One of Two things happened. Either we just finally made it through attrition, or all of the letters that we sent to our Senators and District Representatives finally paid off. I personally think the letters paid off. Anyways, It feels so good not to be under their thumbs.

Thanks to all who were patient while we waited through this ordeal. It was a very trying 3+ years!

REMEMBER...... If you haven't waited at least 1 year, then your whining just pisses the rest of us off. Get in line, Their are a lot of folks in front of you!

Filed for I-485 AOS 7-12-04

File went to FBI for Name Check on 10-08-2004

AOS interview 2-16-2006

Told that AOS approved "Pending Name Check"

Refiled for EAD 12-12-2006

EAD approved 3-04-2007

I-131-AP filed 2-18-2007

I have written both Senators of my state with no luck.

I have written my district congressman with no luck.

They all say it is out of their hands.

I even wrote GW Bush a letter asking for help , but got no reply.
