CSC I-485 **Approvals** in JULY 2004.
- Thread starter wac03-148
- Start date
#40 nhats: Approved WAC-02-205-5****
Well a new phase is about to start. First off, I wanted to thank everybody for sharing their information, wisdom and encouragement. I especially wanted to mention SILLYMAN who called me in my cellphone and give words of encouragement when I was anxious to change jobs last October after my original petitioner died. Last year is a very bad year for me. My father died, my petitioner died, the office which I had been working closed and I was nearly unemployed. However the good thing is I was able to find work quickly due to the recommendation of a peer reviewer who saw the quality of work I produced and suggested to another CPA to hire me "cheaply" and continue my petition.
I am one of the avid lurker in this forum. One who checked for new messages or information at least 5 times in a day, I am also an occasional poster who voiced out frustrated inquiries, and ALWAYS received replies from very very nice and helpful people in this forum.
Hopefully upon the receipt of this much awaited greencard I will get the "salary" due to me. The question now is how soon could I leave this employer so that it won't affect future citizenship plans. Maybe the moderators in this forum could shed some light on this?
To those who are still waiting, I pray for your speedy approvals. To Mr. Khanna, I wish him and his family good health and success for this free and great service to the immigration community. To the moderators of this forum like Kashmir, I-140 takes 4ever, etc. for your ideas, help and trying to keep track of the irrational behavior of the INS/BCIS/USCIS -- THANK YOU!
I used my advance parole once. Hopefully I could go home next year (after I saved enough money) without fear at the LAX port of entry, see my father's grave and bid him the farewell long denied to me after my Advance Parole expired and after my original employer did not allow me to take my leave and asking me to choose between going home and losing my job/withdrawal of his petition.
This is one journey I won't forget. One of the toughest battle you and I face. But it is all made sweeter because we did it without hurting anybody, working to the best of our ability and proving that we deserve to be here.

#45 WAC02103: I-485 Approved and Passport Stamped!
My case was approved on June 30. (On the 30th, I took my parents to Sausalito where this bird pooped on my mom. She said it was a sign that something big was about to happen. I always told her she's a bit too superstitious but I guess in this case, she was right.
)
Got passport stamped today. Got in from Sansome street. Arrived at 7:15 am and left at 11:45. They took my advance parole, 2 ADIT photos and I-94.
Thank you all for sharing your experiences! The information has been really helpful for me. Best of luck to you all!

#47 ngadhia: Approved (Welcome notice) and San Jose Stamping experience
Hi Friends,
First of all I thanks everybody in this Forum , specially Kashmir, Silly Man, 140_takes_4ever,desi-bartender, Funnywait,Mazdur_Desi and many others who kept this Forum live with excellent information for current and future applicants. Thanks to Rajeev Khanna and his staff for all things they have done for this forum.
I got my approval letter yesterday (07/8/2004) with Notice Type : Welcome Notice. Although having this approval notice in hand , I was not very happy as there was some notices sent out by mistake and was wondering am I one of the victim of such an error by USCIS. But today I had been for Stamping at San Jose Local USCIS office ( Monteray), and it turned out that this is a valid approval notice, and got our (me and my wife's) passport stamped.
San Jose Stamping Experience
Reached USCIS Local office at Monteray street , San Jose at 5:50 am. At 6:45 a seciurity officer read some rules, one of which was ADIT processing people should not stand in Appointment line, no food ..blah ..blah...blah..
Entered the Hall at 8:45, got a tocken from the front counter. Waited for 5 painfull hours to get my turn. Then was called by IO asked for the following
for me and my wife.
1. Approval Notice (I-797)
2. EAD
3. AP, I94 if any
4. Passport
5. 2 photographs.
Returned the passport with stamp valid upto 1 year.( hand written I485 approved).
Got out of the premises at 1:15 pm. Seven Painfull hours.. But I am very happy today.
For those who received this Welcome Notice, with information describing "You will receive the Permenant Green Card in 3 weeks time". This information is incorrect as per the IO in San Jose. She informed it me will take 6-10 months for me to receive the Plastic Card. She then mentioned the information in the receipt is not possible, as they don't have Budget (man power) to complete the plastic card stuff in 3 weeks.
Our Passport stamp is valid for 1 year.
thank you all and Good Luck.

Hi,
I got the email notification yesterday night that both my and my wife's I485 have been approved. It has been a long and tiring journey for about 2 and half years since I filed my 485. A collegue of mine who filed 2 months before I filed got approved in less than one year's time. Anyway, it is time for celebration. I sincerely thank every one in this forum and in particular guys like Kashmir, 140_takes_forever, sillyman for coming forward and helping other guys out here. Also to Rajiv, without him this wonderful forum wouldnt exist.
Just last week I got a mail from my lawyer saying that they received an email notification from BCIS that my case has been taken up by an officer. I wasnt sure how long it was going to take for approval. It has come in less than a week. For those who responded to my previous email about the wait time, I want to say, "There is HOPE". I wish them good luck.
Do you know how much time I have to go for stamping after I receive the approval notice? My family is in India and I have to make arrangements, if I dont have much time for that. Thanks.

Hi everybody,
Finally the day has come for us. My wife and me got apporved on 7/9/2004. It's a great relief and a joy! I got 2 RFE, 1 for Paystub and Birth certi, and another for Birth certi again. Looked like they needed our original certi to be resubmitted with our parents affidavit since we didnt have our name on certi. So the 2nd time we resubmitted our certi and got approved!
Thanks Pralay for providing Birth certi format.
I would like to pass our special thanks Mr. Khanna, Kashmir, 140_takes_4ever and other moderators.
I wish all other "waiters" best of luck!

My wife's online message is unchanged. Still showing LUD last year, not even reflecting the 2nd FP. I'll check with my lawyer Monday. Anyone has same situation? Will she be approved soon?
I come to this forum more often than I check my online status. The encouragement, help, rumor/information provided me a source for comfortness. Thanks everyone! I think it's my time to make donation on approvement.

RFE recived 2nd July (ususal one. Employment verifications and 3 year w-2's)
approved 9th July.
I guess putting pressure through lawyer or sending faxes helps. My case was not getting any progress when I started bugging my attorney to call CSC and started faxing myself. Saw 2nd FP immediately after that. Again bugged attorney one month after 2nd FP on why is no action on my case after FP. Soon I got 2nd RFE and then luckily wait after RFE wasn't long.
hang on friends it's just matter of time. For some wait is slightly longer.

WAC021785* Approved. Spouse got RFE
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Got an email from my lawyer that my case has been approved.
Many thanks to all the forum members for keeping the spirits up!
However my wife got an RFE. NOt sure what it is since I am on vacation in India.
What is the most common RFE in such cases. Since I am in India anyway, should I be get some documents prepared for the RFE?
Thanks Again

#57 phx1999: Approved WAC03116
Finally, today I saw those magic words on my status. Our journey began back in Sep 2000. Our attorneys slept on the case for 5 months before filing it - EB3 RIR. DOL slept on it for 2 years and got LC cleared by 2003. I was lucky to get 140 in 6 months and now 485 in just about year and half. I took Lusik's advice and faxed couple of enquiries and also had an address change.
It would have been happier if the approvals had come in sequence. Having experienced the unjustifiable wait during my LCA, I understand the frustration of WAC02 (and some WAC01 ) folks. If these govt entities follow FIFO rule and some commonsense, our life would have been less painful.This is just like standing on a queue for kerosene on PDS shop in India and being called at random order .
I had some " very unfortunate incidents" last week just becoz I did not have a green card and lost some money also.
Kashmir,
Thanks for your efforts and we will be voting by 2008 and we will work together to get there. And for all those who are talking nonsense about Kashmir, just shutup and follow the leader. Scanning is something that he came up with and he has everyright to use it to help the greater cause for the community.
My online status says approved. Yet to receive emails.
For all of you LUD followers (just like me!)
My case : 5/7 , 5/16 , 5/25 , 6/20 , 6/24 , 7/5 , 7/7 , 7/8 , 7/9 , 7/12(approval) . Approval date is 07/09
My wifes case : 5/7 , 5/16 , 5/25 , 6/20 , 6/24 , 7/12 (approval)
My sons case : 5/7 , 5/16 , 5/25 , 6/20 , 6/24 , 7/5 , 7/12(approval)
and i firmly believe based my intrepretation that if your cases were touched on 6/24 or 7/5 then you are not too far from approval. Also, I believe Lusik's theory about faxing enquiries for concurrent filing.
Phx1999.

Hi,
Just checked online status and found tha my wife's and my I-485 are approved. Have not received email from USCIS yet.
Finished 2nd FP on June 4, 2004, and LUD changed on 6/22, 6/23, 6/24, then on July 3, my case online message changed to "On June 27, your I485 Application to Register Permanent Residence or to Adjust Status was received here for processing....", but my wife's online status was not changed. Call 1-800 number on July 8 and was told that "your case was transferred to local", I did not believe and asked to talk to IIO, the IIO told me my case is still in normal process state. On July 8 afternoon,my wife's status message also changed to "On June 27, your I485 Appl..." and I found that my I-140 was also be touched on July 8.
My case was touched again on July 9.
I think if you find that your I-140 is touched, your case should be approved in 1-2 days.
Thanks all the people who dedicate and try to help others: Rajeev, kashimr, 140_takes_4ever, Silly man, desi-bartender and all the people who helped out here!!
Regards,

#59 Myxa: WAC 02 066 approved on July 7
After almost 3 years of waiting for AOS has been approved on July 7 (mine and child, spouse case is still pending).
Received e-mail notifications on July 7 and on July 9 received courtesy copy of approval notices.
EB3 case. Changed job 2 times (switched > 180 days after I485 receipt).
First time notified CSC on job change, second time replied on RFE with EVL, tax papers, pay stubs.
It took 8 month to be approved after replying to RFE!
This forum is great! Thanks to Rajiv S. Khanna for organizing and hosting this forum and everybody who contributed personal time sharing their experience/knowledge.
Wish everybody faster approvals.
