BVM - Finally approved.
I don\'t know, I kind of feel blank and do not know what to say. Its still sinking in. The pessimistic me did not want to announce it till I got the approval notice in hand but the "true" me could not resist.
Thanks everybody for their wishes. Scorpion raj, dee rod, rsrjc, kotag kris, inkoya, tamizan, gcJuly.... u,him,she,them...
And Then PCee, Thanks. Thanks for all the hard work, thanks for being selfless and the thing that stood out most was u staying away from all the controversy. Keep it up. Here\'s wishing u a very speedy approval.
As for the approval itself, AVM says it was approved on 21st May 2002. I do not know whether it was the Fax that my lawyer sent in on Friday (may 17th - 60 days since replying to RFE) or was it a letter I had written to the local congress woman that helped the approval.
I had written to the congress woman regarding my case on the 9th of May and just yesterday (may 21st) I recd a letter from here stating that she had contacted the INS and requested them to expedite my case.
