You are one of those rare and fortunate persons, Mr. Michael Bruck,
for having such a smooth sailing with INS.
Most immigrants, especially those that the Canadians refer to
as "visible and identifiable" ones, go through most gruelling,
traumatic and insulting experiences in their process of becoming
permanent residents in US. And it takes much longer than a year.
