Glad you have finally reached the end of the road. Now you just have to hope USPS doesn't lose the cards in the mail.

My husband's card went astray...took months for the replacement to arrive. I remember thinking was a stupid idea is was to send the GCs out in a small white envelope marked USCIS. It was obvious what was in the envelope.

Glad to hear yours news Nicky.

Do you know the exact same thing happened with my OH. Myself and my son's GC arrived fine but hubbies went to the same place all the odd socks go.

Congratulations.

Two things to bear in mind going forward, 1. You daughter likely will need a new green card when she turns 14, and 2. If you want her to be a citizen automatically, you need to complete naturalization before she turns 18. Timing may be a challenge if she is aged 12, since it's a 5 year waiting time to apply (less 90 days). Some discussion on both issues at:

Nicky's daughter could naturalize anyway after age 18.

Lucky that mail is left outside in an unsecure box on a stick with a flag on it really.
