I wanted to let you all know that my and my wife's I-485 petitions have been APPROVED.

** I BELIEVE my APPROVAL to be a *MIRACLE*. Read my case details below **

My lawyer received the approval notice in mail today
and emailed me the scanned .pdf versions of the approval notices.

My WAC no. is WAC 03-046 XXXXX
RD is Oct 29, 2002.

2nd FP done on May 14th 2004.
Online status showed that Last updated date changed for my I-485 case on 06/14/2004
Again, Online status showed that Last updated date changed for my AND my wife's I-485 cases on 06/15/2004

I was pensively waiting for the result of my I-485 petition for the last 2 days.
Lawyer called me around noon and informed me about our APPROVALS
and then emailed me the scanned .pdf versions of the approval notices.


Here are details regarding my case.
http://boards.immigrationportal.com/showthread.php?threadid=125058

I applied my I-140 and I-485 concurrently in Oct 2002 through Company A.
I got an RFE for my I-140 in June 2003(asking for experience letter). Replied to this RFE in July 2003.

Company A laid me off in May 2003(> 180 days after I-485 RD)
I joined company B(startup) in May 2003. I then joined company C(stable company) in Sep 2003.

I got an RFE for my I-485 in March 2004(usual EVL, 3 yrs tax returns, W-2's etc). Lawyer replied to this RFE this week stating that I will be using AC21 portability and another letter stating my intent to no longer work for company A and continue full time employment with company C.
I-140 approved in April 2004.

To be more specific, I had changed jobs before my I-140 was approved.

And the recent INS memo states that
1) I-485 has to be pending for 180 days or more
2) I-140 has to be APPROVED
before AC21 can be used to change jobs.

I used to visit this forum atleast a couple of times each day for the past 18 months. I was mostly a silent member of ImmigrationPortal.com
