hehehe..Wouldn't it be funny if Scott and I got his GC before you two?? Hmmm..wonder how long it will take for him to get his. He got his "Welcome letter" 3 days after our interview. Doesn't that meant that the card follows fairly shortly after that?

Put me in at 45 days. I have no faith in USCIS to take their fingers out of their bums and do some efficient work, so if it gets there any quicker I'll be very surprised. But good luck!!

1. Official "start counting date" is January 7th, which counts as "Day One"
2. We are *not* differentiating between "work days" and "non work days". All days count in the count.
3. The winner apparently gets some sort of camping trip in Ray's backwoods which may or may not involve relieving oneself on his vegetation, or coming in contact with snakey-type things.

4. SecretGarden and Mr. Pink determine the winner based on nearness to day count and other factors at our discretion.
So, if these parameters would change your original answer, now is the time to post your modifications.

Well if you already got the letter, then there is no status update on the system because he is a CPR and the automated system has deleted them from their databanks ;-)

Ray,
I actually got bit by a cottonmouth when I lived in the Sunshine State. Luckily it was a "dry bite" but man, it sure left a pretty black and blue mark where it nailed my calf. I stepped on it at night when I was walking through some palmetto.

Sounds like the right year. Still married to the first Mr. Rete back then and we went to a public theater to see it.
