My application was mailed April 30, 01
The attorney's sent me email when it was approved. I work for a big five and the attorney's taken their merry time preparing the application, they beat around the bush 3 months making the application and when they sent it in came the 245i flooding.
But seems like things are moving. I notice the the Automated Email reply system does not work, and for my company it seems to be stuck at the same point for the last year. so thats unreliable.
this has been an extreemly long wait but finally the labor-pain is gone hopefully not to return to this group again.
My application did not require any priority date. So i am filling out both the 140 and 485 paperwork.
Good luck to all, there is light at the end of the tunnel, use this experience as a personal lesson of patience. It will only make you stronger.
