I-485 experience FYI

[apache]

I wanted to post my I-485 experience:
PD: 7/1/1999
Category: EB2-India
I-485 receipt notice: 10/16/2000, CSC
Fingerprint: 1/12/2001
I-485 approval: 2/13/2001

So the good news is, as many said before me, there is light at the end of the tunnel. Hang in there! The not so good news is, my derivative spouse's FP appointment notice was received only on 2/22/2001 after three inquiries to INS. Obviously the I-485 approval for spouse will also be delayed.

In any case, I am happy, for now. Thanks to this discussion board and the users for posting valuable information. You all really helped!

where is your 140 approved CSC or VSC?

Hi Apache,
