Hooray!!! I am a permanent resident!
I am sooo happy.
After waiting for exactly one year, five months and 23 days I finally got the very expected appointment at the consulate in Ciudad Juarez, Chih. Mexico for my I-130.
I want to thank very much everybody who has helped with their advises and opinions all through this time.
My experience in Juarez? Rather easy, but not pleasant.
I spent a whole day in the consulate, from 7am to 5pm but it all was worth it at the moment I heard the agent in window 16 say: Bienvenida a los Estados Unidos, ya es residente permanente, (Welcome to the United States, you are now a permanent resident)
Wow! that was all I needed to hear. I received my packet and walked out where my husband was waiting.
Crossing the border was easy, only about 40 minutes while they took my fingerprints and checked all the paperwork.
Now I am waiting on my green card and my SSN so I can get a drivers license and a job.
Oh I am soooooooo excited!
And again, thank you all so much!
