Approved!!! Thanks everyone.
Folks,
Wait is over
; status changed on my July 02 I485 to APPROVED. Online status says an approval notice was mailed on Sept 9 2004. Still waiting for the notice to arrive.
I have been a visitor to this forum for a long time. Got many questions answered just by following few threads.
Here is a chronology of my case...
2001
Applied for labor Apr 2001
Labor approved in Apr 2002
2002
Applied for I140 in May 2002
I140 approved in 30 days
Applied for I485 on 24th July 2002
2003/2004
Address changed in June 2003
Sent AR 11 in June 2003
RFE issued on Feb 2004
Received RFE in May 2004 delayed due to address change.
Address change request made via NCSC did not make it to VSC for some reason, had to make several calls to finally get the address changed
RFE for DOB, EMP Letter, Pay stubs and w2.
Replied to RFE in Jun 2004

Registered with USCIS website for email approvals on 9th Sept 2004 around 1:12 PM

(***************COINCIDENCE???****************)
Approved on 9th Sept 2004
Waiting for the notice
Both my wife’s case and mine are approved on the same day.
I have few questions any answers are greatly appreciated.
1. How long it normally takes for approval notice to arrive?
2. How long one has to wait for the stamping/interview? Will it be within two weeks after approval?
3. I have an upcoming India trip in Oct first week; will we be able to get the passports stamped before we leave?
4. Where will we be going for stamping Boston, MA/Manchester, NH?
Wishing for the very best and quick approvals for every one who is still waiting.
Sorry for the long post.
