Finally, my case has been approved.
It's been a journey spanning approx 6 yrs. I had filed my Labor in Jan 1997 with a company which finally got dissolved in 1998. had to re-apply in June 1999 with another company. Had many issues and RFE's surrounding my H-1 extension beyond 6 yrs which left a bitter experience with INS. Had RFE on I-140, Advance parole and the latest on I-485 as well. Eventually looks like INS got fed up with my case and decided to approve it. And they didn't bother to update my AVM with the approval; instead i got it in the mail today, approved on Aug 12. Nevertheless, it's a big cause for celebration for us.
Case Details ; (also in PCee's list)
RD - 09/12/01
ND - 09/27/01
FP - 12/20/01 (Atlanta)
RFE Issued - 06/27/02 (Employment verification letter)
RFE Recd by INS - 07/23/02
Case Approved - 08/12/02 (AVM not updated yet; recd in mail on 08/16)
It's been an ordeal. But am glad it's all over now. a big thanks to this forum for the views and insights; with special appreciation for PCee's efforts. It's been a great moral support.
