Dear Folks,
Finally those Magic words on the USCIS Website. My wife and I got approved yesterday (March 16th 2004). It was quite a rough ride for over an year. Many a times, I stopped seeing the USCIS website as it brings down anybody's morale and self confidence.
Thanks for Rajiv Khanna for maintaining this incredible website serving the Immigrant Community which keeps anyone's hope alive.
Both my wife and I signed the petition to sue the INS as I always felt that we pay dearly for somebody's inefficiency.
Brief History,
Landed up in US - 1998.
Applied for Labor - Jan 2001.
Labor Approved - Sep 2001.
Applied for I-140 - Oct 2001.
I-140 Approved - Jan 2002.
Applied for I-485 - March 2002.
Approved - March 2004.
In between 5 EAD's (2 for me and 3 for my wife) & 5 AP's (2 for me and 3 for my wife).
I sincerely pray for all the folks who aspire for the Approval day in their lives. The valuable lesson I learnt from this GC experience is not to make any plans or decisions based on this GC.
Thank you all and Best of Luck.
