Thanks to my wife being so awesomely talented and to her phenomenal portfolio, we've just been approved for the green card, at our very first try.
As a matter of fact, we hadn't even sent a third of that portfolio, as our lawyer advised us that it was to be expected to have to go through round 2 and provide more documentation. But this proved to be unnecessary. :)
Which means I should be able to start looking for gigs and work legally pretty soon. :)
