My status got updated to 'New Card Is Being Produced'. Its been a long long wait. Last few months were very trying and I was loosing patience. And now, I don't feel any sense of excitement or relief yet. I want to feel excited, but I guess I am jaded.

Many congratulations to all. Wish you the very best in life and career.

Gten I have seen you around for a long time now. I know sometimes things are too little too late. But I am sure there is a long road ahead and lots of new memories to make! So cheers to that!

Thanks Q. The GC journey took me 19 years. I still remember my flight to US like it was yesterday. This forum has been immensely helpful to say the least.

Shared this forum with lot of friends and some are anxiously waiting to write similar first time messages (Hopefully Soon ).

Idliman - Shared your Green Card/USPS story with few friends and one of my friend response was thats his Thriller movie for that weekend . We are so glad that everything at the end worked out well for you, especially after waiting for years it must have been so much to go through at the end!

How beautiful it is that you and others register just to share the news and say thanks! I already knew that hundreds of thousands of unique visitors visit us every month. But I will be honest with you - I DID NOT IMAGINE - that there are people visiting forum for nine years straight and never registered.

I am very happy for you and will be happy for anybody else. It is about damn time this misery ends for so many of you. I hope this newfound freedom opens up new horizons. My heartfelt wishes to you and your family.

Many Congratulations.!

So happy to see a lot of old timers getting GC. This forum is one and by far the best immigration forum there is. This keeps all of us sane in difficult times. Thanks Q, Spec, Kanmani, Idliman and so many others.

[MeraNumber09]

It?s finally my turn. Got our GCs card yesterday. After many twist and turn, finally light at the end of tunnel. I had received an RFIE even after submitting all docs and being DQ?ed. Talking to L2 agent did not resolve as he could not see the content of RFIE. Waited for 15 days to open an SR for RFIE not received. The very next day the status changed to card being produced. After three day it changed to case approved.

Thanks to Q, spec, Kanmani, idliman, turbulent dragonfly and various others who have kept this online community going.

For folks who are still waiting, please hang in there. Your tun will come. Please feel free to ask any question . Happy to assist.
