Congrats bieber. As Spec said - it's good to see old timers finally getting GCs. Wish you the very best with this FREEDOM.

Viz - waiting for your good news.

I received CPO email

Congratulations Bieber. It is indeed very heartening to see folks who have been around for a while finishing their journey. Enjoy the freedom of being on the other side - and do drop by once in a while.

Congrats bieber.

[bieber]

Thank you all

Yes, I will keep visiting the forum. I don't think I will add anything new other than what many of you already are aware of, but I made it a habit to check the site at least once a day for last 4 years.

I came to this country in Jan 2001, it took 14 long years to finally get approved, can't imagine going through all the pain and stress without this discussion board. The best part is experts here provided clarity with only facts and available information. I may not have expressed enough but what Q started is nothing short of a phenomenon. I see many folks (friends, relatives, friends friends) with 90% understanding of when can they expect what. For me, it started when Q and Teddy participiated in EB2-3 thread on other site, I never posted there but came here and started actively with all of you.

also want to share my opinion on Spec, brother you amaze me with your clarity, understanding of data, expression, illustration, communication. You are true inspiration for a person like me to look inward and improve. I wish I can show you how much you taught me.

Kanmani, I remember your first posts here, you became an expert on these matters. really very proud of you, hope your immigration and personal desires become true very soon

I guess I'm just being too emotional, but I want to be here today in this forum to share my feelings

Thanks to all my sisters and brothers

[Spectator]

bieber,

I can imagine it is a pretty emotional day. Enjoy it and share it with the family (if you have one here).

Thanks for your kind words. They actually mean more to me than I can express.

Your other comments are absolutely spot on.

All the very best for what your new situation brings to you in the future.

[Kanmani]

Bieber, I cherish the comfort you gave me as a beginner, without that, I would have left. Thank you so much.

Emotions apart, where is the party tonight ?

[bieber]

Thanks Spec, I tried to tell my 2yr old toddler what this means to me, he went back to duck and bear in no time

[bieber]

Kanmani

thank you, not decided on party yet

[qesehmk]

I see many folks (friends, relatives, friends friends) with 90% understanding of when can they expect what.

Bieber - I am glad you say that. That pretty much sums up the mission of this blog.

This blog can't give GC to anybody nor we have dabbled into advocacy. We are focused on empowerment through good information. With good information people can make wise decision about their life and career!

p.s. - Other than a lot of people already mentioned above - Veni and Nishant are other two that were one of our very first Gurus! It is not an easy task to mention all Gurus but I thought I will at least mention those two. Perhaps we can create a "Guru Roaster" that speaks about all Gurus/Key Contributors that have been on the forum.

[imdeng]

I remember the early days - Q, Spec, Teddy, Veni, Nishant - some group!

Gurus and Key Contributors are two different things - because the Guru designation is just because of post count. One can be a Guru in name without approaching the heights of the group above (sheepishly looks in the mirror :-). Here is a list of all the "nominal" Gurus: http://www.qesehmk.org/forums/member...rt=posts&pp=30 - there are 17 users with the designation Guru.

Guys,
I get conflicting information from USCIS web-site. I first got an SMS stating that my card-production is now in place. Now, it has moved back to "Decision". I received RFE and responded to RFE on 7/8th.

Did this sequence of change of status happen to anybody else?

Thanks,
Vikram

Thank you, pdfeb09. And thanks to everyone in this forum. Been a member here since it was started in 2010, it's been amazing the kind of insights you get here.

I owe so much to Q, Spec, Teddy, Kanmani, Vedu and others for my peace of mind during these crazy 6 yrs.

Thank you all once again for the great community that you have here.

Vikram, Congratulations!

[PD2008AUG25]

I got my CPO on Friday, 1st August evening.

I thank all gurus for their help and guidance over the years.

Looks like something did change at TSC from 1st August. 6 approvals on Saturday. That's best they have done in last month.

Best of luck to all who are waiting and hope more TSCians like Viz and Sports get their approvals soon.
