Folks,
I Finally got approved yesterday(RIR-EB2-IND-NJ). It has been a long journey. As it is customary in this forum to share ones experiences, so here goes my story.
Submitted the documents to the attorney for labor in June-1999. Waited for about a year and called the attorney in May-2000, Only to find that he has lost my documents and never filed the case.
May-2000 Changed attorney (Now, time is set to T=0)
Ads and all the other stuff
Submitted for LC in Nov-2000 (after waiting 6 months to file as EB2 and RIR)
LC got approved in May-2001.
Applied for I-140 in June-2001.
I-140 got approved in Oct-2001
Applied for AOS in Nov-2001
I-485 got rejected in Dec-2001 (Attorney used the wrong ver. of forms)
Changed attorney (again )
Applied for AOS in Jan-2002
FP done in May-2002
Approved on 23-July-2003 :0
Good luck to all those who are waiting. (Sounds so clichéd, but from the bottom of my heart)
Some more rhetoric,
I want to thank Rajiv Khanna (this is an awesome site and helped me move forward in the face of those two rejections/economic downturn/lay offs/sep-11/BCIS/485-Freeze and everything else that is immigrant's nightmare) and Greaty-K (for his selfless effort in maintaining www.rupnet.com) and
my employer who was very supportive during the entire process (sometimes, even I give credit where it is due).
Cheers
