# 3 => Amburan

amburan - 09:14am Feb 5, 2002 EST

    grant me the perm. residency.

    My wife (I always trust my wifes midas touch) checked up and woke me up to inform that I got approved. Now I have to wait for her to get approved which is
    also in the same stage, as we both applied separately.

    I just talked yesterday to an IIO who said that my file is \'Adjudication Ready\', so that any time it may be approved.

    There were days I had got so fed up and the thought of me returning back lingered. The interesting thing of the whole fact is that I finished my MBA. It is
    just a permission to stay in US. But for me this journey had been a long one, as having waited for applying alomost 2 years after coming to US and then I
    missed to apply 485 by four days when the date got retrogressed in April 2000. Had to wait for almost one year when my dates become current.....

    Compared to others, I will be exhausting my 6 years in another two months, which is not bad....Been with the same company for this long....

    Finally, I would like to thank all these wonderful co-applicants and aspirants of GC who made the last one year interesting by providing valuable
    suggestions... and special thanks goes to Rajiv Khanna for providing this forum...

    I would thank all those regular contributors, irregular contributors, fantatics, gurus, contrarians for their views... thanks to CIBA, PCEE for maintaining the
    summary....

    Will be back with the stamping experience.

# 7 => sitsit => I-485 approval on Feb 3 2002.

sitsit - 06:04pm Feb 5, 2002 EST

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Hi,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I switched jobs after finishing 180 days with my old employer. I joined another company and after finishing my finger printing, I got I-485 approval on Feb 3 2002. My lawyer (from the old
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;company) says that since I and my new company did not notify INS of the change, the validity of my green card is not clear. Is this true ? Is there such a mandate with regards to 180
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;day rule ? Please let me know.

Holly Molly my case has been approved
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;AllanGreenSpan - 09:37pm Feb 5, 2002 EST

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Hello,
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I am pleased to inform that my case and my wife\'s case has been approved on 02/04/2002.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Case details
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;=============
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;WAC-01-224-52XXX
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;PD 09/09/1999
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;FP 11/07/2001
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;EB3/EB2 India (See below for details)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Had to apply for my Labor &amp; I140 twice as my attorney screwed up and applied for me in EB3 even though I had BS+7 years progressive experience. Life was getting dull and
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;boring every day. Survived 4 layoffs(Our team size was 62 originally we are now 14). The fun part is I was expecting a RFE for my wife\'s medical exam(She was pregnant
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;during medical tests). However they approved the case without further exams. I hope this is not a automated message malfunction.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Good luck to you all in your green card journey and in your future endeavors. I will miss all the funny comments, INS gossip etc.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;RFE case approved!
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Henry ForGC - 01:00pm Feb 6, 2002 EST
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Dear Friends:
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;You are among the first people that I want to share the news with, as I promised before.
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I checked AVM this morning and heard the wonderful word &quot;approved&quot; for all our pending cases. Subconsciously, I am still worried that this might be a wrong information. I
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;certainly hope not.
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I want to thank, first of all, the people that made this site possible. I also want to thank all the people that are willing to share their information and experience. This site and
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;the people provided valuable support for all of us desperate waiters.
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Here are my details:
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;EB1-OR
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I-140 filed: 09/2000
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I-140 approved: 11/2000
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I-485:
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;RD: 02/2001
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;ND: 03/2001
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;FP Notice: 07/2001
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;FP done: 07/2001
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Company acqusition: BEFORE 180 days
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;RFE issued: 10/2001
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;RFE received: 11/2001
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;RFE for: W-2, pay stubs, copy of passport, I-20 Form, etc.
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;RFE replied: 11/2001
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Amended I-140 filed w/ RFE Response (not required by INS possibly because of not knowing the acqusition).
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;RFE acknowledged by CSC: 12/28/01 (?)
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Amended I-140 acknowledged: RD 12/28/01 (?)
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Cases not assigned yet in early January per a nice IIO.
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Amended I-140 approved: 02/04/02
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I-485 approved: 02/05/02
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Yet to receive the approval notice.
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;For quite a while, I thought that I would never get it. Here I am, I got it. Although my case is by no means a fast one, I should be happy considering how long some of our
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;friends have waited. For all the friends who are desperately waiting, don\'t lose your hope. You will be there!
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Best wishes!

Another INS Bummer!!! APPROVED!!!!!!!!!!!!!! - An RFE Case
sangli - 02:27pm Feb 6, 2002 EST

Hi,

I got mail from my lawyer today that my I-485 has been approved
on Feb 1, 2002. It got approved in one day after AVM acknowledged
the RFE response. I heard my approval on AVM on 4th Feb but waited
to confirm as I wanted to be sure this time..

RD: 4/23
ND: 6/20
FP: 10/30 (11/27)

RFE issued by INS: 12/26 (This was the first bummer when AVM said that
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;case is approved).

RFE responded : 1/25

AVM Updated on RFE response: 1/31

Case Approved: 2/1

Thank you to all who supported me for such a long time.

Thanks to everybody for there continued support.

How long it takes to get notice by mail? What documents are required to get passport stamped

 

[Dee Rod]

Correct me if I am wrong, but isn\'t this thread meant to count approvals starting feb 4...

This has app. 9 approvals with an AD prior to Feb 4. That is muddying up the numbers. Those approvals belong in last weeks thread. I remember that last weeks thread had app. 13 approvals. Add these 9 to it and you have 22 approvals for last week. That means that this week we have about 11 approvals to date. Just my observations.
BTW, I don\'t particularly care for the exact number of approvals as long as they keep coming fast and furious
