Guys

I just heard the great news that my wife\'s/my I485 has been approved today (Feb 27th 2002). We waited so long and it was worth the wait.

I hope all the guys having ND around mine will soon get the Approval. This site/board has been so helpful to me. Thanks a lot.

My case Details:

I140 approved for CP and sent to Madras on Aug 28th 2000
RD - Sep 5th 2000

or did your form just mention that NVC will send stuff to the Consulate?

[arn123]

It looks like NSC asked for the I140 in 2nd week of Jan 2002 and Madras sent back the I140 on Jan 18th 2002.

Its a good news for us unlucky waiters.

I-140 sent to chennai on July 2000.
RD:- Aug 2000
ND:- Sep 2000
FP:- Feb 2001

it was assigne to an officer but when I spoke to an IIO last thursday (feb 21st 2002) he said it i in "In Transit" state and will be assigned to an officer soon. Was expecting it sometime this week. Thought of calling today to find the status but heard the message yesterday night.

Do you know if NSC directly asked Madras consulate or thru NVC?
My case is also in Madras since July 2000.
Once before NVC told me that NSC does not know if the case
is with NVC or Consulate. First NSC asks NVC to send 140.
NVC usually reply saying I140 was sent to Consulate and
Consulate address it was sent to. Because NSC does not know
which Consulate the case was sent to. NSC finally sends another
request to the correct Consulate.

Thx.

but I applied for I485 (AOS) here. I didn\'t file I824(BTW what I824, is it transfer ur case from cP to AOS)?.

[arn123]

Because NVC told they didn\'t get any request from INS regd my case. SHe also mentioned that once INS start processing the AOS here, it can ask for the info directly because they know where it is.

that resultedin the approval. Because the person who was incharge never returned my call or told me about my status. I spoke to her only once before sending the letter.

[arn123]

This is a big relief both for me and my family. Just hang in there and you will soon hear the nes that you are approved. I will post the stamping experience when I go for it after getting the Approval Notice.

switched employer after 8 months but stayed with the same employer during the Green card process.

Did you guys call IIO and did anybody mentioned about the "In Transit" state to any of you guys?.

Guys

We(wife & me) got our Passport\'s stamped this morning at the Chicago INS office. Everything went very well. THere was no delay. Just took 30 mins for the whole process plus 45 minutes of wait outside the office, but thats ok compared to a 4 year wait and especially because of the I140 approved for CP(not knowing what is gonna happen).

I just wanted to Thank you all in this forum for their great job and I hope you all will get your approval soon.

Thanks
ARN123.
