Folks,
my time to tell the story...
Received approval mail for both myself and wife on 06/18, case approved on 06/17. It was an AC21 case, no RFE. I did inform the INS based on Rajiv's advise, who is my attorney. After JIT passed my date, I had a fax enquiry done thru my attorney. 4 days later my case was approved.
My case overall took 5 years. Started in august 1999, got labor approved in 2000 august, got I-140 approved in Jan 2001. Then started my ordeal. My case was initially filed for consular processing. So after I-140 approval, INS did some screwup communicating with NSC(National Visa Center) and put my I-140 back under review. NSC meanwhile said they neven had any communication on my case from INS. After 1 year and repeated enquiries, there was no movement on my case. I approached INS thru Congressman Honda, on which INS came back saying my enquiry would be treated as enquiry on I140, and since I140 is my employers application, they would not entertain my enquiry. My employer refused to oblige me and do an enquiry.
Then on Rajiv's suggestion, I applied for I485. Little did I know then, that it will take so long.
Special thanks to Kashmir for making enormous effort. Also, thanks to 1amShantanuA/B for offering himself as a punching bag in times of great stress. My his soul rest in peace.
I wish all the waiters a speedy approval... Your time to cheer would be here soon.
