Hi,
It has been an extremely long wait for the 485 approval but finally it finished. My lawyer called me on May 8 and told me that both mine and my wife's cases have been approved before she sent an inquiry to INS. Yesterday we went to JFK building in Boston and had our passports stamped. Although we have been waiting for this day for long time, surprisingly I didn't feel very happy. Maybe it is because it has been too long.
Here is the detail of our case:
RD: 8/6/2001
ND: 9/26/2001
FP: 12/18/2001
AD: 5/2/2003
There is no RFE. I first called IIO sometime in Oct., 2002, was told not assigned yet and to wait for 3-6 months. In Dec. called them again and was told that I-140 was not retrieved. It seemed to me that VSC treated my case as CP and tried to retrieve I140 from consulate office while it was in NVC. After that called them many times trying to have the problem fixed but each time either they told me nothing or "it is our job and we know how to do it and just wait". In March 2003, I called NVC and found out that finally VSC asked I-140 from the right place. At the end of April I had my lawyer check with VSC and she told me the case hasn't been assigned. In beginning of May lawyer said that she was going to file an inquiry then she called me the next day and told me she found our cases were approved from the online message.
For the people who are still waiting endlessly, keep your spirit up and your turn would be next.
