After almost 2 years waiting, finally we are there.
09//2005 concurrently filed I-140/I-485 at VSC (EB1b)
01/2006 I-140 was approved (no RFE)
11/2005 first FP (all were code3)
About 03/2006 (can’t remember exactly) got a RFE for daughter’s 485 (ask for X-ray result because she didn’t do TB test: the doctor said she didn’t need to do that)
Nothing happened since then.
03/2007 transfer to TSC
05/2007 second FP (LG’s & mine were code1, our daughter’s was code3)
02/2007 wrote letters to the First Lady and the Director of FBI
03/2007 received a letter from First Lady’s office
04/2007 received a letter from FBI: LG’s NC was cleared in Nov 2005. My document was transferred from USCIS to FBI on Apr X, 2007 and was cleared on the same day. Our daughter’s was transferred several days later than mine and was cleared on the same day.
Never heard anything from the director of FBI
Called 1-800 number of USCIS in May and received a letter from USCIS told still pending.
Last update of my case was on Jul 11, the other two didn’t get any update since 2nd FP.
07/31/2007 I-485 approved: Card production ordered for LG & me, requesting additional evidence for our daughter (don’t know why and for what, but not worry too much).
08/01/2007 Approved notice mailed.
體會：
1． 不必過於著急，綠卡早晚都能夠拿到，看你的運氣程度。越早遞交越好，即使沒打算留下來，有條件也申請，因為情況也許會發生變化，就多了些選擇。
2． 很多人擔心姓名和背景調查，但是我們的NC都是FBI從移民局拿到資料後當天就給通過了，似乎並不是想象中的複雜。
3． 給第一夫人寫信還是有幫助的，已經回信感謝，希望能夠有更多的後來人獲益。有人也給議員寫信。我想寫信總沒害處吧，運氣好的話可能就會得到幫助。感謝spagetti，你的帖：“sample letter to the first lady about name check“給我幫助很大。雖然是根據自己的情況自己寫的信，但是根據給出的樣板寫就容易多了，不用去構思結構了。感謝。鏈接：http://web.wenxuecity.com/BBSView.php?SubID=immigration&MsgID=258680
4． 給USCIS掛電話似乎沒用（我的情況是如此）。
5． 感謝我的一位非常要好的朋友，從還沒來到這個國家，我就一直得到她的無私幫助，是她的鼓勵，我才能趕在那個黑十月前遞交了申請。
6． 感謝這個版上的許多能人，尤其是小白兔，能長期不厭其煩地給大家排憂解惑，真是難得。也提醒新人，有問題時先在版裏搜索，找不到再問。
7． 感謝版裏的各位兄弟姐妹，心情鬱悶時，心裏沒著落時，來這裏看看，感覺一條船上坐著許多的兄弟姐妹，就感覺心裏踏實些。
最後，祝大家都能夠早日拿到綠卡，得到自由。
