Congratulations....

This is great news... Especially since I had my 485 denied (INS thought I still had my 10 yr. old greencard which I turned in for an F1 visa - My motion to reopen was accpeted and processing resumed on Nov.10)

Can you tell me once INS approved u'r motion to reappeal i.e. once u'r case was in processing again how long did it take?

Enjoy the results of a long wait !!
 
Sorry for the confusion.. the motion to reopen was for my latest AP. I think that triggered the RFE and subsequent approval of my I485.
 
complex!!!

Congrats - a long wait indeed accompanied with a lot of frustration and incompetency on the part of your lawyer.

All the best for the future.
