Hello friends and wellwishers,
If you recall, both my and my wife\'s 485s were denied back in May of this year. Though INS\'s denial notice said that this case couldn\'t be appealed, my attorney filed a motion to reopen the case, explaining the situation to INS. She did an excellent job in representing my case. I also spoke to the Immigration Liason at my senator\'s office, who in turn did some follow up with INS. Finally, both our cases got approved.
Though we had to wait 5 gruelling years to get our green cards, we feel blessed to have it at this uncertain time.
We can\'t thank enough all of you who helped us during our hour of need. You gave us courage, optimism and hope. Times were really tough even back then, and your good wishes helped us during such trying and difficult times. Our message to all of you who are waiting is to keep the faith, optimism, and hope alive. You will all get it - it is just a matter of time.
May God bless us all and this great country!!
With regards and best wishes,

I485 denied: received denial notice from VSC just now
gchopeful1 - 01:14pm May 5, 2001 EST
Hi friends:
We finally received the denial notice from VSC. The letter says:
"On May XX, 1999, filed an I-140, Immigrant Petition for Alien Worker. On November XX, 2000, that petition was revoked."
Our details: PD 2/97, EB2 India, RD 09/22/99, ND 10/4/99
What is really bizzare is: I\'ve been with the same company since 1996, and even my corporate attorney was baffled why my I485 could be denied.
Now, when I call up the VSC number and enter the EAC# for my approved I140 petition, it says that this petition was revoked on November XX, 2000, and that a letter explaining the reason why that petition was revoked had been mailed. Obviously if this letter was mailed, my attorney should have received it and known about it, but obviously they don\'t. Unfortunately, we can\'t do anything until Monday till we talk to our attorney, but thought to share this information with all of you.
Let me know if you have any suggestions, thoughts, or words of wisdom.
Thanks a lot to everyone on this board who has helped us and given us hope, encouragement, and support during our hour of need.
I485 denial: have the details now

Hello friends:
After the most hellish weekend of my life, I talked with my attorney this morning. When I told them about the reason for the 485 denial, they said that they had received the letter from INS explaining the revoking of my I140 (I still can\'t figure out why they didn\'t mention it to me or do something about it until now)
I\'m breaking down the events in my case in a chronological order to make it easier to follow:
i) Person X\'s approved Labor Certification was used to file for my I140 at VSC on May XX, 1999
ii) The I140 was approved on August XX, 1999
iii) Using the approved I140, my I485 was filed at VSC on September XX, 1999
iv) My own labor certification got approved sometime in 2000
v) My approved labor certification was used to file person Y\'s I140 at VSC sometime in 2000
vi) On Nov. XX, 2000 INS sent a letter to my attorney saying:
"It has now come to the attention of this Service that you wish to substitute another individual on the labor certification. This Service acknowledges the receipt of your Form I-140 and Form 750, Part B, filed on behalf of the new alien. You will be informed of the decision on that petition by way of separate notice. Therefore, the approval of your petition is automatically revoked in accordance with 8 CFR 205, 1(a)(3)(iii)(C)
vii) On May XX, 2001 INS denied my I485
I also talked with a few other attorneys, they are saying that they can only help after looking at all my information. But when I mentioned the abov
