He has a green card, and according to a previous poster green card holders are lumped in with international applicants. bummer for us. was really hoping some more domestic calls would go out today.

It sounded like the adcom just realized that I live in Chicago. if you are a GC living in the US, there is some hope. I practically gave up until I got the call this morning.
good luck everyone!

The lull after the storm...and it seems like I drowned in the storm. No positive news in the last 3 hours leads me to believe that its all over for Indian applicants. Congrats to those who made it. Best of luck to those who didn't.

Not yet, dude! You could still be wait-listed (if they have done with the calls). And Ross does take kids off the WL. (I am on WL, and just hoping for the better)
