My experience with LUDs

I can see that many of you put a lot of emphasis on LUDs. I do too, since with the information vacuum, it provides at least something to check on every day. But my recent experience has caused me to raise some serious doubts on LUDS.

My father filed for his N400 (citizenship) back in May of 2006. Since then, he had his fingerprinting done twice, but his LUD never changed. Just when the lack of activity in the online status was becoming a matter of huge concern, he received his interview notice last week. His citizenship interview and oath is set for next month. When I looked at his online status, it still shows no changes at all (LUD is still May 2006).

So the bad news is that online status, like the "current processing times", could be a lot of bull in some cases. The good news is that just because your LUD hasn't changed doesn't mean that you should not expect your 485 approval in the mail later today. The bottom-line is that we are all playing with uncertainities.
 
Pardon my ignorance, but what does LUD stand for? I have seen that acronym used a lot in various posts on this message board, but never quite understood what it stood for.

Thanks a lot!
