Thanks be to God.
I don't know why He had me in His waiting room so long, but this is His wisdom not mine. But one thing is that USCIS change in policy of not doing as many RFE's just recently could be as my case had a number of potential flags that could have been raised. All I can say is God is Great and I'm thankful.
What a relief after this long journey, finally I can have the same joy all the others who are approved have.
I found a funny and naive post i did back in May 2002, where I was extrapolating the processing rate then and assumed I would be approved by July 2002 - was I ever wrong!

Thanks to the many people on this board, the helpful ones CIBA PCEE, the funny ones Sillyman, the diligent Kashmir and those who aren't so high profile but just as important and helpful and kept this board a lifeline to all of us.
For those long waiters like me, I feel your pain and I wish for you a speedy approval with no hassles and may God shine his face and blessings on you too.
