Even though it sucks to wait again it's nice that we can now wait with our significant others! ?

Exactly. And, glad she's found something to keep her fairly occupied.

At the moment, tinkering with an old project that she'd started a while back (architecture); and, doing some online training to keep up her certification.

If you're into online training, you could check out Coursera. It's free and there's a range of course topics to choose from.

Yes haha, thanks. It does seem to be a trend with the USCIS for sure. I think people can expect an electronic NOA 1 at night when you aren't expecting it. Lol. Now we wait! :)

Hey everyone,

Good news. we got our NOA1 very late last night by email only. Glad to have the process started now.

We have the same timeline as you but we haven't received our NOA1 yet! It's very frustrating! I'm glad you got yours though!

Has the USCIS cashed the check? If they have then it means you're in the system and should probably get our NOA1 soon. Hopefully, you'll be hearing something soon. Keep us posted.

Best of luck

Yes haha, thanks. It does seem to be a trend with the USCIS for sure. I think people can expect an electronic NOA 1 at night when you aren't expecting it.

Yep. When we went through the K1, received the e-NOA1 and e-NOA2 at night, between 9:30 and 10:30pm.

Now with the AOS, I received the NOA's at 10:30pm again. it's interesting
