One hour ago I got I-485 approval notice via e-mail for me and my family. I'm a real old timer no matter PD or RD. I think very few people on this forum can beat me.
Here is my detail.
EB3, RIR, own labor
PD: 11/13/2001, labor approved 11/2004
Filed 140 & 485 concurently in 11/2004
140 approved 06/2005
Case transferred from CSC to NSC
NC got stuck for 3.3 years, got cleared 03/25/2008
3 FPs in 2004, 2005, and 2007
485 approved today 5/5/2008, NSC
Current Status: Notice mailed welcoming the new permanent resident.
This long march with 6.6 years finally ends up with a happy result. I just got excited for one minute only honestly. Hope my physical green card won't take that long to receive. In the approval notice it says it will take 60 days to receive the card.
Good luck to everyone, especially the old timers.
