Approval of AOS.

Hello all,

I am trying this forum since I did not get any replies in another one.

I am on H1-B. I have applied for 140 & 485. I did not apply simultaneously. There are marriage issues that everyone is aware of and I wanted to find out when my 485 is likely to be approved. I read a few mails in this forum and am not able to comprehend a lot of acronyms.

1. What is a PD? How can I find out mine?
2. What is RD? How can I find out mine?
3. What is ND? How can I find out mine?
4. Approval of 140 and timing should not affect marriage plans at all correct.
5. What all factors affect when my AOS gets approved? service center, RD?? Is there anything else?

I believe I filed for AOS at the Nebraska service center in aug 2004. I was looking at processing times and currently it seems to be july 2002. Is this correct?

Can I assume that it will take ~2 years for my GC to get approved. I have heard that the processing dates went ahead by 6 months in one day at the service center. Is this true?

I want to get a fair idea so that I dont get trapped with my AOS getting approved before marriage.

Thank you all in advance for your responses.
 
lucky,

1. Your PD (priority date) is the date you applied for labor (or in E1 category your 140)
2. The RD is the receipt date for the items USCIS recd. It is the date on the acknowledgement sent by USCIS
