Amar, There shouldn\'t be any confusion
Since this process is simple
You mail your 485 application to the service center (VSC).
They stamp the package on the day it is received physically at the service center (This is the RECEIVED DATE).
Depends on the mail load, they will open your package sometime later (anywhere from 1 day - 2 months) and
enter your information into the computer system. Once they enter the info into the computer, they will issue a
notice to this effect saying that your applicaion has been received on so and so date (Recevied Date) and send u
a notice (Notice Date, it is the date of the computer entry of your applicaion and the notice generation)
There is some argument here among the people about the way VSC prioritize the processing. Is it by ND or RD?
But time has prooven and I stronly believe that they prioritize by the Received Date RD.
So that makes you a MAY RD Filer. Now VSC officially says that they are processing Apr 01 cases, where as we see
lot of July RD case\'s approval too. Thats why I said, you should have gotten the approval a while ago when the first
May approval appeared on this forum.
Call VSC @ 802 527 4913, and check to see if everything is ok with your app (like FP results, 140 etc)
