Priority date vs Receipt date for the EB category
Which one is more important for the processing of i-485? what’s the significance of the these two dates exactly? I will appreciate it if someone can clarify this for me please. Thank you.

@applicant, I think it’s receipt date once current. for example, I submitted i140 oct 2020. it was approved sept 2021. i485 receipt date is sept 2021 so this is when my processing time starts for i485, I think, rather than priority date of oct 2020

@S B: My timeline is almost identical to yours with only one month difference. I remember my lawyer said last year that concurrent filing will not result in a faster final approval. that’s why I am asking if they will go based in the priority date or the receipt date, which is 9 months later.
