Hello all,
After a long and arduous process, my GC has finally been approved
However, I am a little confused and was hoping someone can clear up my question.
On March 6 I got an email from the USCIS that my card production had been ordered
Then today I get an email that they have mailed me a notice that they have approved my I181.
Does this mean I can hope to have my green card in a few days? Does the notice they mailed out contain my GC or is it the welcome packet? Is the welcome packet and actual GC two separate things?
I have posted both emails I received below, should you need more info. Thanks
