Got my green card, thanks all for sharing!
Hello, first of all, thank you all for sharing your experiences. There are so many experiences out here that we can clearly see that NO case is equal to any other one. So, if you're having issues with your case, just stay firm and still, and believe that it will be solved soon. USCIS seems to be doing a pretty good job keeping up with the backlog, so I hope all of you get your reply soon.

Thanks for everybody who shared their experience. It helped me a lot going through the 200+ days that I needed to wait for my actual green card to get to my hands.

Below is my experience, that I partially posted on the Employment Authorization experience forum, when I got my combo card, and now that I got my green card, here's the full timeline.

I tried to add most of the updates I got from the online website, because just like many of you, I got very confusing updates from USCIS website.

Since I'm employed based, there are no restrictions on my card, so I guess next step will be naturalization :D
