Just rec'd pager alerts for My Approval.

It is a very Interesting timing for me.

Pd - 12/99 ( even though I submitted my papers to my company in 04/99 becos of merger it took them time to submit my Labor)
Labor approved in 11/01
I-140 - approved in 03/02

My company's Legal dept found a small issue ( related to I-94) and refused to file my 485 but adviced to use Attorney & be ready for 245(i).

I-485 - applied in May 02

Laid off in Dec 02 ( more than 180 days)
Found a job in July 03 and moved to DC
Filed AR-11, subsequently got FP twice.
FP by TSC - Oct 03
FP by VSC - Nov 03
Case was never transferred to VSC.

07 July 04 - wife's case is Xferred to Washington DC office
12 July 04 - I am approved.

Interestingly when I rec'd the pager alert I was in middle of a conference Call.

I am drive back home playing the U2 song.

More to follow.

Very Glad to see some senior members approvals.

you deserve it after long painful wait which ends with good news.

Congratulations to u
 
Congratulations...Hopefully the interview call for your wife's case would be scheduled before you move to TX.
 
Congratulations

Have a blast, forget your past.


I quote my self from your earlier thread.

" Dont get too anxious yet.
GoAstros:



I really wished U would get an Approval rather than a transfer.

I feel bad that U feel sad. For some one who has been helping out most of the forum members with advise, trackers and what not, I would say get up dust your behind and start a strategy. I know U are a fighter.


Try to analyze the pros and cons DC vs. Houston. Like cwpj, poongunranar and longGC have mentioned transfer to Houston may not be in your best interest. One of my friends has been using my address (he moved to Dallas) to avoid an RFE, think about a friends address to avoid jurisdiction issue.

For some one who has been dealing with INS for a long time, it always feels like Why me? But believe me the relief, experience and the happiness you experience after your Approval will be matched only by a few.

Wish U have a smooth move, come up with a good strategy and get Approval quickly without much hassle."
 
Congratulations!! I know it's very frustrating to wait when you are unemployed for a while.

The Astros sucks thought!! Hopefully they will get it going after all-Star break. Wondering are you still going to follow Astros since you are in DC area now.
