Ladies and Gentleman:
I am pleased to inform that me and my wife\'s I-485 has been approved( as per AVM) after waiting for nearly 5 years on July 11,2001. I feel so relieved that it is finally over.
My details are as follows --
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
August 1996 -- Filed regular labour certifiacation.
Sept 1998 -- Got labour certifiacation approved.
Nov 1998 -- Filed I-140
May 1999 -- Got I-140 approved
Waited for 4 months to get PD current.
Filed I-485 in sept 20,1999
FP - Mar 7,2001
Replied RFE for employment letter April 6,2001
April 24 2001 --Case went On hold due to company name change
June 19,2001 -- AC21 regulations released hold on my case resulting in approval on July 11,2001
Got two EAD \'s since oct 99.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
One can see that I had tough time in getting green card approved.Getting through the whole process would have been more difficult without this excellent web site. I observed following during last few years...
1.Waiting for regulations regarding company name change cases was the most frustrating period in the entire process. I know how it feels when people who filed nearly a year after you are getting approved while your case is lying unapproved . It took more than eight months for INS to release these regulations . In the meantime people like me suffered.
2. Luck plays a big role in the entire process.
3.Even though you pay fee for filing I-485 there is no accountabilty on part of INS to get your file adjudicated in timely fashion.
One has to redial at least for 25 minutes to get a chance to talk with IIO and yet get no meaningful information.
I wish best of luck to everybody especially for those who are still waiting due to company name change.
