Both or our (My wife and mine) 485 Receipt Date is NOV. 8, 2001 and Notice Date is DEC 19, 2001 but our R # is EAC - 02-067-5XXXX. I see a lot of people with early November RD have R# either starts with EAC-02-061 or 062. Please help me clarify, how do INS go by approving applications? By RD or ND or R#? I may be wrong but I have been seeing that INS is going by the order of R #.
