Thank you! Sorry for the late reply but I haven't been able to load the page for a couple days. It will be in Hartford.

Wow..that's a much better timeline. For some reason they wouldn't give me the decision on the day of my interview. I must have looked shady!

It's looking like a total time of 11 months from start to finish. I was anticipating 3 or 4.

I believe it was mailed as it was handled by my lawyer.

No problem -- if Rete's footing champers and cake, I'm going to party crash!

Congrats, Rockgurl. The day soon approaches when you'll be able to hand in your green card(s) and never have to deal with USCIS ever again. Rock on.
