Hello guys:
I am a GC holder from India planning to get married. Is it possible for my future wife to visit me on a tourist visa once in a while if I don't apply for a GC for her? I reckon that once I get citizenship I can get a GC for her rather quickly, and so I am not planning to file now...

Thanks July16. I am free at last after waiting for 6 long years.
I hope your approval comes soon. I wish you all the best.

Please update the Plastic Card Tracker when you get the card.
This text file was part of the original thread in the old site. I just pulled it out of there and posting here so that everyone can continue updating the list here.
Finally I heard the good news on the AVM that my plastic card has been ordered on July 5th.
How long does it take from order date to receiving the card by mail? Anybody know?
I will also update the plastic card tracker.
