I think it all depends on what catageory you are filing your AOS. In my experience, all employment based and normal processing timed application are taking 2-4 weeks before they get any NOA. Marriage AOS doesn't depent on any priority date or visa avaliblity therefore are not subjected to additional internal processing, which no one knows what are they. Lets hope for the best.

Alina,

Thats super quick. Hope i get something by End of this week :)

We sent ours in on the 1st! USPS said it was delivered on the 3rd, but we haven't received a text back yet. Hopefully we'll hear back soon. :) Good luck to everyone! Looking forward to hearing all the stories and just being more relaxed in this process than our K1!

the same problem here - kind of concerned now. Did your check get cashed?

My employer checked on Friday 14th check was not cleared until then. I hope this week. Its frustrating but it even took a month for some to hear anything back and in some cases it only took a week.
