My I-485 receipt shows RD is 09/12/2002 & ND is 10/18/02
My LIN number LIN030135XXXX and I just realized that it number shows that I filed for Adjustment status only in a year 2003
Checking every day approvals by rupnet.com I am able to see that few people behind me already have an approvals or at least a lot of people in my case already received a 2-d FP
I am almost crossing 21 month of waiting period, applied for a 3-d EAD on 05/22/04 and don't have a 2-d FP or RFE yet

My lower's answer is:
The government's fiscal year starts on 10/1. Given the date of the notice, they probably assigned you a receipt number after the start of the new fiscal year. It should have no substantive bearing on the timing of your case. I see no reason to believe that your case is behind in any way.

Thanks

Your attorney is right. From USCIS stand, what matters is the date they are currently processing (2/1/2003), and the timing provided to you on your I485 receipt, is an estimate, and not an accurate time.

best,
