Why there is a wide difference in processing dates of INS Center and local center? Like mine is Newark, New Jersey local center. Dates of processing of I485 are mentioned as follows.

Vermont INS Center :10/22/2003
Newark, NJ center :05/03/2004
Current Priority Date :03/01/2002

My Priority date as per approved I140 is 11/15/2001, I485 Notice Date is 09/01/2004. If the priority date is considered my case should be taken up for processing. But I haven't received FPs so far.
Can anyone/attorneys shed some light on the meaning of different dates mentioned above.
Thanks in advance..
 
Disregard the local center times

The times listed for local centers are usually for family-based 485 applications - even if your case is transferred, the dates published for the local centers don't reflect employment-based applications at all.
 
It is still very early for your case. Priority Date doesn't say much about when you will be processed. Since your notice date is 09/01/2004, you could wait up to 6 month until you get finger print notice.

Take it easy.

Anyway, Vermont INS Center :10/22/2003 is the date you should be taking close attention to. If this date passes your Notice Date, you should get approval already or very close to get it.
