Hi everyone,
Iheard takes longer to get I485 approved if you are from IL as comapred to OH. Is this true?
 
I don't think it really matters where you apply from. The processing speed varies by each Service Centers (California, Texas, Nebraska, and Vermont), but it most likely has nothing to do with the state. Even if your I-485 is at the local USCIS center, the adjudication speed is again, up to each individual center and not by the state.
 
One of the reasons could be that people in Ohio got fingerprinted a long time after filing the 485 petitions (typically 9-10 months after based on anectodal evidence from friends). This means that their FP's expire a lot later and so they don't have to go for second FP. People in other states typically go their first FP notices within 6 months and so most of them have their FP's expired since the current adjudication is taking significantly longer than 15 months. So they have to wait for RFE as well as 2nd FP.
 
It is not always true, I had my finger prints with in 4 months period of time after filing the I-485.

Thanks
 
No..
Me and MY friend filed together.
she got FP in 2 months and I am still waiting (8 months)..

I think first FP notice come from SC, not from state. Right?
 
Thanks People
I appreciate your replies. I have been following this forum for a while for Green Card. What does PD, RD, ND stand for?
Which date should we look at to see the current processing for NSC cases on this website?
 
chicago_gc -

PD = Priority Date - that is the date that your Labor application was received by the State Employment Agency. But if you are filing under EB1 category or categories that do not require labor certification, I believe it is the date you filed for I-140 with USCIS

RD = "receipt date": that is the date in which USCIS received your I-485 application

ND = "notice date:: from this forum, I have seen two different ways in which this date is interpreted - some refer to the "notice date" box in the Notice of Action from USCIS and some refer the receipt date in which they physically received the Notice of Action from USCIS

When you check your status online, use your receipt date as the start of day counter.
