Here is an update on the waiting time from FP2 until Approval Tracker . Very minor (almost negligible) change in the stats ...

* Added Rajan !
* Put entries in increasing order

---------------------------------------
skusa --- 14
laptop --- 21
katvar --- 32
July02EB12 --- 32
Hueymeei --- 34
Kxw --- 35
Rajan --- 47
ea_ead --- 48
CosmicDream --- 55
Slipj --- 56
----------------------------------------

The quick result: typical wait is (5 +/- 2) weeks, or between 3 and 7 weeks.

Average: 37 days
Standard Deviation: 14 days

Of course, low sample statistics, but it gives an idea of what to expect ...

Are you sure about yygov ? I asked her/him, it wasn't clear from his/her approval whether she went through FP2 or not ... never got an answer ... what d'ya think ?
 
Mendieta

yygov is definitely EB1 and FP2 was 8/19/04 (I searched on all previous messages by yygov).

Congratulations mzgh!!

Congratulations mzgh!! That was a long, nervous wait since FP2.

Enjoy your moment then start to live again.

RPB8260
 
Congratulations, mzgh. Enjoy your well earned GC, and start celebrating!

I guess this leaves me as the longest post-FP2 pending case on this forum. I hope mzgh's luck rubs off on me, but maybe too much to hope for from VSC.....
 
Ststus Enquiry

gc-despo

Have you filed a status enquiry since the VSC I-485 processing date moved forward to Jun 1st 2003?

RPB8260
 
Yes, I initiated case status inquiry on Friday, Oct 22. I have also approached Calif senator's office for help yesterday.
 
Congrats... MGZH

Hi MGZH

Congrats for the good news. I hope you would be celebrating the happy news.

Sekar
 
Thanks guys! Congratulations to all who got it so far and my prayers for approval go to those that will smile soon amongst us.
File the inquiries please. My lawyer called monday and the day after: voila!
A favor to ask: if you guys know good doors to knock on in the high tech field between france and the US please let me know. A recent curve, and a beautiful one mind you ;-), ball from life :)
An immense thank you goes to all who contributed to this forum. Coming here everyday for the past 2 years was therapy for me.
Thank you so much.

Updated my entry. Actually, there's nothing special to report; just moved my entry up a few spaces in the tracker, because I realized I had entered in my ND instead of RD.

Also, no FP2 yet :( Called in yesterday to start a status inquiry using new processing date. However, considering the number of calls they must've gotten about this, I don't think anything's going to materialize! So the agony continues... But hey, who am I to complain? At least my I-140 got approved.

Still waitin'
