Dee Rod approooved; RD July 19; Wait for plastic card begins...
Dee Rod - 02:39pm Mar 18, 2002 EST
Guys,
I had been checking the AVM every night since July RD\'s started getting their approval. Each playing of the same AVM message on "12/27....processing resumed" brought more frustration. Felt like hurling the phone against the wall each time. Can\'t afford to lose the only cordless phone I have, so didn\'t. So, I did not check on Thursday night. Finding myself with time on my hands, I decided to check the AVM again on Friday night, March 15. I could not believe my ears when I heard "This case has been approved..." The rest of the message is still a blur, sounded like blah, blah to me. I checked it a couple more times and then checked my wife\'s #. Her case was approved too. Checked again with deliberate entry of WAC # while looking at the 485 receipts. There it was. Somehow knew that the approval notices would be in my mailbox on Saturday. They were. Wanted to rush over to work and inform you all about it. Can\'t do it from home, do not remember my password. But a weekend\'s worth of partying later, here it is. Plan on going for stamping at Santa Ana sometime this week even though the notice says LA. Got to get my haircut. Gotta look my best for that 10 years enduring photograph on the plastic card. Now the 6 months + wait begins for the plastic card. My details are on PCee\'s site but here they are again :
PD - 10/29/1999; EB3-RIR (That was a time in my company where EB2 was a problem. So, without waiting I chose EB3. Didn\'t lose too much)
I-140 applied 02/2000 at TSC
I-140 approved just a few days before EB3 retrogressed. Company did not inform me of approval until a week later.
1485, AP, EAD details
MD - 07/05/2001
RD - 07/19/2001
ND - 08/29/2001
WAC - WAC-01-270-56XXX
AP - 10/01
EAD - 12/01 (Got RFE for me for copy of I-140 approval notice; Marriage Cert. for my wife)
FP SCHED - 11/24/01 at Buena Park ASC
FP DONE - 11/06/01 at Buena Park ASC
AD - 03/14/2002
The whole process starting from Labor took a little over 2 years and 4 months. About 1 year 4 months of that was wasted waiting for EB3 to become current. All said and done not too bad.
Many thanks to CIBA, PCee, rsrgc/Rjngh2000 and all the others who posted and had what were largely fruitful, knowledgeable and useful discussions. I will be visiting this board frequently. Don\'t know how I will wean myself away eventually. I have become almost addicted to the board. Will post my stamping experience on the stamping experiences thread. Wish all of you a speedy approval.

Friends,
I guess now its my turn to share this news, Just heard the magic words on AVM. I cannot believe this, I had been a regular memeber on this board. This board is amazing, Thanks to Ciba and Pcee for all your help.
The last 5 years had been tough, My original PD was of June 1996, but I moved companies and finally filled for GC in June 2000 in EB3/RIR. Upon approval again filed for EB2/RIR ( BS +5 years)
got approved and there after it was the usual process.
All of you who are waiting, hang in there and you will get your approvals soon. Finally a last word ! getting early FP done does help. I got mine done in Nov.
Thanks.

Thanks to all the friends/well-wishers in this forum, we completed our stamping at SFO yesterdaywithout any surprises.
A lot has already been posted in stamping experience. Couple of points from my side.
101N -> 4th street(last SFO exit) -> after exit left on 3rd street - > drive past Market street -> parked at Kearny X washington ->Total $ 22.00@$7.50 per hour -> walked 2 blocks to 630 Sansome Street -> after security check - > second floor -> Room 200 -. Right hand side -> 200B - > slid the approval notices in the holy slot - > here comes the tip --Instead of waiting in front of the slot, wait in front of counter 19 --. here comes the second tip - > INS processing is not by perfect logic from start to end -> they processed o LIFO basis instead of FIFO -> it took 60 minutes for our turn while newcomes were called first as their approval notices were on top of otheres (?) - > submitted all the required papers - > waited for 20 minutes more -> Got the unglamourous but millin dollar worth of stamp - > wrapped up Passport in double plastic bag -> went to kinkos- made 2 photocopies and then to bank safe deposit vault and kept the passport with Gc stamp in safe deposit locker.
Tip number 3 - Get some food to eat while waiting.
Tip number 4 -> Get your laptop or books to read
Thanks my friends.
It was truly fun ride.
Special thanks to PCee, rsrgc/ringZing2000 and all well-wishers
