@jon-nyc that is awesome, how long of a process is it? I always presume it's between 1 and 25 years. Also, is it actually green?

[Horace]

Glad to hear it.

[jodi]

Congratulations! What a relief that must be!

My step parents are going to have their consulate interview in Guangzhou in March. It's been a 2 year process.

[jon-nyc]

Is that for a tourist visa or for some sort of residency thing?

Mayla’s parents were denied a tourist visa last year. They might have better luck now that she has a green card. They would have no intention of living here, just visiting.

[Horace]

Green cards. It remains to be seen whether they really want to live here, but we are giving the situation a chance. My wife is extraordinarily devoted to her parents, and they to her. But to ask them to live here is big.

Ours was almost exactly one year which is amazingly short. The system itself was estimating 34 months and that number never really went down form month to month.

I’m not sure why, perhaps many people abandoned weak asylum claims and/or self deported shortening the line.

I was afraid it would go the other way, with lots of people applying for green cards at the end of the Biden years who had been putting it off for one reason or another.

You should’ve asked a favor when visiting the halls of Rayburn!
