Last week I called INS and found out that my I-485 has been approved. Yesterday I got the original approval copy from my lawyer.
My details are:

Country : India
Type: NIW (EB2)
RECEIPT DATE: NOV. 4, 1999
NOTICE DATE: FEB. 13, 2001

This is the first time I am reporting in this group. Till now I just used to read others posting because I had nothing new to share with this group.
For me this was a long seven years journey to come this point.
My first EB2 application was rejected because my stupied lawyer (from Ann Arbor, MI) made mistakes. She (stupid lawyer) took around $5000 for
my first application. After that I hired two lawyers : one for RIR (EB2) application and another one for NIW (EB2) application. Both of my RIR and NIW
I-140 were approved but I applied I-485 based on my NIW because it has the fexibility to change employer. Also I applied for Canadia GC and got it
to be in safe side. In these whole process I had spent total $15,600.

I think I am one of those hard luck guys. My suggestion to all GC applicants is that always keep your hope high.

In this long seven years journey I had to different family as well as mental tensions. Anyway, I don\'t want to in details in those matters.

Good Luck to all GC applicants.

Bye now,

Congratulations. Seven year is a real long long wait. But
your patience all through 7 years finally paid off. I am
still waiting for my 485 approval but it hasn\'t even been
3 years. Should arrive in not more than 4 months. If it
does, the total processing time would be around 40 months
or less, which isn\'t so bad. We should all keep the fingers
crossed. If you can keep your hopes high despite painfully
long wait, why not rest of us can!

Hi Jacky Tyrbo:
I did my finger print on Dec. 2, 2000 at Chicago.

I have already mentioned my ND of 485. It is Feb. 13, 2001.

Hope, this will answer your question.

Bye now,

HOPE6
