Russia->NJ->VSC->Newark->CIA->GC.

It\'s over. Finally got my GC approval.
Arrived in the USA 3 years ago. Started GC process on August 1999.
Regular LC. Same employer all time.
RD 11/20/2000 ND 12/09/2000. Transferred to Newark, NJ local office on
10/12/2001. GC interview on 12/28/2001. Instead of Happy New Year gifts
and GC after interview, got CIA check. And finally received GC approvals
for me and my family yesterday. No joy, only feel tired. But after all,
look at me after GC process:
1.I am not a terrorist or KGB agent (CIA checks and certified that)
2.I am not a domestic criminal (FBI check and certified that)
3.I never broke immigration rules (INS can confirm that)
4.I never shout on my wife and child anymore (my walls are very thin)
5.I don\'t drink and smoke (you understand why)
6.I don\'t play basketball after 8 PM anymore (once I did that, I was
caught and fined, and now I must mention that in all my immigration
papers, and I must mentioned that forever. I\'ll better watch TV)
7.I am not replacing an American workers (DOL certified that)
8.I don\'t need salary increase (because my position and salary must be
the same, like in LC)
But I cannot accept lower salary either (this is a big INS mistake, they
should change this rule, it\'s distort my godly image)
9.I love my employer (you understand why)
10.I don\'t need any promotions (see #8)
11.I became an immigration guru. I know better what to do if my
application got rejected, then what to do if server goes down.
12.When I am sending e-mail to technical support asking for additional
paper for my printer, I always call my attorney and ask him "Will it
harm or delay my application?" He usually answered: \'Yes, it will"
13. I love to stay late at work (see #9)
14. I don\'t have TB, AIDS or VD (INS approved doctor can confirm that)
15. I am paying all possible and impossible taxes. I am thinking about
paying sales tax, when I am buying 50 cents book at the garage sale.
16.I hate weekends and holidays, because VSC is closed during those
days.
You can add you own merits here ...
And after all, they give me only GC. I have a feeling, that I deserve at
least a Nobel prize or nimbus above my head and wings on my back.
And the main thing - it\'s all over!!!!!!!!!!!!!........ Or not????
