I was a little worried because my mail lady came and dropped off mail. I immediately went to the mail box, but nothing was inside. Yet, the tracking for my green card said it was out for delivery. I was hoping it wasn't accidentally put into any of the other mail boxes (I live in an apartment). But, about 5 minutes later, the mail lady returned and plopped in a bunch more mail, including my green card! Phew!!
Without further ado, here's a picture :)
And now I don't have to deal with USCIS for another 10 years, woohoo! :)

Hey, this is Gervl from VJ (Toronto to Hawaii). I just remembered your blog the other day and came to check it out now. Congratulations, dude! Are you going to pursue naturalization? I guess I figured that's what most people did, never crossed my mind to just keep renewing your GC. I ROC in March - will definitely be referring to your guides yet again!
ReplyDeleteHi!! I remember you from VJ! ;)
DeleteThanks! Nope, as of now, no naturalization for me. Although most people do do it. Not me though. With the current state of this country, I don't want to be American. I'd never be a "proud American". So, unless the country shapes up, I'm not applying. I'll just renew my GC every 10 years.
Hehe, if you have any questions for ROC, just hit me up either here or on VJ. I'll of course gladly answer!
Hi Saylin,
ReplyDeleteWas wondering in your cover letter for I-751, did you and your husband sign it or it was just your husband that signed it?
Both of us signed. It wouldn't make any sense for just him to sign it as it's not his petition, it's mine. I'm the one removing conditions, not him. But instead of just me signing, I thought it'd be a good idea to have him as well since it shows more of a co-mingling relationship.
DeleteCongratulations! Getting a green card is not an easy journey, as you would have to go through many documents and wait for a long time. It's good that you kept a guideline here. Many can make use of this as reference to their own immigration journey.

ReplyDeleteThanks! I was definitely relieved back in September when I finally got it!
DeleteLindsay. Congrats ! May I get some advice from you ? Please drop a line to rbaraldi@hotmail.com Thanks
ReplyDeleteIt was a year ago, but thank you, hehe. And you can ask your question here. I don't give out my personal email to strangers.
DeleteHi saylin. I just got here in the USA last november 2014. Is there an interview after 2 years? Is that an interview for me and my husband? Thanks
ReplyDeleteIf you came on a CR-1 visa and got a 2 year green card, you'll need to apply for ROC (Removal of Conditions) within 90 days of your green card expiring. Interviews are not required by everyone, it's random (or in red flag cases). Please see USCIS's case and the I-751 form that is for the ROC process.
