Hi,
At last its my turn to post this message. Mine and my wife\'s 485\'s are approved. Here are the details:
PD:1/21/98
RD:8/12/99
ND:10/4/99
FP:6/23/00
AD:5/10/01
EB3 India NSC
LIN - 00002-503xx
AVM changed only today to \'This case has been approved on may 10th......\' for both of us. I checked even yesterday
and it had the same \'440-470 days\' message. I was worried as NSC is approving all 2000 cases and went up to April RD\'s.
Even some EB3 99 cases came through. I thought my file ended up in the dust. I was actually expecting an RFE as I submitted only a non-availability certificate from a municipality and a birth certificate issued by a military hospital. All it mentioned was my father\'s name, my name and the DOB. Only the non-availability cert. had my mother\'s name. But I guess NSC valued the military certificate and I was spared. During the 1st week of may I talked to a nice IIO who put a note on my case for someone to look at. Don\'t know if that helped or not. Haven\'t received approval notice yet.
One of my colleague with similar dates as mine is approved on May 7th or 8th.
Came here in 91 and went thru all the troubles of a student and finished my masters degree. It didn\'t help me to get into EB2 because of the so called \'minimum requirement of a job has to be masters\' clause. I guess GC processing is the last place one should look for fairness. For whatever its worth I\'m relieved its done.
Well, boards like immigrationportal and isn.org has been a tremendous help during these tough times. Kudos to myladoor for his selfless efforts.
All pending EB3\'s hang in there, I think NSC is trying to clean up all pending EB3 cases.
I would appreciate if anybody can post Stamping experiences at Desmoines, IA office.
