Hi everyone,
Our case has been approved at 3 weeks short of 8 years.
It was a very straightforward employment based case with a lot of unexplainable bad luck.
I just want to remind eveyone to be fully prepaid for a regular infopass.
After our pd. became current we took an infopass and the officer told us only finger prints had expired, but otherwise the case was ok.
After 3rd. finger print we took another infopass (november 20,2006), but since the officer had changed the new officer wanted to go though entire case again.
We were interviewed second time on the spot (about 3 hours) to our great surprise. The officer asked for updated doc.'s since our first interview was done about 17 mounths ago.( current letter of employment,W2,tax returns etc.)
We hand delivered doc.'s on december 1st.2006 and the case was approved and passports were stamped shortly.
Moral of the story: we are one of the few who had really experienced how haphazardly and unsystematically the immigration works. We have been an examplary case (our attorney is seriously planning a white paper based on ours). 8 years might be OK with denials, refiling, courts and decision etc... we had none of those.
Luck matters.
Best wishes and, GOOD LUCK for all.
