I 485 Pending. Pd 2001 Eb3 India. Gc Trauma

[For My Country]

I 485 PENDING. PD 2001 EB3 INDIA. GC TRAUMA

My GC process started in 1999, second year of my H1, by starting advertisements in Industry related magazines.
My employer and the company Attorney have managed to put brakes on my labor certification process as much as possible. My lack of awareness of the system made me to believe every thing said.
Even in 2001, I was made to wait till May to avoid the 245i cases rush. I was advised by my employer to not to mix with 245i cases and filed labor at last in Aug 2001.

Unfortunately, the labor process in NY State took nearly 4 years while other states were getting in less than 2 years.
Filed I140 and I 485 in Feb 2005. I 140 approved in April 2005.
In June 2005, I was only few days away from getting approved, that the Visa numbers became un-available.
Waited till October 2005 to find that India retrogression moved to 1998.
Endured years of trauma again to find that I 485 transferred to TSC from VSC in March 2007. Second FP in May 2007.

Mother passed away in May 2007. Went to India on AP. (After having submitted Tax returns for 10 years, I had to travel on a Parole document).
In June 2007 hoped for this trauma to end. Alas, its not so and God knows, how many months and years more.

Sorry to hear about your grief. I came here on H1 in 1999 and this is my 3rd attempt at GC. You've been here even longer. You are very close and I'm sure you will get your GC soon.

Good luck and god bless.

What hurts me.

What hurts me is when I see those 245i beneficiaries enjoying GC since 3 years. I know so many of them who got it even with only paper existence of the sponsoring company. On the other hand those substitute labor have jumped the fence and used April 2001 pre approved labors. I personally know many employers who made big money and will continue to make for a month more. I have no grudges on any body.

Here luck does play major role. Most importantly, we need to have a pro active Attorney. That’s what I missed since 1977. This Forum opened my eyes. I blame my self for not changing the Attorney and sticking to one employer.
