Oh God.....

You really are inspiration for all of us out here……Congrats..and thanks for your updation…
 
Congrats Chikki. Your story is truly inspiring and a model for endurance and patience. I am a relatively newbie to this forum. My RD is 03/26/03, ND is 04/01/03. I know I have a long way to go, but I have been in this country for almost 5 years, started my GC process very late due to circumstances and have been through crests and troughs time and again. My labor (RIR), 140, EAD, AP, FP all literally flew through in less than 9 months. Now I just have to wait, I guess. I am amazed how many people are out there going through this agonizing period and are still helpful and comforting one another even though most of us don't know each other except by some stupid user id. I just hope things change for better sooner than later.:)
 
Thanks all for your kind words.
My thoughts are that this whole GC process is like a black hole. No one know the rationale behind the time frames/ decisions, we all keep guessing.
I have seen several people wait for a lot of time before they scramble to get their process started, and then they worry about timely filing of 485 etc. Just dont wait, it is never a better time to start the process than rightaway.
Keep your dreams alive ..Cheers...;)
 
Congratulations !!!

You are right. File immediately. This is a black hole and the government want's to keep it that way. So do all the agencies involved. There is millions to be made in the process.....and this is achieved over the anxietes of us who are drilled in this process.

I have a couple of people who are GC holders and they only have to concentrate on the work and we have to worry about lot more than just work....:rolleyes:
