Congratulations!

And it is freaking INSANE that it took that long. Nothing that is essentially just paperwork should take that long.

I really don’t think most Americans understand the amount of time, resources and energy it takes to become a citizen. Congrats to you and your family OP!

Congratulations! However as an American, this is ridiculous how much time and money his takes. There is NO. REASON. FOR. IT.
