US Immigration from Russia

We were in the process of scheduling our interview in March 2020 when the pandemic shut down, and April when the embassy closed. We have been stuck since anyone have a clue when the Embassy will open. The only answers we got from them is that they will reach out to people and look at scheduling appointments when they turn the lights back on.

Good morning!

I just married my Russian husband in Mexico! We submitted I-129f in July 2020, no NOA2 yet. We are now no longer eligible for the k1 as we are married. We felt this was the best decision for us as a couple.

1. Do I need to send a letter to USCIS withdrawing my i-129f or is it automatically null due to us no longer being eligible? Or will applying for I-130 suffice? Just want to make it easy on the USCIS people.

2. Does my Mexico marriage cert need to be apostilled to send to USCIS? I have the translated Spanish to English version with certified translator info.

Hello!
We have sent a packet with AOS applications (I-485, I-131, I-765) for my wife and daughters via USPS. According to the tracking number last known status:
December 31, 2020
In Transit, Arriving Late
Your package will arrive later than expected, but is still on its way. It is currently in transit to the next facility.
One before that:
December 27, 2020, 11:44 pm
Arrived at USPS Regional Destination Facility
CHICAGO IL DISTRIBUTION CENTER

After an inquiry with USPS they said "it is possible for the item to have been delivered without a scan". I have called USCIS several times asking whether they have received a packet and was told "no", last time today. They are asking to wait for 90 days since the date of supposed delivery because of their backlog.
We don t know whether the package was delivered to the USCIS or was lost by USPS. And we won t potentially know for more than a month.

What should we do now? If we just wait and then figure out the package was truly lost, we are just wasting time now - my wife cannot work (she really wants to start working!), cannot travel outside of the U.S.

Can we assemble and send another AOS package to USCIS? If we do and in case when the first package actually made it through to the USCIS, what will happen if there will be a second set of applications?
USCIS customer service representative also said if the payments from both of the packets will go through, it would be almost impossible to reverse the payment. I wonder if there are other issues with potentially having duplicate applications.
Please advise!

Does the countdown timer to NOA2 start when USCIS processes the application, or does it start on the date you receive your NOA1?

Hello.
It s probably a silly question but did the USCIS get the package?

Someone is supposed to sign it, isn t?

This is the only status it shows
