wrong date on I-485 receipt

[xstal]

I know this is a little late, but based on the ridiculous snail speed of the VB, this is the first time I scrutinized my I-485 receipt and the USCIS online case check.


I, like a lot of others, got my I-140 approved, and then slipped in my I-485 application during the July VB fiasco of 2007.

I have a PDF of the FedEx delivery receipt/signature that it was delivered to the USCIS on July 28th, 2007, a Saturday

On my Receipt, it says the "Received Date" is July 30th, the Monday. I am not going to dispute that 2 days, especially since it was a Saturday.

BUT when I go online to check my case status through the USCIS website, it says

On September 5, 2007, we received this I485 APPLICATION TO REGISTER PERMANENT RESIDENCE OR TO ADJUST STATUS, and mailed you a notice describing how we will process your case. Please follow any instructions on this notice. We will notify you by mail when we make a decision or if we need something from you. If you move while this case is pending, call customer service. We process cases in the order we receive them. You can use our processing dates to estimate when yours will be done. This case is at our NEBRASKA SERVICE CENTER location. Follow the link below to check processing dates. You can also receive automatic e-mail updates as we process your case. Just follow the link below to register.

Do i need to be concern?

I maybe being silly here, but I'd appreciate anyone that can answer my question. I mean, their computer is saying they got my package on September 5th! This doesn't even make sense, cos the July VB fiasco window was over by Aug 15th back in 2007!

Also, just so I know, anyone got their July VB packaged delivered on a Saturday but got a receipt date for the Monday after? (I'll feel a little better if I know I am not cheated here)

Now, i can get back to being grumpy about the VB retrogression/non-movement saga of 2009.

thank you everyone!

There are 2 different dates: Notice and Receipt Date.

Receipt date is when they got it, which in your case is July 30th. This date is used to count 180 days for your 485 File date.

Notice Date is the date when they entered the information in to their system, which in your case is September 5th. This date is used for processing dates and all.

I hope this helps.

See Q.18. I think your case is one of the TSC-VSC-TSC or NSC-CSC-NSC transfers. Your attorney needs to follow up with USCIS and USCIS will issue new receipts with the correct receipt dates. Contrary to earlier post, cases are processed per receipt dates, not notice dates. Check your latest 485 receipts for the dates.

"18.Question: There are I-140 and I-485 cases that were originally filed TSC, then transferred to VSC, then transferred back to TSC 3 months later. As a result of the transfer, the original receipt date was replaced with the date of last transfer which is 3 months behind. This causes such cases behind the current processing dates at TSC. What could TSC do to pull those cases forward in the line of cases waiting for processing to correct the problem?
Response: Cases should always retain their original receipt date. If you are aware of cases that lost that date because of work flow transfers, please let us know so we can correct the problem."

per my OP, my physical receipt said my "RECEIPT date" is July 30th.
but the ONLINE status said "it was RECEIVED on Sept 5th"\

I was mainly concern about the wording on the online statis "received on..."

how did you determine I was a NSC-CSC-NSC transfer case from that?
I am a little confused here.

thank you very much

Systems were designed when as soon as mail was recieved, it was entered in the system. Therefore, for practical purposes, data entry date was the receive date. Many centers, when they claim, "we process cases in order we receive them...", or "our processing is within prescribed time schedule limits...", they treat this data entry date as the received date (as they think until it reached them for data entry, it is not their responsibility). When files are shuffled around, there may be a big difference in these dates, but no one has ever clarified that issue.

hi,
my PD is Aug 30 2007, which is on my I-140 approval Notice.
When my PD became current, i applied for I-485 and got the receipt notice from TSC.
But my Priority Date field has wrong date and it is same as my Receipt Date.
My Application sent to USCIS11 on Dec2nd and reached on Dec 5th and Notice Date is Dec9th,2011.When i received my Physical receipt, the Receipt Date and Prority dates are same and it is Dec 5th,2011.

Please let me know if anybody on same boat ever and how can i resolve this issue?
Thanks in advance.

In my case lawyer has requested to consider EB3 priority date to EB2 category as I was having two I140 with different priority date and categories. I received i485 receipt with PD as receipt date(Dec/01/2011).

Now we are having almost case case.
