Applying for a green card hard, but a possibility now

I've been living and working in China nearly 10 years and my wife and I have been married nearly nine ears. My wife and I applied for the green cards this past August. There were a lot of local documents that needed to be copied and notarized: tax statements, employment records, bank records, certificates of deposit, house and mortgage records and health records. All in all it took almost four months from the time we started the application to get it through the local level. Hopefully soon, it will be forwarded to Beijing for the decision to accept us or not. Yes, I would definitely like to have the green card.
