Greetings All,
After long exhausting hurdles from INS, "finally" our cases were approved. Today my spouse and me got our passports stamped at local INS office Arlington, VA. Still digesting the truth...
To make long story, short ...
Waited for one and half year after the transfer, we received interview letters from Arlington INS along with finger print notification. We finished our interview during second week of Dec,2002. Interview went smooth, and officer could not approve our cases because of FBI check. Yesterday we received I-485 approval letters, and today we got our passports stamped. It is a quite coincidence that the date on the approval matches exactly with date I landed in US 12 years ago.
One thing I still don't understand the reason behind the transfer. I did my masters here in CS, worked for several years before applying for GC, maintained absolute status with clean record, paid taxes, etc.. Well, Is it paid off? During this last year and half, I have gone through lot of stress, frustration... you name it..
It took 3 years 4 months to just finish 485 process. Believe it or not, I made a lot of effort to get the interview. Since the transfer, I met so many friends on this news group and I even spoke to most of them personally, and gave me valuable information. I would like to thank you all of them. To name a few....ACE, Marina, Shrni100, ashwariya, rvaldez, SuG, abci, NDOCT99, destiny101,GC4VP, Telecom Guy, iexp, and so on...
After long four year and five months wait of Green Card journey... Signing Off....
Thank you all, Best of luck to all...
