Your PD is very early, and even if EB2 has retro, I don't think you'll be affected.yvesliu said:Does not look that good anymore.

However, GC approval is so unpredictable, especially after introducing the stupid name check. So don't set your expectation too high. My 485 RD is Feb 2003, but stuck in name check for 22 months.
Good luck.

edealfan said:Wait for a month or two before you call USCIS. Even if your application is stuck under "FBI name check" there is nothing you can do as the current published I-485 processing dates for NSC are toward the end of 2003. Not everyone is stuck under Name check process. Hopefully, you will get your approval in a couple of months. Relax and keep your fingers crossed
yvesliu said:the processing date is end of 2003. Which date does that refer to? Priority date? Receive date or Notice date?
Also, you status looks like 485's LUD has been changing. Mine stayed there since Sep 2004 when my EAD was approved.
edealfan said:yvesliu,
I was referring to the processing dates published at
https://egov.immigration.gov/cris/jsps/Processtimes.jsp?SeviceCenter=Nebraska
These processing dates normally refer to Priority Dates. From what I have read, your priority date must be listed either on your I-140 receipt notice or approval notice. My I-140 LUD changed because of my I-485 applications were sent afterwards (Semi-Concurrent). I believe I have to wait at least a year or maybe two years (if I am unlucky) before I can see my I-485 approval.
Also, it looks like LUD is very reliable based on several experiences here. Many people got their approvals and plastic cards without any change in their LUDs. That being said, if there is an LUD change, it means that an officer touched your application for some reason.
