Suggestion: USE the 1st 5 digit of EAC # instead of RD/ND

A lot of approvals these couple of weeks which is definitely a good sign.

My suggestion here is that we use the FIRST 5 DIGITS of the EAC # instead of RD/ND to track I-485 cases. My reasoning is as follows:

1. Most of the people remember their EAC# since the auto-answering system requires it. But on the other hand, not all people remember their RD/ND
by DATE, they often refer their RD/ND with something like 05/99.

2. To refer RD/ND by month causes loss of accuracy and sometimes may cause false impression. Because if you see 05/99, you don\'t really know it is 05/01/99 or 05/31/99 and it is a more significant difference than the one between 05/25/99 and 06/03/99.

So, my suggestion is to use EAC# (maybe and RD/DN) when you talk about your case so that all people who see your post will know exactly how far (in terms of INS working days) his/her case is from yours.

For those of you who are interested, my status is:
EAC#99-178, RD 04/2?/99, ND 05/2?/99, FP 03/?9/99, WAITING
