I-140 and I-485 concurrent approval
I just saw online on my case status that both my I-140 and I-485 have been approved concurrently! What a relief after this long 3-year process and waiting for more than 13 months for my I-140.
As I mentioned before, I had initiated a case status inquiry for my I-485 about 4 weeks ago and my lawyer also initiated an inquiry for the I-140 2 weeks ago. I don't know if that helped or if USCIS finally noticed my petition.
In any case, I certainly think it is good to pro-actively pursue/push USCIS in any way possible for those of us waiting beyond the standard time line... atleast there is some probability that they will do something about it!
Thanks UN, Jharkhandi and everyone in this great forum!
Good luck everyone ...

efiled AP and EAD Approval Info
Efiled: (me and spouse)
EAD: e-Filed May 19th, Sent Documentation on May 25th, gave Biometrics on 2nd June (scheduled date was 9th) , Approved on June 24rd.
AP: e-Filed May 19th, Sent Documentation on May 25th (with photos), Approved on June 28th
The process was easy and also irritating.
First, separate photos for AP. Second, they say wait for Biometrics Notice, but later got email saying that get your own appointment by calling. And I got email for only for 1 application (spouse). If you can't get appointment easily, then the whole process gets delayed. In my case I was bit lucky.

I-485 Approved
Guyz,
Thank you very much for all your support.
I got 485 approved after long haul of ups and downs during the entire process.
Everyone's information was so important to me to keep my self up all the time.
I have taken too many risks but just with the confidence of information available on this forum.
You guyz are simply great for sharing and helping each other.
I wish everyone gets a day soon.
Please update my id in excel as star2004

485 gor approved !!!
We got an email today that mine and my husbands 485 got approved.
It was a long journey for us.
I am explaining our case, hoping that it may help someone..
My husband's 485 was filed in June 2002 in VSC. After 4 months of filing he lost his job, but immidiately found a job in a different state, so started working on EAD. I was working in NJ on my H1.
We hirred my husband's previous company lawyer to continue to represent us.
We did not inform INS about the job change. Also since we maintained the primary address (in NJ) we did not file AR-11.
We had done finger printing twice.
Menawhile, my husband was filing for EAD/AP on his own (to avoid paying lawyer).
Meanwhile, I kept asking my company to start my GC as we were not sure what will happen to my husband's case.
Luckily, they found an approved labor matching my skills, and applied for my 140 and 485 in March 2004. My company lawyer suggested to apply for my hausband's I485 also thru me. He said he won't be out-of-status in case his case gets rejected. He also said that at one point INS may ask u to pick one case.. so we were tensed.
End of 2004, my husband moved back to NJ and we also change house, so we applied AR-11 for new address.
I didnot get finger print notice for my case, which made us more tensed.
Though my 140 ND date was March 2004, it never got touched.
We were sure that our case will get transferred to local INS office..because we read in many forums that INS gets confused when they see two simultaneous 485 filed for an applicant.
We did so many status enquiries (Infact once operator said that we have exceeded the maximum number of queries allowed on a case), contacted senator..but no help.
Then we heard news of retrogession...my husband's case was in EB3 category.
My husband sent two expedite request...wrote to Mr. Novak.. and also my husband's attorney send expedite request to Vermont stating that they are handling my husband's case unfairly..It is pending snce 3 yrs and they should act on it ASAP ..they should treat this as a spl case and should approve it before June 30th so that we again don't get stuck because of retrogession..
Then on June 27th we got e-mail that my 1-140 got approved...we waited till yesterday..hoping that they will approve my husband's case ...but did not get any e-mail/no LUD's ...so we thought now we have to wait....
And then today around noon, got e-mail that my husbnad's 485 got approved on 29th in which he was the primary applicant...and after few minutes got e-mail that my 485 was approved on 29th in which I was primary applicant thru my comapny...so we just missed the retrogession date.....
So, if anyone of u have two simultantous cases going on...don't get panic....VSC officers are logical and they handled our cases logically...
I am sure we will be spending most of the time this weekend to go to different temple's and thanking GOD !!
Good luck to every one...

Wow JMD - that is perhaps the best photo finish approval I have read so far! Real thriller! Congratulations to both of you. By the way - when you get some time - please explain - any correlation between - two applications, two approvals and visiting different temples? I hope you are going together.

Ask your husband to buy a lottery ticket, he will get a mega prize. BCaz as per last posts your husband case is last EB3 approved case in June (last month for EB3s for this fiscal year).
