Funny, today my and my wife's permanent resident cards arrived,
without any hint of I-140 approval. Hours later I received an e-mail
from USCIS saying that my I-140 had been approved. So, I got the
green card first, and while I was still having some faint doubts
(I know most of you had said don't worry, but I had some bad
taste in my mouth from past experience) about the case, since
my I-140 was still not approved, I received the e-mail from USCIS
my I-140 was also approved
) For the record, I'll repeat all my dates,
so that while trying to interpret the LUDs, everybody have another
data point. Well, probably it all means that LUDs don't mean a thing:
7/27/2005 I-140/I-485 ND
7/28/2005 I-140/I-485 LUD (applications received)
11/10/2005 I-765(spouse only) ND
12/7/2005 FP for I-765
12/11/2005 I-765 LUD (actually many LUDs from 11/10 to 12/11)
1/13/2006 I-485s LUD (RFE requested)
1/25/2006 FP for I-485s
a few more LUDs on I-485s related to FP which I don't remember the dates
2/7/2006 I-485 LUD (RFE response received)
2/10/2006 Interim EAD card
2/14/2006 I-765 LUD (case approved, card ordered)
2/21/2006 Actual EAD received
2/21/2006 I-485 LUD (Case approved, card ordered ?? Notice that no I-140 LUD yet)
2/22/2006 I-140/I485 LUD (no message change)
2/24/2006 I-485 LUDs (Approval notice mailed)
2/25/2006 I-140/I-485 LUDs (no message change)
2/27/2006 Green cards received in the mail
2/27/2006 I-140/I-485 LUDs (All 3 cases are approved, notices mailed.)
Good luck to everybody.
