Great, good luck... you're basically a week behind me.

I'm waiting for my Biometrics appointment and crossing fingers for not getting a RFE!

Couple questions...I received two e-mails, three texts, and two receipt numbers.

One of the e-mails said, "Your case has been accepted and routed to the USCIS National Benefits Center for processing."

However both of my receipt numbers begin with MSC and according to this page: http://www.visajourney.com/content/uscis-receipt-numberthat means it was sent to the Missouri Service Center.

This kinda makes me nervous that 1. I didn't receive four notices/receipt numbers for all of my forms and 2. the discrepancy in getting routed to different service centers. Perhaps that link I included is incorrect/outdated? Any thoughts?

Are you adjusting from a student visa?

All my four recepit numbers start with MSC...I had no idea about the break down of the receipt numbers.

Now, I'm kind of confused

Yes, adjusting from F-1. Did yours specify where it got routed?

My other text/e-mail receipts came in about an hour later. Just delayed for some reason. ^_^

It will be interesting to figure out the NBC/MSC thing, though.

Glad everyone on this thread is seeing movement.

Received biometrics appointment in the mail today. Appointment is scheduled for 11/03/15, but I bet my husband will try an early walk-in on Monday since he's a full time graduate student and his ZERO time. He has class scheduled during his appointment so I'm sure that's a valid reason.

Failed early walk-in attempt for biometrics at Boston location this morning. They do NOT take walk-ins. Luckily it's on the way to school, but I don't trust sending in the form to reschedule without it delaying our timeline or screwing anything up.
