[my_immi]

Hi All,

Got the green cards for myself and my spouse.

Status changed on 3rd May and I was expecting the cards to arrive by the end of this month. But to my surprise got the cards on 9th May. Wow that's fast...

My sincere thanks to all of you on this forum and I am thankful to Murthy law firm for hosting such a helpful forum.

A few details about my case if that helps anyone here:

PD: 10th May 2006

Catagory: EB2 India

I140 approved Sep 2006

I485 filed during July 2007 fiasco.

Finger printing done only once at the time of I485 filing.

No RFE.

Changed job once and filed AC21.

Wish you all the best!!!

Best Regards.

"I485 filed during July 2007 fiasco"

First of all 'GOOD FOR YOU". Secondly it was not a fiasco as you put it.

In English the word fiasco means an absolute, abject or utterly humiliating failure. The Intention of the State Department was to prevent visa loss due to USCIS lethargy.

pontevecchio,

I apologize for using a wrong word "fiasco" to describe the July 2007 I485 filing situation. I certainly did not mean "complete failure".

Best Regards,
