Thank God! Finally my journey of green card has come to an end. It was amazing to see the blue symbol & to read "On February 13, 2012, we ordered production of your new card".

I would like to thank Q, Spec, Veni, Teddy, Leo, Nishant & all the other wonderful people of this forum. Although I was not much of a contributor but always felt part of this great community intitated by Q. Thanks for that.

It's been more than 10 years since I have gone back to India & it will be wonderful to see my family back home.

Leo & Teddy,

Don't worry. You will greened pretty soon just like that. I can understand what you are going through.

Thanks again!

Since you already gave your most recent I-94, don't worry about the old ones. Very few people keep copies of old I-94 since it is taken by the Airlines when you leave the country. Only the current I-94 is the mandatory initial evidence.

About other parts of your RFE, did you not include a BC or NABC with your 485? For the third part, you need to provide the copy of the following: I-20 that includes OPT info, copy of the OPT EAD Approval Notice and copy of the actual EAD Card (front and back).

Also - how much time have they given you for responding to the RFE?

I am thinking of early walk in for one simple reason. It seems that the FP Appointment is super serious and if you miss that appointment then that is considered as abandonment of 485 petition. Now, all kinds of shit many happen on the day of the appointment (snow, blizzard, traffic, illness, accident, whatever) and I would rather get it done ahead of time. I wonder whether the ASC people would be more amenable to early walk-in if one calls them before and asks them whether one can come by for an early walk-in. If they are super busy then I am sure they will decline but will otherwise be okay with it - makes no difference to them.

Early walk in definitely has its advantages.

I know it feels frustrating, everyone is human, to see someone 4-5 month later PD get approved, while we are sitting waiting, but nothing can be done about it.

Just my opinion RMS. no one knows the real truth!

:) cool!

congratulations. 10 years is a long time, enjoy your trip to India.

I just tried to fish around with my lawyer, dropped in an email saying how this wait is so anxious etc, hoping he might enlighten me on some news or some tit bit he has, he just replied with one word: OK.

:D

If you have not gone back in 10 years, I would advice for you to be ready for anything as to how life has changed there :) Howmuch ever you prepare yourself, it will fall short of what you witness.

Just to clarify on this link, it says lost/stolen i.e. you will get the current I-94 only and it doesn't say anything about previous records.

Did you notice $330 filing fee? That's too much...

For $40 you get New Indian Passport :D

I second that - you are in for a big shock if you are going to India after 10 years. Even two years' gap (which is my usual schedule) seems to be too much as far as changes in everything in India is concerned.

Just confirming - when you travel on AP, you would necessarily have to go through Secondary Inspection - is that right? Just the Immigration Counter is not enough? Also I imagine one gets in the non-immigrant line and not the Citizen/Resident-Alien line at the airport - right?

this has been mine and my friends' experience who have kids, at the LAX airport. Because of the kid being US citizen, they ask us to go in the US citizen line, which can be considerably shorter than the non immigrant line.

Congrats Familyguy. This confirms that time to GC is determined mostly by PD rather than when one files 485.

Essenel - I can understand the pain of waiting.

Friends,

I just want to let you know that, one of my friend Received I485 approval today from TSC and His processing date is Dec 2007. This approval processing really frustrating , Don't know how they are approving . I checked the Numbers randomly and Many of them got approved before my Number and after my receipt Number.

I did not expect things to move this fast... so, even if it gets delayed - no worries. In any case, I appreciate your wishes - thankyou.

You and your wife are true winners. When I started my career working in embedded systems was always a dream, never got the right break. Wishig your wife the best of health and hope your GC dreams come true soon.
