Please share more info on what steps you undertook to utilize your wife's PD. There are a few members of IV who have two streams (husband and wife) of approved 140s but one set of 485s applied. This info will be beneficial to the community if we can finally add it to the IV wiki.

congrats..
QUOTE=EkAurAaya;1129101]Got the approval notice today "Welcome to the United States of America" - ironically i have been in this country for a decade now! finally the "welcome" It has been a very long journey!!! and a very frustrating one for the last few years... but the feeling that I now get is really liberating... first thing I did was thanked God for ending the seemingly endless wait that me and my wife (she didn't care as much) were in. I'm already thinking of the things I want to do after this new found liberation... it includes showing the middle finger to those who have taken undue advantage of my status and i'm not taking it anymore... I'll be a new person starting Monday! Just so there is no confusion... my PD was Feb 2003 EB3 but my wife's PD was EB2 April 2004... we got our freedom through her application. If anyone needs more info on how/what/when - i can share that (it had its up's and downs - mainly downs, but all's well that ends well)! Lastly as a token of my real support to the cause of IV I will be donating a small amount. I have donated in the past... I have participated in conversations in the past... I was not so active on other fronts but I truly believe in this organizations effort to help the community. And God willing each one of you will get this freedom soon! God Bless![/quote] |

Thank you guys for the good wishes
Here is what we learned from my case, please feel wordsmith it and put it on wiki - Some History: My PD - Feb 2003 EB3 (140 was marked for CP) May 2007: EB3 dates move to May 2003 - my lawyer prepared for June 1st filing of 485 June 2007: My wife's PD of April 2004 EB2 (140 was marked for AOS) becomes current - her lawyer starts preparing to file for 485. We discussed the situation with our lawyers (but we were sure we would go with what my lawyer advices, she always gave good advice - both the law firms are very reputed and well known) My Lawyers advice: Do not file both 485's at the same time, if the files get assigned with different alien #'s it will be very difficult to get the cases merged. Files could land up in two different physical locations etc... basically huge possibility of delays Her Lawyers advice: We have not come across such situation, we think we should file anyways. Our decision: File my set of 485 as we could do that on 1st June itself and apply for EAD for some relief! and not wait for July 1st (at that time we thought with was the best - better file what's current) Interim efforts: Again discussed the situation with my lawyer as things were not moving, we discussed possibility of changing my wife's AOS application to CP - since dates became unavailable, we though we could probably capitalize on switching to CP with the hope that the files will get transferred to India, and as soon as visa #s are available we will get assigned one and called for the interview. So we filed i824 - change request on exiting application, the request was pending all this while, we made several service requests in between. Basically it was a wasted effort, seems like USCIS officers didn't know what to do with the request. Sept 2009: My wife's PD became current, we again prepared for filing 485 (took medical again etc). Checked with my lawyer what needs to be done... her advice (this time both lawyers had the same advice), file 485 MAKE SURE they use the same Alien # that we got from my application. Files on Sept 1st > Finger Printing 1st week Oct > my set of 485 files moved from Nebraska to Texas early November > 2nd set of 485's approved late November > 1st set of 485's denied based on 2nd set approval Hope this helps! |
