I am starting this thread to track SEPtember 2005 cases.


EB2 NIW
I140 RD 9/2/05, ND 9/6/05; LUD 9/17, 9/19/05
I485 RD 9/2/05, ND 9/6/05; LUD 9/17, 9/19/05
I131 RD 9/2/05, ND 9/6/05; LUD 9/17, 9/19/05

My attorney mailed the I-140,I-485,I-765 and I-130 applications yesterday(September 22nd). I am not sure what RD and ND mean. Can someone educate me here??

RD = Received Date; it is the date when USCIS received your application
ND = Notice Date; it is the date when they actually issue the notice confirming that they received the application. Once you receive the notice it will be clearly states what is the notice date. Most of the times ND is ~week after RD.

RD is specially important now due to retrogression. Everybody who manages to get RD of September gets the AOS status.

ND is important when you inquire about the status of the application. You can only make an inquiry on a pending application if the notice date is 30 days past the date listed for the application on the latest JIT report.

Hope this helps!

Thanks Magdalena. That was informative. I guess I should have the RD dates sometime this week. Will update the thread once I have them.
