Mine is NOT a concurrently filed case.

Yesterday, Apr-23-2004, GCs for my wife and myself were approved :D. I thought we were the worst effected and mentally prepared for 1 more year of waiting as we are in the end of the "JAN-02 to SEP-02" group.

Not sure if this is any coincidence or not, Apr-24th is my birthday!

I am a longtime visitor/reader of this portal and this is my first post in this forum. I would like to thank Rajeev S Khanna for providing this wonderful forum, PCGCEE, Sillyman, Kashmir, I40_takes_forever and all others who contribute a lot to this forum. Without you guys this waiting could have been a real hell.

Hang in there guys, the approvals are just round the corner!

Cheers!

Mine is also WAC022755xxxx. 1 FP expired, 2nd EAd/2nd AP approved. Awaiting 2nd FP.

Congratulation s on getting the USCIS off your back. Enjoy
 
The RFE was for standard stuff like EVL, W2s, Tax returns, company's ability to pay, pay stubs.

I went ahead of the schedule for finger printing. Went to San Jose instead of the scheduled OakLand. Somehow I wanted my fingerprinting check to be finished before they receive the RFE response.
 
Question

GCMAN_2001 & Others,

Can one get RFE before 2nd FP when the First FP has expired ?

It looks like GCMAN_2001 received the 2nd FP after the RFE. Isn't that unusual?
 
congrats GCMAN_2001

cagcwaiter, 2nd FP for me was generated about 3 days before RFE was generated. Case was approved 04/23. I have posted the details in a another thread. I think pretty soon we will see a lot of approvals.

Seems to be pretty common these days to get second fp after RFE.

pointerToGC,

Let us hope you are right, but going by INS's bad record so far, I wouldn't trust them till I see the approval remaining consistent over a period of time.
