RD-04/18
ND-06/18
WAC-01-216
FP-done on Nov 27(as scheduled)
AD-01/15
Received in mail on 19 jan.
message directly changed to processing resumed.
 
Ring Zing, I counted 28 approvals in the last week

I agree that all of them are not April, May and some of them are not listed on CIBA and PCees list.
But I tend to believe the approvals. There is no reason for 28 people to provide false data.

That is indeed a start of the flood.....i would say.
I am definitely expecting a tons of approvals on Thursday and Friday in this week.
If not 45 then another 30.

Good work Ring Zing. I a appending this thread in my weekly approvals thread as well.

All the best to everybody.
 
second stage approved april rd (rfe case)

Another 485 approval
second stage - 01:29pm Jan 23, 2002 EST

Folks,

Am kinda happy although its a pain being laid-off.
 EB2 RIR, INDIA
 RD 04/01
 ND 04/19
 EAD/AP - received sometime in AUG/SEP 2001

Sent FAX on 08/01 requesting an FP notice and I believe this helped...
 FP 08/08(scheduled for 10/31)
 I think doing FP ahead of schedule(2 months earlier) caused an RFE..
 RFE responded 10/27
 AVM updated with RFE response 12/29

Sent FAX on 01/05 for Level 1 inquiry and I believe this helped...
 AVM says case approved 01/22

Will wait for the approval notice in mail...
 Am not on CIBA\'s list, since the list AS IS was growing bigger but its
 a one heck fantastic job that CIBA has been doing....
 I believe CSC is moving forward with all the RFE cases and March/April
 Notice Date folks should expect approval soon.

Called IIO several times(maybe 20-30) during the past 3 yrs and personally
 I feel calling them does not affect our application, again its only
 my gut feeling...

Will post my experience after PP stamping in San Jose..

Cheers,
 Second

WHAT A SENSE OF HAPPINESS -- CASE APPROVED MARCH ND !!!!!
Mohammed Yakoob - 09:32am Jan 24, 2002 EST

Hello Folks,

I heard the Magic words this morning that 485 is approved for me and my wife. Strange i checked last night at 8:45pm and it still said the same usual message. However this morning the AVM said the case is approved.

Thanks to everybody on this board for plenty of information. Here are my case Details:
WAC-01-143-XXXXX ND 03/28 FP - done on July 19th. Since then waiting for approval. I do not know if this helped but last week on this board i saw a discussion saying somebody got the approval after sending a Fax inquiry.
So i did fax a inquiry myself @ these no\'s: (949) 389 3482,(949) 643 1538, (949) 389 3484.

HAng on March/April ND\'s, most of you all are very very close. CIBA, please update my case info on your tracking site.

message from rsrgc

wow - may 25 rd (no kidding)
 
Ring Zing - can you append the count since 1st Jan?

Since you are maintaining the recent approvals list almost from start of Jan 2002,
can you do a little exercise and count all the approvals since Jan1, 2002 and append in the subject line of your wonderful thread.

I feel, since 10th Jan 2002, we have seen close to 50 approvals on this site.
IF you could gather the numbers, we can reduce anxiety level of lot of folks including you and me.

Thanks in advance.
 
50 approvals counted in this thread so far

Yes - vishnu i shall add the number
Good suggestion
 
Thank you !!!

We got around 50 approvals in the month of January so far.
I guess they started from second week.
This means we got so many approvals in less than 10 working days.
I would rate this as flood......for sure
We still have so many waiting (approx.)
120-60 = 60 for April
100 - 10 = 90 for May
100- 1 = 99 for June total 250 upto June
June onwards all.
So with current speed, it should take roughly 50 working days to clearoff upto June end 2001.

Lucky No. 52 : Our Henrysh got approved :)

Just made my daily routine AVM check after 9:00 o\'clock and heard both my and my wife\'s cases got approved on 01/24 (today)!

Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva (Guanyin Pusa in Chinese) Be Praised!

Case details:

EB2-RIR, China
PD: 04/2000
RD: 04/23/01
ND: 06/21/01
FP: scheduled 11/17, done 10/05, Santa Rosa
AD: today 01/24/02
I am on both Ciba and PCee\'s list with handle "henrysh".

Words are not enough to express my gratitude to Ciba and you guys.
Folks, I owe you too much. Special thanks to Indian guys who
help people tirelessly. One day I said in here that Indian guys more
like to share info with others and more like to spend time on giving
help. Pump\'s answer for this was: "Before Indians and Chinese,
we are all human beings." I will engrave this on my heart, and
try to be the most faithful friend of Indians.

Folks, don\'t lose your faith and patience. Don\'t let INS ruin your life.
Sooner or later you are gonna make it. Thank Bodhisattva, during the long
wait of GC, I have been always happy.

I\'ll still be here, my friends! In case you want to shoot me a private message, write to datoumei@yahoo.com. Bongo, Pump, Cobwebs, Vishnu, Dee Rod, Jony Lever, Venky, you guys write to me ok?

Henry
 
No 53----->Bhagwan rd april 17 approved

rsrgc "Bhagwan 01-203 Approved!!" 1/25/02 10:08am

Bhagwan 01-203 Approved!!
Bhagwan - 02:54am Jan 25, 2002 EST
EB2/India RD 4/17, ND 6/6 WAC 01-203 EAD (7/13), AP(RFE 7/19, Approved 9/10), FP (sched. 11/2 at Oakland, done at SJ on 10/13) AVM - Oct 17, then Dec 29 AD- Jan 24

Guys,

Finally heard the words \'Approved on Jan 24\' for all of us.

My details are in top line - so I\'m not repeating it - just AVM stuff - it was initially \'FP recd on Oct 17 and pending review\' and later changed to \'Dec 29 and processing resumed\'.

Also, I had talked 2 times to IIO in end-Oct and early Nov - but then stopped calling during daytime - just a regular AVM check every night at 9 on weekdays for last 60-70 days - today first time got late and checked at 11 p.m.

Thanks to all the participants on this Board. I feel very good and thankful about people like Rajeev Khanna, Ciba, PCee and others who make this somewhat almost tortuous Green Card journey bearable. Also, thanks to the fellow waiters - Henrysh (Congrats!!), Bongo, Jony Lever, Vishnu Mahadev, Dee Rod, RingJing and others. Good luck to all who are weaiting.
 
No 54-----> Anika Gupta approved rd April

Approved!!! April Mailer
anika Gupta - 03:51am Jan 25, 2002 EST

My case has been approved on 24th Jan according to voice message. It is a
huge relief. I have been on this board for about a month. It is wonderful
 place.to get an rough estimate. But at the same time, it makes impatient
, or makes addict to look everyday. I never thought it would be like I would
go so impatient to look about my approval. I have filed three patents in
a very stable and renowned company. It is not that I am showing off.

I am so grateful to everyone, who helped with my frustration. I wish the
everyone the best here. I know the people answered my question, and
they treated with respect a newcomer,

Wish you quick approval,

Anika
