Finally Approved !!!!!!!
Hi Everyone,
It seems like my case has finally been approved today, at least according to the INS Online Case Status Service and the AVM system., My wifes case is still pending.
It has been a long and frustrating process, but thank God it has finally come to a positive conclusion.
Hang in there everyone, all your cases will eventually be approved.
I have really appreciated all the support I have gotten on this site and am grateful to its maintainers. Just so you know I have not told a single soul about the approval yet as I type this message, not even my wife. (Im taking the rest of the day off and plan to suprise her ;-) )
Good luck to everyone and thank you very much.

Contacted senator: 07/08/2002.
FP 2: 07/20/2002 at Portland, OR - I think the FP notice came because I contacted my senator. and who knows this may have kick started the process, which was stuck since the connection to I-140 had not been made.
RFE: 08/20/2002 for Employment Verification, one vaccination for wife, form G -25 first page was missing, since previous attorney probably goofed up, latest I-94 copies.
