GC approval!
PD: Jan 25, 2023 (current since Jun 2025)
ROW; Transferred to the Dallas FO from NBC (Jun 25, 2025 confirmed by an Emma agent); No RFE / No interview
After a long journey, my GC is finally approved. I have always TRIED to believe the outcome is in God’s hands. However, my life circumstances have become complicated, and I had to decide soon whether to keep waiting for the GC or stop. I prayed for God’s guidance, asking for peace regardless of the outcome, but He didn’t seem to give me any clear answer. I was getting exhausted.
I began to pray that if I didn’t get my GC by the 2nd week of Aug, I would take it as a sign that God didn’t want me to have it, since my situation was clearly pushing me to stop around that time.
One day, my wife asked me to buy a cake to celebrate “our GCs,” saying she felt it was coming. I chuckled but went along because my beloved wanted it.
Exactly one week later, on the very last day of the 2nd wk of Aug—my personal “deadline” in prayer—we got a notice of “New card is being produced.” Praise the Lord!
I hope my experience may encourage someone here. No matter what, God is in control, and He always wants the best for His children. Let’s trust Him even when things don’t seem to be going our way. God bless you all!

@Raj S Thank you so much for your heartfelt blessings. Honestly, my faith has had its ups and downs, but maybe that’s exactly why we need each other: to be the lips of our Father, speaking His truth and encouragement when we have no strength to stand, so we can rise again. May God pour out His abundant grace and blessings on you and your loved ones!

@In Jesus name. Amen! ““The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit.”(Ps 34:18 ESV) - I’m praying for you right now. Life’s challenges come and go, but God’s mercy and love will always be with us. Thank you, and God bless you, my brother/sister in Christ.
