I got my early Christmas gift in the mailbox. My greencard application has been approved!! Wootwoot. Waiting for my dependents to get theirs soon. I was so anxious getting the mail when I saw it was from USCIS.

That’s amazing, congrats.

I have been in the process since 2020 and sometimes it feels a little hopeless because there is no end in sight. My case is complicated and an entirely different process but it is challenging as it affects my kids and it feels like I am living in limbo.

My daughter is a brilliant senior and she plans to study engineering, but I’m not sure if this will be able to happen financially as she needs her green card to be able to access in state tuition and scholarships.

Fingers crossed it will be approved by March 2023.

I agree it has affected our whole family, our plans got withheld and even though of having back up plans if it will not workout. I even got depressed at some point last year because of some paperwork issues. But all is well. I pray you will get yours soon.
