I received the card approved email this morning and finally ended the long journey of the green card application!
Here is the detail about my case, which may be little bit helpful for you.
2004, June 2nd, file the non-RIR labor certificate by the lawyer
2006,October, file the PERM since the LC case was stucked in backblok center for 2.5 yr without any news.
2007, January 17. the perm was approved with the carryover PD from LC case ( 06/02/2004)
2007 March 28, filed the I485/I140 together. ( at that time, my PD is current)
2007 April, did the finger print and received the EAD card
2007 October, I140 was approved
2008 Feburary, change job
2008 March, filed the second EAD application and did the second finger print
2008, August, our PD was current and request action to process our I485
2008, September, the VB regressed again and we got the notice for another 6 monthes of processing our I485 case from USCIS
2009, January, the VB forwared to 2004, July and our PD got current again
2009 Juanary, visited state senator for help of our I485 cases.
2009, March, got email from Senator office that our background check was not completed yet and the I485 was still pending.
2009, May, planned to do the WOM and visited the local office for infopass. was told that both my husnand's and my background check were incompleted yet.
2009 may, worked on collecting documents and materials for WOM.
2009 May, sent letter to FBI, first lady and USCIS for the background check the processing the case of I485
2009 June 10 , Taxes center called the lawyer to get my w2, paycheck record and current employment verification
2009 June 15, sent back the request documents to the lawyer.
2009 June 16, the Lawyer fax the request document to TAXES center,
2009 June 17. Received the email and online case update that my I485 is approved and card ordered.
2009 June 16, my third EAD card was approved and became no-use now.
We think that taking action to contact, senator, first laday, FBI and writing letter to USCIS do helped things out in the past couple of months.
Although all of my family suffered the long distance seperation for 3 yrs and finally, we made it. During the 5yrs, my husnad got his ph.D degree and found a good job with H1B. We worked very hard and try to enjoy the life without worrying about the green card application too much. Next month, we will have second baby and I probably may think about staying at home for a while since my grean card is there just in time.
May everybody getting your GC soon!
