Finally, after a long wait, I have been blessed and my application has been approved. I have been checking the online website everyday for the last few months. I had checked at 8pm this evening and still the message had not changed. I rechecked at 11pm and saw the LUD change and approval message. Emails were set up to send to work address and thus I have not yet seen the approval emails.

I want to thank everybody on this forum for sharing their experiences and helping us all get through this long and complicated process. I have been following these threads since my state labor cert application.

Good luck to everyone.

Below is my info:
EB3 -- no RFEs
Labor cert (priority date) 5/21/01
I140/I485 ND 3/24/03
FP1 5/1/03 -- Online message updated with FP received on 5/5/03
I140 Approval 3/31/04
FP2 9/15/04 -- No change in online message or LUD
8th year H1B approval 11/17/04
I485 LUD 11/9/04, 11/11/04 -- suspect it was related to H1B approval. Online message still read "FP received on 5/5/03..."
I485 approval 2/14/05 with LUD change and online message change

Congratulations. Do you have any idea why it took so long to get your approval, specifically do you think it was because of name check?
 
Not sure why it took so long. I was about to check with FBI before I saw my approval since I was worried about why it was taking so long.

Thanks everyone for the messages of congratulations. I really wish you all the best of luck. Your cases will be approved soon.
