Yesterday I applied to get my Green Card renewed and just got this update:
Your next milestone: receive your biometrics appointment notice.
Time until next milestone: approx. 4 months
Time until decision: approx. 7 months
I'm thinking about some poor overworked gov employee sitting at their desk for four months exhaustively checking and rechecking all 23 answers on my application. Then another one spending 3 months making sure my fingerprints and photograph came out right. If I could get their names I would send both of them a box of doughnuts. Although maybe they could take that out of the $540 fee.
I hadn't seen any humming birds this year, then yesterday I saw several of them checking out the empty feeders by the kitchen windows. Made up some sugar water and cleaned and filled up the feeders this morning. They are both leaking so I ordered a couple more from Amazon.
