Got my green card! Oakland Park FL Field Office
Hey everyone!
I thought I would share my experiences and since I have my green card in hand, it only seems appropriate since this forum was SO HELPFUL for me.
My case is for F1 – Unmarried Sons and Daughters of U.S. Citizens (21 and over). Hopefully this benefits anyone in my situation. Field Office – Oakland Park FL.
