Hmmmm.. where do i start from? I am still shaking with joy, it feels like a heavy mountain has left my chest. Today happens to be one of the happiest days of my life.
I am sure some people remember my story. If not you cn read my previous experiences.
I had my interview on the 2nd of May, it was less than a 10 minutes interview, At first I was happy because it was brief, we had little or no evidence so i was glad she did not ask many questions.
It was not until that morning i was able to make my husband memorize my name and date of birth, cos he does not give a **** about me. How he corp-orated at the interview was only by Gods grace, because up until we entered the office i was so sure he would screw me over,
Anyway the white lady asked where we met,why we got married and when. The last question she asked was if we had any documents to show we were married. Gave her very scanty utility bills,phonebills and empty joint bank statement.
She then gave us a paper and told us that, she would review the case an get back to us. At first i was happy that at least the very short and informal interview was a good sign, Only for my friend that went for her interview two days after mine to call me and say they told them the same thing after scrutinizing them for over an hour, only for them to get home and receive notification that case has been approved, i celebrated with her then went to remind God, it got to a point i started lamenting that maybe if my interview was longer I would have gotten approval.
To cut the long story short, I got over the fear and decided within me not to let USCIS control my life and mood again, I dusted my EAD and started job hunting, the whole job hunting took my mind away from the green card, I even stopped visiting this forum for sometime so i do not remember my predicament.
To God be the glory, i was sitting in my orientation class for my new job, was playing with my phone and i opened up the yahoo mail app when my eye caught like 5 emails from USCIS, my heart stopped , quickly opened it, guess what, my eyes blurred out still don't know what that was about , I could not see a thing. So i rushed to my case app logged in, lo and behold the very words i have waited so long for to see. CARD in production, it took a lot for me not to scream in that class, so i rushed out of the class, I was trembling crying at the same time, infact at a point i was thinking of calling 911 cos my chest was behaving funny, but i just knelt down in the hallway not minding the cameras around, gave God all the glory , called my mum and dad, lol they almost lost their minds.
Let me end here, I thank God who won this for me, cos i have really suffered been humiliated in many ways, I thank this family here cos you all posts helped me a lot, I thank my fellow forum member Pretty, who was always praying for me and checking on me, the night before my interview she sent me some psalms, this is a lady i have never met. God bless you.
I say to everybody waiting, just believe God your turn would come, it might look very far but believe in the most high who knew you even before you were formed,
SO good people, The journey has come to an end for me, You know what is funny all of a sudden i cannot even remember all i have been through.
