Dear freinds,
I have been with many of you since PBEC backlog days, but lost my username and so have been a silent reader of the forum. Today my Green Card has finally arrived. I want to thank everyone here for the continuous flow of information. It has been a great help, both for advice and moral support.
My details are below :
I485/I-140 applied : 29th July 2006
I-140 (switched to premium processing in dec) received : 14th January 2007
EAD applied : November 16th 2006
EAD received : February 2007
Fingerprinting : November 1st 2006
(received an LUD a few days later)
Wrote letters to senators, first lady, FBI chief and USCIS chief in March 2007
First service inquiry placed in March 2007 - said that I was stuck in name check, contact back in 6 months
Sent fax message to Nebraska service center requesting expedited service for approval because of difficult situation. This was denied because I couldn't show enough financial difficulty.
Second service inquiry placed on 20th September 2007
Then on October 14th, received welcome email.
Received card in the post today, October 22nd.
Received response to service inquiry in a separate letter saying that the I-485 had been approved.
My spouse's approval in still pending, he had an LUD 2 weeks ago, not sure if this means he has cleared name check ??
Good luck to everyone, keep fighting, the light at the end of the tunnel will be yours soon.
