For BC, I had prepared affidavits etc, but lawyer said, don't send unnecessary stuff, only if they ask for something in RFE, we shall send. Similarly 15 days after sending, the doctor called me to provide new sealed envelopes with corrections to the forms, he had screwed up in one place, but lawyer told me to hold onto those and only send if RFE. Lawyer was correct, no RFE, direct approval.

Thanks to all of you my friends. It is a very overwhelming moment.

May you all get it soon and be happy in life.

if anyone has any questions, please feel free to ask me.

Congratulations Nishant...it must be such a relief.

Friends, I am overwhelmed by all your wishes.

I am right now in almost vaccum state, my mind is numb. One distinct memory of my childhood has been my parents talking about how after 4 months, there is danger of money running out and having nothing to pay rent and eat. By God's grace, things went for better after that culminating in this date today.

I am not going anywhere, this forum is in my DNA now, like my friend Teddy, whom I would specially mention here. Him I followed on **, and originally vdlrao got me started. Then I came to Q, and Q, Spec, Teddy and Veni blew me over with the intellectual academic discussion.

I learnt a lot from this forum. Not to judge people, to not share your bias or prejudice and help someone in his own way.

For those who asked for details:
NSC
PD: 11/8/2007
MD: 11/30/2011
RD: 12/1/2011
ND: 12/6/2011
EAD/AP: 1/20/2012
FP: 2/2/2012
485 Approval: 2/21/2012

MS in USA: Yes, 2
Company: full time position in small private 150 employee software company in medical healthcare industry
2001 to 2004 : F1 visa
2004 to Oct 2005: OPT with employer as above
Oct 2005 to 2/20/2012: H1B visa with same employer as above
2/21/2012 onwards: GC obviously

Additionally, my GC was for a Software Technical Lead position. By the time we applied, I was a software Architect, and that's what was on the EVL. Lawyer specified each date period and positions I held, and showed progressive promotions. And a little secret, from 3/1/2012 I am to be the Software Development Manager of a team. The lawyer told me promotions like these are not at all a problem, and same was corroborated by Q to me on this forum.

Nishant Many many congratulations to you and your family. Enjoy this great moment to the fullest.

Double Congratulations Nishant (for GC and for the promotion). Best wishes for your green future life. I for one could not celebrate yet, very busy at work and have been working 14-16 hrs even after the CPO emails, I will party when I am done with my work. I am moving to a different business unit within the organization with a promotion after 03/30/2012, so looking forward to that.

thanks buddy. I know the feeling. Since I got the email, I have been "grabbed" in various meetings and discussions, and it all seems BS to me at least for the moment :D

but my boss is very nice, he understands, he just told me to wrap up things and go home.

We attempted a walk-in (husband travels and I have an India trip booked at the time). Was very much embarrassed by the lady officer. Do it if you have absolutely no choice.

My husband ended up cancelling all meetings that week and I spent a bunch of $ to re-book my ticket. We are going on the scheduled date. Not worth the look from others on the line at all. Its pretty humiliating.

Think about it.. If you just want to get it done, there is no difference for Feb and Jan filers what so ever since it will be at least another 2 months by the time Jan filers records are picked up

I agree with your view

My friend who is based in Florida had a very bad experience. Though he ended up getting his FP done he went through horrible 40-45 minutes of waiting. Be prepared to tell one compelling reason why you can't come on the schedule appointment day.

As per my friend it seems the Supervisor (a Lady) told him that it affects their day to day schedule (they have to squeeze one or two extra appointments just because you walked-in early). The last thing you want is an unhappy person doing your biometrics improperly. You don't want to get an RFE 2-3 months later to redo it.

I've read here that lot of people have walked-in without any issues but as I said its purely based on luck. I know you could get your EAD and perhaps your GC faster but having waited this long the extra 10 days wait is not a big deal - At least personally for me.

Note:- If you are not in a Big City and if the FP office is generally not very Crowded it may be OK - I don't know.

PLEASE USE YOUR JUDGEMENT

CONGRATULATIONS!!!! Enjoy your freedom!!!

Congratulations Nishant. Enjoy the moment, it's the end of something which has ruled your mind for years!

One question about your online status if you don't mind answering. Was your I-485 status in Initial Review until today from when it was picked up (first week of Dec). Or did it change in the past few days or after your FP?

Congrats Nishant!!!!:)
