That is a good question Shiv. I cannot wait to read the responses.

From what I have observed, the definition is whatever the Original Poster (OP), the person who started the thread, decided.

I think you would be a March filer because both your I130 and I129F were sent and received in March. But, it is an open forum for all members to post and all to read. So I would say post where you feel most comfortable.

3/23/14 - N400 package sent to Phoenix

3/27/14 - N400 package delivered

I agree with edp333, you are a March filer. You filed both petitions out in March, they just didn't receipt it until April 4. Not that it really matters.
