No, not a baby. After years of frustation and hair pulling my husband finally received his green card today. I won''t go into our 8.5 year green card saga, but I will give you this bit of advice that I wish we received a couple of years ago: If you are having any sort of issues with getting your green card, call your congressman and ask for their help.

After years of getting no help at all from INS/USCIS and after getting some spectactularly unhelpful advice from an immigration lawyer (file for citizenship!) a friend of my husband''s suggested talking to our congressman because helping their constituants deal with federal agencies is part of their job (which I kind of knew in a vague way but what that meant never really penetrated). Anyhow, less than a month after speaking with the very helpful Maggie at Sen Markey''s office, my husband now has his green card.
 
Awesome!
 
Congratulations!!!
 
Congrats! I wish I could say that contacting our congressman helped in our situation (visa issue)...but it didn't.

Not one bit. I'm glad your congressperson was more helpful!
 
Congratulations!!!

Congratulations!
It''s crazy the hoops you have to jump through sometimes to get people (& agencies) to do their jobs! I''ve actually had to go through a local congressman''s office twice now to get things handled (professional license, passport). What a mess, so I feel your frustrations.
 
Kismet, I''m so happy to hear about the little green bundle of joy that arrived for you and your happy hubby today!
 
Congratulations!

Congratulations to you! Thanks for the good advice, too; I have at least two friends who are locked in a neverending battle with the INS over citizenship. I''ll pass on this useful information.
 
How great! My brother in law had a lot of trouble getting his years ago. He was married with a few kids and was still having problems. It all worked out after years of frustration. I''m glad your situation ended well today too! Definately celebrate!!
 
Congratulations!
I hope I''m not in for that long a wait.
