Hi Everyone,

I was recommended this forum and I needed some clarification on the abbreviations that were being used (AD, PD, RFE, etc). Could someone please enlighten me? I've recently responded to the fingerprinting request and have received my EAD and Advance Parole documents. The BCIS website says that the current processing times are between 570-600 days! Does it really take this long, or are people getting their greencards sooner than that??

Thanks for any info!

Forgot to mention that I'm an Indian citizen, but my country of birth is Germany. Does this make any difference??

AP = advance parole
RFE = request for evidence
LUD = last updated date, seen if you register on the uscis site and enter in your case numbers. They will email you if anything changes on your cases.
FP = fingerprint
RD = receive date
ND = notice date
AD = approval date
PD = priority date
