Finally, Finally, Finally I can say this...
Our GC's have been approved - after more than 2 years since filing I-485. Just now I received four e-mails from USCIS.
This approval has come after a long and frustrating 26 months of wait. I was beginning to lose my sanity and the reality is yet to sink in. These forums along with all it's founders, members and moderators have been a great source of information in addition to being tremendous moral support through this ordeal. Thank you all.
