I don't think there's a way to track money orders. The upside of a money order is that the payment gets cleared right away, where a check takes a couple of days. You will probably get your NOAs sooner :)

I have entered USA as an F1 student in December 2010 and have maintained my status ever since. In August 2013 I met my husband (L) . We got engaged in March 2014 (L) And married in July.

8/7/14 - Texts and emails with NOAs for I-130, I-485 and I-765. ~ Now I have case numbers I can go online 10 times a day and check!!!

8/13/14 - NOAs for I-130, I-485 and I-765 received in the mail. I have an alien number now.

9/2/14 - Biometrics done

I just went on the uscis site to check my case status with the receipt numbers they gave me - and it was only for my AOS (I got three notifications, since I handed it in for AOS, EAD, and AP) that they said it was going to Nebraska Service Center...

Did a lot of research for my K1, but not as much for this package - anyone know if going to Nebraska's a good thing?

I don't think it matters.. some people send none, some send 10. I personally sent about 20. Make sure you have pictures with friends and family and include wedding photos as well if you can.

The point is to show them that you have a relationship so try to establish a timeline. I sent pictures of us from college, pics at friends weddings, pics of graduation. So on so forth.

I just went on the uscis site to check my case status with the receipt numbers they gave me - and it was only for my AOS (I got three notifications, since I handed it in for AOS, EAD, and AP) that they said it was going to Nebraska Service Center...

I can't find any info on Nebraska processing times.. guess we'll find out?

OH GOD. I totally misunderstood your question. I apologize. Are you asking about passport photos?

In that case I sent:

1 US Cit. G325a

1 Alien G325a

2 Alien i765

2 Alien i485

Anyone else want to pipe in on this question?

I agree with Castlerosse. I did attach 2 pics of each to G325A's and also 1 pic of US Citizen to form I-864, but it was not necessary. When I was putting the package together I was thinking 'better too many pis than not enough'. :)

On the side note, I received 3 txt messaged and 3 emails last night with my NOA's. My finger print notice (I assume i 485) is being processed at the Nebraska center and is at Acceptance stage. i-130 and i-765 are at the initial review stage .

Good luck and lots of patience to everyone waiting :)

I have entered USA as an F1 student in December 2010 and have maintained my status ever since. In August 2013 I met my husband (L) . We got engaged in March 2014 (L) And married in July.

Good point, there should be 3 G325a total. 2 attached to i130 (US Cit and Alien) and one (alien) to i485.
