My husband and I just filed the AOS (I-485 with concurrent I-130) eleven days ago t the Chicago lockbox. We filed the form to receive electronic notification of acceptance. We haven't received either an e-notification or anything by mail. Our tracking through USPS shows that the package was delivered. My husband called the National Service Center yesterday and they said keep waiting. I was going to email the Chicago Lockbox Support, but the USCIS website says that we shouldn't notify them until 30 days have passed without notification. Usually I'd be inclined to just be patient, but my husband is in his 60 day grace period after his F-1 expired. We couldn't file sooner because we were abroad (not in his country) for work and could not establish residence status in order to do a consular filing. His grace period ends in two days, which means he needs to leave the country, right? And then what? We have to withdraw the application, or we wait and if it's approved he can come back? Is there a way to avoid him leaving the country? Anyone have any experience with something like this or have any advice?

First, calm down. He does not need to leave. Just wait for the mail from USCIS.

Aldo know that the notifications are spotty at best. Some receive all their notifications promptly, some people receive some notifications, and others receive none at all. Don't rely on it.

You have filed for AOS. He does not need to leave even if his current legal status is expiring soon, that's an advantage of marrying a US citizen. Just wait. Even if you receive the notification late, the receipt date on the notification will be the date USCIS received your application. So don't worry.
