How green is my card?

desperanceThis is the first of two posts; the second will have the same subject line, only without the question mark. We expect that one in three to six weeks.
But meantime, Karen and I have had our immigration interview, and neither one of us has been thrown out of the country, and my application for a green card is only subject to further review because they need to check that I'm not wanted by the police on seven continents. As I don't believe any policeman has ever wanted me for anything, I am not much concerned by this. Not much. But I am apparently being very reserved, by
American standards. My own nation would probably be proud of me. I don't actually expect to whoop and holler even when the card itself actually does come. Quiet satisfaction, that's the British way. On to the next thing to stress about. I've got plenty.
