APPROVED Glory to God
After 20 years on this journey, today I finally received on-the-spot approvals for both my I-485 and I-130 petitions! All glory to God, and to my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ! Here’s how it all went down: I arrived at the USCIS field office in Tampa at 10:15 AM. Around 11:30 AM, my wife, my attorney, and I were called in. As expected, we began by raising our right hands and taking the oath. Once we sat down, the officer smiled and said, “I’m going to make this quick. You’re pretty much set, and I DEFINITELY don’t need any more evidence.” The only two questions I was asked were: • Where did you meet? • When did you buy your house? That was it! The interview was smooth, lighthearted, and even filled with laughter and jokes. But what makes this moment even more remarkable is how complicated my case has been. Over ten years ago, I was mistakenly issued a green card I should’ve never had. I only discovered the error four years ago at my Naturalization interview, when I was told that my green card had been invalid all along. Still, because it had never been rescinded, I technically maintained status. Today, that long and uncertain chapter is finally closed. God has delivered me from what felt like a never-ending nightmare. At the end of the interview, I handed the officer a letter I had drafted, making the case to get credit for the five years I’ve been married to my wife so I could apply for citizenship sooner. After a discussion with my attorney, the officer concluded that I can apply for citizenship as soon as I receive my green card. Let me just say this: God NEVER fails. What He starts, He finishes. And won’t He do it again! All glory belongs to Him. Only God could have done this.
