My friends, I am overwhelmed. Truly. To say that I'm thrilled, elated, overjoyed, relieved etc would be understatements. Yes.... 485s for myself and spouse were approved today!! What a journey it's been. The theme parks have not even come close to designing roller coasters like our GC journeys, but this feeling after getting off the ride is amazing. It's like a new calm has descended upon my mind and I'm able to gaze gaze peacefully into the oceans :) Clearly, I'm getting carried away, but what I can I do.. that's how I feel. My wishes and prayers for success to each of my cohorts on this forum.

Today's status update said "case has been approved and approval notice has been mailed......etc". Guess they'll order a card for us as the next step and I would not need additional biometrics since my calculations say that my FPs remain valid till mid July. Like many of you I was stuck in what seemed to be a never-ending name check abyss. I'd been in constant communicatin with my Senator office and boy let me tell you - they're amongst the most responsive folks I've seen. They followed up with USCIS and FBI number of times and one fine Wednesday in February even left me a voicemail saying that my FBI nightmare is over. So all's well that ends well.

So here's my story..

PD : March 15, 2001 EB3 India
140/485/EAD/AP; ND: 5/20/2004
140 AD: 12/7/2004
FBI name check cleared - 2/13/2006
485 approved: 6/9/06

Best wishes to everyone...

Sometimes this is like a Govt Office, people are retiring by way of getting green cards :) Hope we can also retire from this end less wait
 
Congrats

Congrats!!!!
Now you can "plan" your life.
Hopefully many more like you will also get their GCs fast.

Regards
GCSTrat :)
 
So effectively it takes only 5 years to get the GC for EB3 not bad at all.

So why are we worried? I thought it takes for ever.

This gives me encouragement


Congrats man...Good Luck
 
Not for everyone

For some folks it has been longer than 5 years.
The time frame is variable.
There are lot of obstacles in the way: labor cert, FBI name check, etc.
So, one has to be concerned and hope for a more smooth and consistent process.
