I knew my 485 was approved last weekend when I checked status online. I was more excited than I had expected.

 

GC was never a priority for me, since I always wanted to go back to China. GC application really didn't play any role in my career or life decisions in the past 5 years. I guess I was quite lucky since it just come almost effortless for me. I am happy with it because it gives me and my wife more freedom and security to move around. Especially at a time when my company's future is quite uncertain and my wife and I are still living apart.

 

However, my wife's case is still in progress. Hope it didn't get a name check. But anyway, I got mine, and she has EAD that can help her find a new job. That's enough for us.

 

Worth a celebration! :)
