I have not seen any LUD on my I-485 after 06/07/2006. I will update this forum if I see one.

If you are self-petitioning (NIW) you can change jobs. If you are sponsored you can change after 6 months of pending 485. I do not know much about this but I do know you have to stay doing the same type of job for which your labor certification is approved for at least until you get the GC. Search for 485 portability (I think there is a separate section to the forum).sgms66 said:
And so you 'believe' wrong. Please don't confuse people with something that serious! Of course these are calendar days - not business days.
By the way, here the source reference:

Question 1 : Is it the receipt date or the notice date that governs the counting of the 180-day period under AC21?
Based upon the wording of the law and the INS interpretation of AC21, the 180 days should be counted from the date the INS receives the filing at one of its Service Centers. This is not the notice date, which reflects the several days or weeks the INS takes to issue the Receipt Notice. The 180 days are calendar days, not business days.

LUD Change on Approved I-140...
Guys,
Has anyone noticed this?
I have had my I-140 approved and recieved on May 2nd 2006. At the moment I have 3 cases in my profile, the approved I-140, the I485 (ND 04/24/2006) and the I-765.
I noticed that when I had my Biometrics done on the 2nd of June.
1) I got an LUD update 06.03.2006 on the I-485 (next day after fingerprinting)
2) I also got an LUD update on my I-140 06.03.2006
Now I got another LUD update on my I-140 on 06.24.2006.
Anyone seen this before ? LUD updates on approved I-140 petition? Does this mean anything good or bad for my I-485 application?
thx
ZB

LUDs
Does it make sense/worth while to track or analyze LUDs, especially for 485? There have been a few theories about what they mean and whether they are an indicator of how close you are to approval.
We pretty much can tie all the 1st and 2nd LUDs as they apply to FP (although some people don't get them for FP). Also, LUDs related to RFEs are pretty simple to understand. But can we correlate the 2nd or 3rd LUD (with no e-mail) that is not immediately after FP to the name check? What about the fourth LUD? Final processing and then QA?

I agree with Capvo.
For our own satisfaction we monitor the LUD but most of the time those do not make any sense. Anyhow if you see a LUD on your case you feel good that someone is looking into your file and it is not collecting dust.

No. You can't file I-485 with new employer.
You will get EAD only after filing I-485.
You need to get new labor certification and new I-140 approval to file I-485 with new employer. Otherwise you have to do this:
a) File your I-485 based on your approved I-140 (Wait till your PD is current)
b) After your EAD approval and 6 months from I-485 filing date, you can
change your employer. New employer will be sponsor of your GC.
c) If you will get I-485 approval within 6 months from I-485 filing date,you may need to wait 6 more months to leave your employer. (This is just be safe)

485 Approval - ZlikeZebra
Finally the message I have been waiting for:
Application Type: I485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or to Adjust Status
Current Status:
This case has been approved. On June 22, 2006, an approval notice was mailed. If 30 days have passed and you have not received this notice, you may wish to verify or update your address. To update your address, please speak to an Immigration Information Officer during business hours.
Now I guess I have to wait for the card to be ordered and mailed.
My main concern is that I am actually currently traveling in Asia (I left on June 18th) and are supposed to come back into the US next week. As on trips before I am planning to use my AP to reenter the US. Now I have heard before that all Visa and AP loose their validity once the I 485 has been approved but my lawyer told me that I should be able to reenter using my AP - given that I was outside the US when I got approved ?
Any thoughts ? Should I get an appointment at the US embassy here (I am currently in China) ?
Last but not least - My wife filed as a dependent - any thought how much longer for her to get her approval ?
Thanks

zanybrainy,
Same with me. I had my I-140 AD on 05/02 but I saw 2 last LUDs on the same. One on 05/22 and other one on 06/24.
Also for EAD/AP/I-485, I saw LUDs on 06/06, 06/07, 06/08, 06/12, 06/13 and nothing after. My EAD and AP was mailed on 06/06. FP was done on 06/06.
Thanks

While Visa loses validity because you just changed status (duh), AP is exactly used in cases like yours. Use it and come back to collect your GC. Congrats!ZlikeZebra said:
Here the Murthy explanation:
http://www.murthy.com/news/n_man485.html
"Can I Travel While I-485 is Pending?
...The best situation is for the individual to have advance parole, which makes travel possible, and to explain the fact of approval at the Port of Entry."
She should get approval any day (usually at/around the same time as primary applicant.
ZlikeZebra: Can you please share your 485 LUDs before the approval. We all are trying to determine a pattern to get some insights. Thanks
Andy Garcia: How do you know your's is stuck with the name check? Specially with a name Andy ;-).

I just had my and my wife's fingerprints done at Alexandria, VA after just missing the flood in the DC area. Our I-485s show new LUDs, which is 06/27/2006.
