Ugh, this is just all kinds of nerve-wracking. Why?

 

I'm already going over my paperwork again to figure out what we screwed up.

Well, looks like they charged my card again a week later, just for my wife, not the stepdaughter. At 2 in the morning for some reason.

 

Here's hoping it posts this time.

Hi everybody!

I filed for AOS of my mother (from B visa, overstayed for almost a decade). The package was delivered to Chicago lockbox on 7/20. Yesterday (7/22) she got the text messages with case numbers. We sent two checks, however neither of them has been cashed yet, afaik. Let’s hope it’s a smooth and fast process!

Hello all, 

 

I filed AOS for both parents from B1/B2 Visas: (Submitted I-485, I-864W, I-131, I-693)

 

• 12 July: Mailed both AOS packets via FedEx 

• 15 July: Delivered later than I paid for but, packets arrived to and signed for at Chicago

• 19 July: Received four text notifications “USCIS: Your case was received.” 

• 20 July: Both Money Orders cashed

• 22 July: Received four I-797c IOE Receipt Notices in the mail (two I-485s / two I-131s for both parents). Processing Center is National Benefits Center (at least according to the envelope). 

• Priority Date: 10 June 2021. It took me a whole month to find the motivation to compile and assemble both packets after submitting my I-130 Petitions online. I’m a Millenial. I prefer to submit these packets ONLINE. 😂 But, I am forever grateful to the existence of this VJ site and the panel of experts, who took the time to answer my questions whenever I started overthinking the verbiage on these forms. Shoutout to @Chancy and @arken for inadvertently always coming through when I needed it, and who evidently takes the time to help a lot of us hapless folks on here, along with the other experts and experienced folks.You’re the real MVP! 

 

…and now we wait. 🤞🏼✌🏼

 

Good luck fellow July filers! ♥️

Good luck with your application, we have almost the same time-line, except I’m still waiting for my Receipt Notices in the mail. 
AOS packet was sent out on 12th July as well 😂

Thank you so much! 😊 I am legit shocked that these Receipt Notices arrived this soon. Wasn’t expecting them for another few weeks. Crossing my fingers you get your paper Receipts soon. Best of luck! 🤞🏼

Congrats! Our timelines look similar in all aspects. Nice! 
 

So uhhh, I just realized that this is the K1/married peeps forum, so ummm, my bad?!?! 😂😂 This is what happens when I also couldn’t find a July post for the Tourist/Work folks and only stumbled across this one without seeing the rest of the main page. Oh well!
 

Keep us please! 😂😂
