Well on Saturday I got the double welcome letters, welcoming me to the US and informing me that my green card would be mailed within the next 3 weeks. Today the green card arrived. So I am all set now to travel back to Ireland in a couple of months.
Thanks to everyone for their help and understanding.

Thanks for all the congrats, , my wife says she wants one of those green cards also, she reckons it looks really cool LOL.
This has been such a whirlwond experience I am not sure when I will finally get it all to sink in.
Thanks again

It *does* look really cool, at least to my eyes. The microprinting and the amazing security features really make it the most advanced piece of ID I've ever seen our government produce. My California driver's license looks like a party favor by comparison.

I think they are produced by the same company (or at least with the same technology) as the Permanent Resident cards for Canada -- my wife now has both Canadian and US PR cards and they are very similar.

Congratulations to another successful San Francisco AOSer!

Thanks again for all the best wishes.
I am gonna ask a question though. Even though by law I am supposed to carry the card, who would need to see it? A friend of my wife has been a PR for about 20 years, she says she only carries it when she travels outside the US?
