Really no secrets.

Really no secrets. But it was a great experience.

I had totally given up the hope when I came to know about the regression on Dec 10th 2004. But on Dec 13th I was told that my LC was cleared. 7 days I religiously worked on sending the papers to the attorney. Something I would ever remember. All happened only because of the co-operation of my Employer and Attorney who even worked on weekends to prepare the papers. Me, my attorney and my employer are at 3 different timezones. A special thanks to FedEx Priority Overnight for being so prompt.

I485 Approved ... Jan 28, 2005 RD EB2

Hi Folks,

My I485 case approved an hour ago. I got those two magic emails at 1:00 pm EST. It is a great relief.

I wish all the people waiting for green card should receive soon.
 
Finally freedom

Folks,

Finally after 5 yrs of processing i got my GC Approved, got my welcome notice on friday. Details below.

EB2 VSC
LC Receipt date OCT, 2001 Approved on OCT , 2003 NJ
I140 ND DEC, 2003
I140 AD May, 2005
I485 ND JAN 7th, 2005
765 AD APR 04, 2005
131 AD APR 13, 2005

FP ND Feb 28, 2005 FP done on APR 14th, 2005
I485 AD MAY 27, 2005
 
485 Approved Today

I recevied the magic mails from USCIS for both of us, saying that:

"
Application Type: I485 , Application to Register Permanent Residence or to Adjust Status

On June 6, 2005, after approving your application, we ordered you a new card. Your card will be mailed to you as soon as it is ready."


Guess that the lengthy and painful GC process is finally at its end. According to the email and information posted on the USCIS website for our cases, my guess is that we don't need to be interviewed or getting Passport stamp before receiving a real plastic card???

Thanks to Rajiv Khanna for having such a good site.

Same here. My spouse's 485 was approved yesterday, and today her card was ordered.
I, primary applicant, have been approved in April, and went to PS (passport stamp).
I don't know if she has to go to PS even after she will get her card.
I know some people had same experience, but I can not find their thread.

Hi gunasek,

Hearty congratulations to you. Did you get your labor done in EB2 or EB3?

Enjoy!!!

Thanks, supply_demand!

I applied through EB1-EA category, which does not require labor certification process.

Best wishes to you.
