PD2: 12/9/1999. RIR. EB2.
Labor approved: 8/00
I-140 approved: 4/01
RD: 5/7/01
ND: 8/10/01

My Card mailed: 2/23/04 (postmarked 2/21, received 2/23)

Many thanks to the people here in this forum, which I think is one of the most supportive I have seen.

Its good to know you recieved the cards today. Did your family members also get the cards?

Gives me hope that our online message changes to "card ordered" in a few days time so that we may recieve the cards too.

Spouse's status changed to "card ordered" the same day but not to "card mailed" yet. Should be in a few days.

The card is not green, that everybody should know now :D
But it is not pink as I have read in many places. It is light yellow on the front and metallic brown on the back.
:cool:
 
What a great day!

Congratulations! You are really free now and end of the tough GC road, enjoy your time...
 
The final nail ...

.. has been hammered.
