********************************
Two I-140 (NIW and EBA1- extraordinary ability) were filed in September 2005 and got approved within 1 month.

I-485 was filed concurrently with NIW-based I140, as I thought my NIW-based would have much higher chance to get approved than EBA1-based.

All DIY.


Then long waiting time because the name check delay.

Wrote numerous letters to senators (two states, Cardin office in Maryland helped a lot), first lady, and congressmen. Got various ridiculous responses and excuses from USCIS.

In responses in May, August, they said everything was ready and I would get response in 30 days. But nothing happened.

Then I thought they used up all 2008 quota and no quota available for me. I had to wait for 2009 quota. USCIS seemed to do not work much in Oct. and Nov.

I wrote two letters to USCIS to request to re-attach my I-485 to my approved EBA1-based I-140. I do not know if they did that. So no idea which one the I-485 was finally approved, NIW or EBA1 ?
