MTR - Approved
My I-140 is approved on 05/23/2005 (wife b'day) after I filed MTR/Appeal. My family's I-485 is approved on 05/27/2005 (daughter's b'day). I'm thankful to Rajiv Khanna for building and maintaining good portal. I've gained lot of information about the whole process from the members of this forum. I hope the good work gets better and many more people aspiring to immigrate to US will find this board helpful. Please find below brief history of my case.

I-140 LUD 01/20/2005 and 01/28/2005.
Called attorney to check whether they recd any RFE. She said "No"
I-140 LUD 03/03/2005 Message changed to "Recd your response to ..."
Confused, I called attorney again. She was apologetic and told me that she forgot to tell me about the NOID on I-140 (Education). She hadn't sent a new evaluation, instead wrote a letter that employer has no problem with my education. Shocked at her ignorance, I prepared myself for denial.
I-140 04/18/2005 Denied.
I approached for a second opinion. Everyone told its useless to pursue the case. With another LC in Dallas BEC (PD March 2003), I didnt have any interest to file MTR.
05/17/2005 Late in the evening the attorney calls to find out whether we would like to file MTR/Appeal. I said I would like to but only if we get a new educational evaluation.
05/18/2005 Last day to file MTR. Got Edu Eval done in the morning, Same day courier to file MTR.
05/23/2005 I-140 Approved (I couldnt believe it!!!)
05/27/2005 I-485 Approved for the whole family.
I would consider my self lucky and blessed. I filed MTR as I didnt want to think in future that what would have happened if I did file it. We are very happy and eagerly waiting for the approval notices. I have taken Infopass appointment in Chicago on 06/14/2005.
Thanks to everyone.
