My interview (EB-3 ROW) went well. The actual interview lasted perhaps 5 minutes and was very routine. The next day, I successfully entered the US as a permanent resident!
After several years of waiting, I can finally say that I got my greencard. However, absolutely nothing will have changed. Nobody will put on a parade in your honor and there will be no marching band to greet you at the border as a new immigrant.
I have to admit, in hindsight, that it really wasn't the big deal that I thought it would be. Don't get me wrong--I'm very glad that it's over. But in the same token, the things that truly matter in life will continue to matter. Immigration, while bringing some certainty to the future, is definitely not the 'be all/end all' of life.
Enjoy your life... spend time with your family... celebrate the holidays however you choose. Be thankful. Worship if you believe. Love those around you. Be kind to others.
You know... the basics. All the stuff that your mom taught you. She really was right.
Everything will fall into place when the timing is right.
Farewell to everybody. It's been a pleasure to have been on this board for the past 4+ years. I truly wish you all the best in life, and in your pursuits wherever they may take you.
