LUD is "Last Updated Date" . You can see this for your case if you register at the USCIS website and add your case to the portfolio. YOu can find more information about this in the "VSC for Dummies" thread.
 
Here's my experience and timeline near Hartford, CT.
5/2002 - Company mgmt agreed to sponsor green card.
9/2002 - 1 month of job advertisements for quantitative programmer begin.
11/12/2002 - Labor Cert application under RIR sent in.
5/14/2004 - CT approves and forwards case to Boston SESA.
6/3/2004 - LC approved.
6/15/2004 - I suggested consular processing over I485 AOS to lawyers.


7/1/2004 - I-140 application sent in to VSC.
8/20/2004 - I-140 approved.


The lawyers told me it took only a month and half because I had an approved I-140 from my previous employer. Reading about other people's cases here (10 days, etc.), that's still slow!
 
Congratulations:

Slow? thank your stars that your I-140 got approved in a month and a half. There are people here waiting for months and years for their 140 to come through :)

I dont think there is any pattern for the LUD changes.My140 LUD changed first time when my 485 is filed.The next time it changed only when it is approved(10/12).But it changed again on 10/13(I think this is when mail room guys did some action..)

Hi Gurus

GCVA again small clarifications:

1.Labor Certification is from Chicago and I am working for New Jersey client and living in new jersey. They want to use this labor certification for me as substitute and file I140/I485? can I able to file I140/485 at vermont service center? (My company has head quarters in NJ and branch office in chicago.)

2. What is your best advice, will I go for vermont or Nebraska region?

3. My H1B is going to expire in 6 months. Nebraska is very slow now a days, I want to go for vermont. Is this good idea?

I appreciate your advice. Thanks in advance.
 
Help Needed

HI,
There is a company willing to offer job on the basis of :

01. willing to substitute Pre-approved LC for GC process
02. File I-140 / I-485 / I-765 all at same time
03. I can join the company after EAD is approved

My question is, if I join this company if they terminate my job for some reason after 180 days though I have EAD but BEFORE I-140 is approved what will be my situation.

Can any one help clarify me, please?
thanks in advance
 
I dont think you have a choice to apply from Vermont. If your labor cert is from Chicago, you'll have to file from Nebraska. I am not 100% sure. Please check with a lawyer.

In order to change jobs your 140 should've been approved and your 485 should've been pending for 180 or more days. But I have seen some cases where a couple of my friends switched jobs though their 485 had not been pending for 180 days, but they all had their 140 cleared.

I am not an expert on this but thought to share the information I have. Good luck..
