It all started 15 months ago, when I received the winning lottery letter. My wife and were very excited, yet confused about the future steps. After a couple of minutes of Googling I came across this forum and started my journey by this post. Thanks to all the wonderful people who patiently shared their valuable experiences, tonight we have our GC's in hand. We had a relatively high case number but fortunately the Asian numbers got processed much faster in 2008. I just want to thank you all for being there for each other and tell 2009 winners to be strong, keep their faith and never give up.
