hard to believe ...

[starbucks]

...but all our GCs got approved (self, wife, 2 kids) on March 16 -
just checked the web site.

Thank you all my comrades for sharing my plight for all these days.
I have not seen any of you personally, all of you will be in my thoughts and prayers - I will continue working on this forum. I would like to mention especially cmr (I hope you get your interview soon my friend), nsc121901 - the fellow Dec. gang members.

A few words about myself - I worked for 12 years in India and then relocated to US in 1997 as the technical head of product development for a growing company. I then, set up a s/w branch for my company in India, grew it to a point where they can functional reasonably independently from US. I had to lay off more than 50% of my team in US (after 9/11), and there were continuous threats to my own job for the last 1 year. Could not get promoted here to an officer of the company, due to GC; in fact the time for that is now over.

Now I do have a fresh lease of life, and at age 43, I still have enough of a fight left in me to achieve what I seek to achieve.

Take care my friends, your time will come soon - may the force be with you .

Starbucks,

Many many congratulations to you and your family. I am really really happy for you all. I am going to miss a friend in my journey, but I'd rather see you gone than keep giving us company in this horrendous wait.

Take a deep breath, enjoy the moment and start a fresh phase in your life. I know how much it means to you to be finally able to sense the freedom and I am sure you'll enjoy every moment of it.

Take care, and dont forget to say hello once in a while(I am sure I am here for a long time...).

I am pretty sure it will be the turn of guys like Russian, Nsc121901 etc. next...so watch out guys!

Nice to see that there are other

old fogeys out there like me. And even nicer to see them getting approved.

Congratulations Starbucks and thanks for sharing your life's story. I'm responding to my RFEs today, and with my case being from September 2001, I'm hoping the approvals would come soon.
