I definitely want to share my joy in telling you fellows
that my I485 is finally approved yesterday. The wait
for greencard and passage of time made me a Senior Member
of this board, though I never wanted to become a Senior
It took me almost 3+ years for the whole process. I
thought not to care too much about I485 and I didn't initially,
but certainly I do when St. Lious tells me that I need to go
back to home country for renewal H1 stamping and consulate
in Pakistan may take 4 months for VISA processing, because I
belong to one of those 21 countries that attracts the VISA
officer. The wait time for I485 seemed even longer when I
had to pass through 8 round
of layoff chopping 70% of workforce throughout the company.
(I work for one of those major Telco which made records
in layoff in last 2 yrs). Finally it ends !!! What a relief !
Here are my details:

Attorney called supervisor after one week of interview and
requested to approved ASAP as officer took my I94 and EAD
after interview.
Attorney took my Paspsort and she went to BCIS and got my I551 stamped today. In the meantime, I also got my letter from BCIS San Jose that my application for Adjudicate to permanent resident has been accepted.
Its time for me to take a vacation , a long one
There is one more thing here though. I collected my passport
from Attorney and I noticed that last letter in my name is
spelled 'N' instead of 'M'. My name and A# is written by hand.
Attorney said , it doesn't matter much because officer at POE
will check the A#. I am planning to make a visit to local office
to correct the last letter. Any though ?
