Please correct me if I am wrong.
This is the pattern of LUDs I have noticed in I-485:
There are a couple of LUDs right before and a few right after FP (all within a few days apart). Then there is a silence of 1-3 months and a couple of LUDs and approval or RFE.
I suspect after FP, the LUDs are for name check clearance, etc. And then it goes to a queue waiting approval (that's what the silence is about). After the silence, first its the internal/tentative approval, and then approval is reviewed for quality assurance one or twice (that is what the last couple of LUDs towards the end are, I think).
This is all my guess work based on how government agencies work.
And no, I don't work for USCIS, neither am I a lawyer. However, I wouldn't mind getting a check or two
neargc: Your approval should be done by mid-end July or August at the most - since most people are stuck in backlog centers for labor or can't file 485 due to retrogression. So 485 team is much less busy. TSC is fastest when it comes to I-140 and 485.

You said that there was no LUD changed after FP done. Can you tell us last 3-4 LUDs before the I-485 approval.
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
