Celebrations & Thanks

My wife's status still shows RFERR. So, not sure if its something to worry about ...

Sometimes opportunity comes in disguise!! Just saying ...

Many congratulations la_2002_ch. Hopefully wife's will follow in a day or two max.

I got my CPO mail today about hour and a half ago, but its only for me. My wife's status still shows RFERR. So, not sure if its something to worry about or its just delayed.

Thanks to all Gurus and everyone else. Have been following this forum since its inception and can't recall a day when I didn't check it.

Don't know if I am happy or relieved or worried why wife's status didn't change. I just don't feel any different (I used to think I will scream with joy when it happens).

So finally 9.5 years after entering US on H1-B and 5 years 11 months after filing for PERM , I am now a Permanent Resident.

Thanks everyone and good luck to the people still waiting. Hang in there....

My details are in the signature below. Let me know if anyone wants to find anything else.

Congratulations la_2002_ch .. Enjoy !

Apparently Q's wife doesn't check the forum ... OR may be Q's getting ready to spend the night outside the house on the street !!

[qesehmk]

She is in India! So I am already a "lavaris".

Congratulations man! Don't worry about wife's status. I am sure it will change.

It's been more than 14 years for me since I arrived. Consider yourself lucky

Good to see approvals coming in. I am hoping for some magic this week for myself.

So I've heard these terms thrown around for post CPO events/docs - Welcome notice, welcome packet, Approval notice, tracking #s. Is there a sequence to these? Are the notices similar to I797s?

I guess I can wait and find out but today is a slow day at work with most of the bosses already gone to the damn hamptons for the weekend.

[dreamer]

Thank you!! Its been some time, my journey to US started in 2002 with masters, took some time to apply for GC but in the end as u mentioned all is well

Guys, got CPO mails Saturday morning. After 14 years in the US, hopefully this chapter is closed.

Details:

PD: 15 Dec 2008
RD: 8 Jan, 2012
RFER: 9 July, 2014
Officer: XM 0025
CPO e-mail: Aug 30, 2014
Senator inquiry initiated Aug 8 (no response till Aug 29 from TSC; they were planning to re-inquire today)
InfoPass: Aug 12 (was told my case assigned to officer on July 31)

Thanks to this excellent forum for providing high quality analysis and reliable info over the years...

I still expect USCIS to deliver my wife's card to the wrong address, as they have done with 2 RFEs (despite the correct address with LI/L2), but that is a smaller anxiety to getting approved.

Good luck to all here, and I am sure most to all current in August will get approved this year!
