Finally I saw a status change for my case. Online status says Approved. Hope it doesn't turn back to what it was till Yesterday.
Here is information that I hope could help a lot of people.
I have been with the same company as a consultant. Between 2001-2003 I was unemployed for a total of more thant 15months. Sure enough I got RFE for W2s and Employment letter. My company which had supported me all through(well yeah.. slave companies support the slaves.. dont they?). I sent the RFE with W2s having 40% less salary than labor for those two years.
And my lawyer was a high profile white collar DUMB ASS. He never followed up with CIS nor was he inclined to. I waited a month after my RD in processing dates and took things in my hand. My status inquiry result said 30-60 days. Right after 60 days I faxed an expedite request which was denied. Right after it was denied, I contacted the Senator last week. My next step was to contact AILA liaison office in VSC and then go over it all over and over again until I get a result.
Based on my case here is what I think.
If you get FP2 after your RFE it pretty much means you are clear. If it gets delayed after that it means your case is sleeping somewhere and so is your IIO. I believe(I may be wrong) they dont send FP2 until everything is in order(name check, rfe results..BLAH BLAH BLAH..).. So if your RD has passed the processing times, do not hesitate to use any legal means possible to follow up. I really admired someone who send 3 requests to CIS. There is no other way we can make CIS realise what they are putting as through.
I may be rude, but those whose RD has not come into the processing dates, just be patient and don't complain. There are so many people before you waiting and one day you will find FIFO help you too.
My hearts goes for everybody who is unfairly delayed and denied their rights in the world's greatest country.
Thanks for Rajiv for this forum and the support it provides everyone.

Congrats!

Can U throw some light on this, as to how FIFO and FILO works. There are a lot of experts here who have shed all the light they had but USCIS does not seem to understand them.
Thanks and enjoy!
 
Wow what the journey you had during your GC process. Anyways its now over and its the party time!

Enjoy your FREEDOM!
 
Congrats gctakingtoolong,

I am moved by your kind words but I think those would really mean something if we help someone who is going through what we are going through.

I don't know if tommorrow some of us start our own business and after getting GC we change our face and start wanting others to do slavery for us. I think if we don't do the same thing we are the winners.

Party Time, Good Luck for future and have fun
 
Congrats gctakingtoolong and best of luck.
Anyway, I had got FP2 letter earlier than my RFE response with they being generated almost concurrently. I replied to RFE a couple of weeks before FP2.
I wonder why things seem to be slowing down recently.
 
CONGRATS. It's good to see an approval for the 2001 Veteran. Thanks for providing full details of your hard journey. Time to open beer cans and chill out. Good Luck!!

I wish I could tell you how FIFO or FILO or FIAO(first in anything out) works with CIS. Of late they have been following FINO(first in nothing out) policy. What I wanted to convey by that is, worst case you will get it when your turn comes. So there is a turn definitely for you..thats what I meant..
Thanks all for your replies..
