AC-21 and Reciept Date

[cool_desi_gc]

I know we had lot of discussions about Notice date and reciept date.I was planning to invoking AC-21 after 180 days.My application reached USCIS on Jul 18th.I assume this is when the 180 days count down starts.My notice date is Sept 18th.(Checks cashed).My online status for my 485 is as follows

"On September 18, 2007, we received this I485 APPLICATION TO REGISTER PERMANENT RESIDENCE OR TO ADJUST STATUS, and mailed you a notice describing how we will process your case.Blah blah"

When they recieved, do they mean it is the reciept date.My 180 days ends on Jan 18th 2008.

I am confused now.Does the 180 count down start from Jul 18th or Sept 18th ? I always thought it started from the date of reciept(The date it was recieved in thier mailroom).Can someone confirm ?

The relevant date is the one on which USCIS recognized it was received. That might be a day or two after Fedex/UPS/Post Office physically delivered it.

Do you have the I-485 receipt notice in your hand? You should see "received date" and "notice date". The date to use for counting 180 days is the "received date".

Don't pay attention to the date shown on the web site. That is the date they punched it into the computer, not the date they received it or realized it was received.
