Hi Folks
I'll be filing my 140/485/131/765 this week. Can you please let me know what information you want me to put on the tracker - i.e. what AP/RD/LUD mean etc.
Thanks

Welcome aboard TempusFugit,
Acronym's deciphered...
AP: Advanced Parole (Travel document)
RD: Receipt Date (Date when the good folks at the USCIS receive your applications)
ND: Notice Date (Date when they issue you some written correspondence about your case(s), such as filing receipts)
AD: Approve Date (The most wonderous of them all; the date when you applications are approved)
LUD: Last Update Date (The date when someone at the USCIS touches your case for some processing and this triggers a LUD in their system...in other words, the date which causes your anticipation to rise). Note, sometimes routine system maintenance causes an LUD change, so don't put too much stock in it.
When you do file your applications and get tracking numbers, you can go to the USCIS website, create a profile for yourself, enter your case numbers and can consequently track them through the lifecycle. You can also sign up for email alerts, that send you email whenever something momentous occurs with your case.
Best
