saga continues....
mysunny007,
You forgot the next scenario. Let me try it.
Some future alternative Friday:
11 am: The date has moved past his Application date. He is thrilled. He thought he has made it. Freedom, fun, good job, GC…citizenship. Everything now looks on horizon.
11.01 am: Checks his case status on USCIS site. It is still same. The same old ugly message. Hope is not lost. May be the attorney has got his approval.
11.02 am : Calls his attorney. Nope, the attorney does not have any good news for him and advises him to give it some time.
11.10 am to 5pm: He checks it 50 times. Tells to client that he was unwell and could not attend any technical issue that day. After all, he has got his own technical snug to resolve.
10 am next day: Call to service center. He is told that the date has moved and an enquiry would be open for his case. He is assured that within 30 days, his life would be changed, the efficient customer service center of USCIS.
15 days later: The hope is still not lost. Many people have reported on immigration site that they were also waiting for the approval and he was just one of them.
30 days later: No progress yes. No news with attorney. The case status still gives the same message.
31 days later: Another call to service center. A new officer attends the call. Takes down all the details. Promises another enquiry. The new officer is very positive that things would be resolved in 30 days.
100 days later: Good advise from a well wisher to contact the congress man. He is assured by congress man for a positive action.
150 days later: Congress man replies that 140 and 485 are tied up together and both would get cleared soon.
180 days later: 6 service officers contacted, 6 enquiries started, no response yet. The company is not doing well. There is offer from other company, very large stable company, very good salary. He needs approved 140 desperately. The date has already moved 4 months past his application date.
210 days later: Same status except the good offer is now a past.
240 days later: Never ending misery.
And the saga continues till one day, when the guy is laid off from the job, no status left, packs his stuff and back to where he came from.
I have seen one such case with one of my friend and hope this is not repeated with anyone.
LET THE SAGA END HERE.
BUT HOW ????
