proof that you're a couple when neither person has money!! :blush: that doesn't mean we're not a real couple; it means that we're broke! being a student tends to have that effect.), or any of the other stupid things that i've worried about that could have prevented my husband from staying here with me. now we can both work and travel and live in peace! i wish everyone else here the same.
