EB1C India (PD March 2017) - End of the journey!!
Hi everyone,

After 3.5 years of patiently waiting, numerous ups and downs, me and my wife finally got our green cards :) Here is what our timeline looks like:

03/13/2017: Filed I-140 and I-485 concurrently along with I-765/I-131.
03/27/2017: All applications were received by USCIS Nebraska office.
05/14/2018: Received message for I-140 - 'We approved your Form I-140, Immigrant Petition for Alien Worker'.
06/08/2018: Received message for I-485 - 'Case Was Transferred And A New Office Has Jurisdiction' (India category had retrogressed during this period).
11/19/2018: Received notification for interview at local office for December 5th 2018.
12/04/2018: Received call from USCIS that my interview has been cancelled due to a government holiday on that day and rescheduled to January 14th 2019.
01/14/2019: Interview at Chicago USCIS office, took all documents including copies as suggested by this forum and my lawyer (don't want to go through it as you can find plenty of threads on the same). Officer took me and my wife to his office, asked some basic questions to me such as my designation at my company, my duties, when did I last travel and reenter the country (submitted i94 copy to him) and where I currently stay. Asked me wife how long she has known me for, when did we get married and if she was currently working or not. After that, we had some small chit chat and he was kind enough to lead us out to the exit. Overall, both me and wife felt good about the interview.
04/17/2019: Received message for I-485 - 'Case Was Transferred And A New Office Has Jurisdiction'.
06/07/2019:- Received message for I-485 - 'Case Was Transferred And A New Office Has Jurisdiction'.
07/07/2020: Received message for I-485 - 'We approved your Form I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status'.
07/07/2020: Received message for I-485 - 'We ordered your new card.'
07/13/2020: Received I-485 Approval Notice in hand.
07/28/2020: Received message for I-485 - 'Card Was Mailed To Me'.
07/30/2020: Received card in hand.

As you can tell, a few twist and turns but it all turned out well in the end. You've likely head this many times, but remember to stay patient and positive throughout this entire process. Fingers crossed everything works out well for the rest of you waiting on your GCs, best of luck!
