Friends,
Finally I received the courtesy copy of approval notices from INS for me, my wife and my son.
I want to share my experience with IIO that may help at least some of us who is waiting so long for approval.
Till two weeks back I was in the same frustrating mood of most of our friends, Checking AVM ( bored about hearing of 999 ... days message ) and silently reading forum messages etc. Out of frustration on September 4th I called IIO, waited 2 hours to get connected and then finally one officer came online. I should call him as my life saver. He politely asked what can I do for you, sir. I asked the routine question "I want to know the status of my I-485 status".
As usual he took my WAC number and kept me on hold. After 5 minutes of waiting he informed me that my case ( or fingerprints ) not "scanned" ( I don't know what it means in their terms) till now and he promised he is going to transfer my case to different department. He apologized for the inconvenience.
Miraculously after one week my AVM updated with fingerprints received on so and so date message and after another one week I got notice of approval.
The IIO officer who handled my phone call did something and wiped of my frustration and other problems. So definitely he is my life saver. Hoping you are going to get one of such life saver when you call IIO.
Best of luck
