LUD Change but No Message change!
First of, I would like to congratulate EB3485Aug03NSC & vvennam for the approvals. Wish you goodluck!
The reason I wanted to post a reply is that both of your (EB3485Aug03NSC & vvennam) PD's are around my PD date and RD after mine.
My LUD never changed since filing of application. All of a sudden, my LUD changed on 03/24/2005 with no update to the message.
My reasoning is that USCIS (refer: backlog elimination update - 03/16/05) sorts EB3 application or any other application affected by retrogression by PD and sorts again by RD to ensure earlier installed policy of First-in-First-out.
So, having said that, since my PD is around your PDs and RD is before your RD's, could the LUD change be an approval with no update to message? Have you guys heard such things happen before?
One of my friend recently (feb 05) had a similar experience like the message said "RFE received etc" and no updates. My friend learned his approval only through the mail 7days after approval. Still his online message says the same after month and a half.
It would be nice to know the reason for LUD change, so I could be happy. Neverthless, I am at peace!
Thank You.
