HaHa, no not traumatic. Once qualified with the requisite years with a green card, the Citizenship process is often relatively painless.

The GCs have to get renewed in 10 years. The choice to go for citizenship is available in 5 years. Less pressure= less pain IMO

Glad you finally have them in your hands. Now be careful don't lose them, do you know how hard they are to replace.

Thank you everyone, and thanks for the support over the last few years. It's been a long roller coaster ride, I'm so glad it's finally over. I think I would have gone insane without having BE to bitch to, your advice, thoughts and humor have really helped.

I'm going to chill out for 5 years now, I wonder what I will think about in all my idle moments now.

A Social Security Number, at least short term?
One thing that now needs to be done is to get a Social Security Number for you and your daughter (if you don't already have them). And your husband needs to update his status with the Social Security Administration and get an unrestricted Social Security card. Same goes for you and your daughter if you already have SSNs.
