Omg !! I paid with the same card too! It’s a credit card from citi bank ! So do i have to call them and pre authorize it 

It would be better if you did as I read some reports of people having their application sent back because the credit card charge was declined. I did all of the following things:
1) Enabled travel notification (you can do this online)
2) Asked for them to add a large purchase bypass (they said this can only be done for 2 days at a time so I call them every 2 days)

3) Mentioned the specific amounts that I was expecting to be charged ($1225 and $535). Not sure if this is connected to #2 because I provide this information as well whenever I call them.

We have the same priority date. Hahaha this should be interesting. I got my NOA on the 16th (Delivered late at night) so our time line is pretty close. However they only sent me two NOA’s i485 and 765. Didn’t get for the i130

Filing from Arkansas. I was hoping since there probably aren't many filing from here we would get things done quickly. The Fort Smith Field Office probably isn't that busy either. But I don't think it works that way lol
