Just received the courtesy copy of approval notice in my mail. My case detail is as follows:
Jan 2001: Started the process
Sep 2002:LC approved
Oct 2002: 140, 485 concurrent filing, EB2
Nov 2002: 1st FP
Mar 11, 2004: RFE generated
Mar 19, 2004: RFE received
Mar 25, 2004: RFE replied
Mar 26, 2004: RFE received by BCIS
Apr 3, 2004: 2nd FP
Apr 8, 2004: FP received by BCIS
Apr 13,2004: Case touched
May 20, 2004: Approval notice received (dated May 17)
2 APs, 2 EADs.

A few interesting things/info to share with everyone here:
1. My online case status never changed since Apr 8th. As of today, it still shows "Apr 8, FP received". Also, I never received any email notice. So, don't lose hope if you are in the same boat.
2. My original company was acquired by another company. AC21 was filed for me, although I don't know whether it's necessary.
3. All the notices except for the last one were sent to my old lawyer. For FP and approval, I also received copies directly.
4. I sent fax last week and yesterday, got no response and don't know if it had any impact. But it surely did no harm. For the content of the fax, I just said "Other: RFE is 60 days old".

I was introduced to this site by my friend very recently, yet I found the site and people here are very nice, helpful, informative and doing a great job helping everybody get through this ordeal. Thanks to everyone in the forum and especially people who lead. I am indebted to the data/trackers and informative threads done by Kashmir, ND022202, 140_takes_forever and many others.
I feel very lucky and a bit guilty to get the approval while many wac02ers including some of my friends are still waiting. Sincerely wish everybody here get his/her GC soon.
Best regards.
 
Hey, congrats and don't feel any guilt at all cuz we are not in an ideal world.

So was your 140 ever approved ??
Your list doesn't include that == just wondering ....
 
how do you check the 'last touched on' date?

the above postings seem to indicate that one can find out when one's case has been 'touched'. how do you do that?
 
1. The RFE asked for EVL, 3 years of tax return, 3 most recent pay checks.
2. My 140 was approved somewhere in early 2003.
3. I did my 2nd fp the next day after I received the notice. Actually I did it in Santa Barbara because I just happened to be there, although it's scheduled in San Jose.
4. To find your "touch date", register a free account from the BCIS web pages.
Good luck to everyone.
 
Thanks for sharing
