Family Based Greencard

Hello All,

All thanks to God and the experiences shared on this forum, I finally got my Greencard in hand today. The experiences shared really helped me in keeping hope alive. I am praying for all those who are still in the process that your cards would come through by God's grace...Amen.

Our interview was simple and straightforward. Most of the questions were directed towards my wife (petitioner). Questions asked were what we filled in the I-130 and I-485. The agent made a couple of updates as we had changed addresses and jobs. Agent requested for supporting documents and we provided our wedding albums, lease agreement and joint account statements. (In my opinion, I believe most of the cases have been pre-judged before the interview).

I am so happy that the wait is finally over. Goodluck to everyone waiting out there. Your time would surely come.

Do have a great year ahead.
