Hello,
My i-485, i130 and i765 were filed on Sept 2 3005. Got the work permit pretty easily. had interview and approval of 130 on Feb 22 2006 (almost 1 year ago!). Now waiting for 485 approval. I did not think it would take that long. because i am going back to Europe on Feb 22. I applied fro AP on Dec 19 2006. ABOUT THIS: Did you see that the USCIS issued a press release on October 20 telling people to apply then for AP to make sure they get before the holidays!!!1 EXCUSE ME BUT TO ME THAT MEANS about 2 month to get AP> FOr most of us, the holidays are around Dec 25th...so if they tell you to apply by the end of OCtober, that would mean less then 2 months no? I msut be too smart to think like this administration. Anyway, I am proabbly going to talk to a lawyer because my application is family-based so why is this taking so long? I wodner if I will end up leaving right before my AP is approved...which leads me to another question: how do they track all that? meaning your i-94, then see you are under a pending I-485, etc...don;t get it
Oh yes one more thing: i had a H1B valid through March 3 2007 so when i guive my i-94 when i leave on Feb 24, they will see that my i-94 expires on March 10, 2007....any chance that since I am coming back on March 11 this may help?
I am jsut so pissed to hear abuot people in the exact same situtation as me who got their 485 approval in less than 1 year!
thanks for your feedback!
