Greetings to all! I have never really posted on this site but it has been so helpful to read all of the comments and to stand together with others in this journey. That being said, I woke up

It's not really "posted" anywhere. Best to call and ask the date they recieved all of your documents

Yes they do, any update goes into the system; that's how i found out about my checklist (which turned out to be an error)

I just called to check for updates and started complaining about my life being on hold.  She then told me the great news!!! Best of luck to you.

That is the million dollar question.  I've asked the same.  Some say don't worry about it and others say put them.  I don't think you can put the / when typing the document - that's what my wife told me when she was completing it yesterday.  My concern is the instructions say to put it so if you don't, you could get someone reviewing it who wants it and then you get a checklist.

They say it's in the review department and I should wait until it reaches to 11 weeks. 11 weeks will be on 4/8 so I guess they can't do anything by then :(

congratulationsss,

you are so blessed :)

did you use electronic processing? if not where is your location, did you ask help from sentors? or when is your priority date?

 

do call and verify.. you might get your interview schedule on May too :)

am happy for you :)

I used eletronic processing. I'm from Brazil and I didn't ask for help to the senator. My priority date at the USCIS is 08/23. I called there yesterday and they said the interview wasn't scheduled yet.

Same scan date, same answer! 

The lady said: "That's where the documents are supposed to be. These are good news for you". Let's hope we hear from them soon. :)

 

Good luck! Let me know when you get your CC. I live in fear of the checklist.

Lol, I hear you.  I think I'm driving my wife crazy with my paranoia of us making a mistake and always double checking what she does:)
