Today, I received my welcome notice to the United State of America. I'm officially official.
I am pretty sure that I get to drop my "alien" title now, and replace it with "immigrant". It's funny how these words take on a whole new meaning when you are refered to as one of them.
I was also notified that I will need to start paying income tax, does this mean the IRS owes me 7 years of taxes back? It was worth a try.
This has been a long road for me, a lot of money and 5 years of my life.
I love Canada, my home country and part of me in every way. I also love this country which has blessed me with many great things. I wish everyone was so lucky, to be a child of these two great nations.

Congrats!
Yeah - there's nothing like having to apply for "Advance Parole" to leave the country whilst waiting for one's immigrant status to come through. Any plans to naturalize? That's another trip-and-a-half.
