amitGreen,
No doubt you can believe Murthy.com. Here's an email that I received from them:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Thank you for your eMail. The dates listed on the page you referred to are updated bimonthly on our site. We use the receipt date rather than the notice date. Unfortunately, the Vermont Service Center has not made a lot of progress in processing cases recently due to enhanced security check
requirements, but they are slowly starting to get back to their usual pace.
We appreciate your interest in MurthyDotCom and hope this information is helpful to you.

My email to LOSM:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This email is in regards to an enquiry about the
information at Murthy.com found at the link
http://www.murthy.com/pt_losm.html, where there is
information on LOSM Client Processing times. Under the
APPROVAL NOTICES, can you please confirm whether the
Receipt Date is actually the Receipt Date and not the
Notice Date. I'm particularly interested in the I485s in
Vermont Service Center, they don't seem to have been
updated for quite sometime.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hope that helps.
