I give up on trying to understand USCIS. haha
I just got this text/email status update. Now it's saying his card was in production May 16.
New Card Is Being Produced On May 16, 2016, we ordered your new card for Receipt Number MSCxxxxxxxx, and will mail it to the address you gave us. If you move, go to www.uscis.gov/addresschange to give us your new mailing address.

This really is crazy. How hard is it to keep your file tracked in the system. Not being able to get a straight forward answer from them is beyond unacceptable. This is 2016, we have the technology.
My husbands case went from approved to not approved to moved to a field office on the other side of the country.
I thought being stuck at TSC for months and months was hell... this is worse.

I'm going to be sending in the AOS packet tomorrow. I just wanted to make sure I didn't miss anything. This is what I'm including. Am I missing anything? Thanks!

So is the 75 days from when they received your application (the NOA1), right? Not the biometrics appointment?

I just took a picture of my husband in front of a white wall, cropped it to 2x2 and tiled them on an 8x10 canvas in photoshop and had it printed at walmart, then cut them out.

Great wedding pictures, girls!
We got married on Halloween. No ceremony or anything. It was just us, my parents, and his Mom. We used a self-uniting license. Pennsylvania has these licenses because of the Quakers. You don't need an officiant. You just sign the license, have two witnesses sign it, drop it off at the courthouse, and you're done!
We're planning on having a Halloween/1st Anniversary/Reception party next year.

Got the 3 NOA text/emails last night at 11:25pm

You're welcome! It is the most confusing part of this process. Only because I think the AOS guide on the site is incomplete.
Just for reference.....................

The AOS guide doesn't say it (though it should). It's stated in the instructions of the I-765 and I-131

Jonathan passed his interview! We got there early (6:50am), first in line, took us in at 7:40am. Once we were inside it went crazy fast. We were out of there at 8:30am.
Now to do a little scream therapy on some roller coasters at La Ronde Six Flags!

YES, SO CLOSE!! Too bad we weren't on the same day!
Even though he only lives 30 minutes away from Montreal, we decided to make it a fun trip.... we got a hotel and we're going to La Ronde right after the interview
Seemed fitting to go ride some real rollercoasters after being on this visa rollercoaster ride for so long haha
and CONGRATS walrusbaby!!!!!

YAY!!! Congrats!!!!
15 days until our interview!

Not surprised this happened after the horrible experience I had at the border when I was denied entry. Detained for 3 hours, made to feel like I was a criminal for wanting to stay for 6 weeks with my fiance. I understand I did/said things that would red flag me (I know this now, I didn't realize it at the time, I was just telling the truth), but they treated me like I was trying to smuggle 100 lbs of drugs up my bum. Now I'm flagged and have to pull over every time and wait in the immigration "office" for about 90 minutes. Needless to say, he comes to the US A LOT more than I go up north. The stress of going across the border is too much for me now.
The only bright spot was when I had to surrender myself back to the US side and the US officer was extremely nice to me and my fiance. I was a mess, uncontrollable crying. He took us to a room, gave me water, and helped me calm down. He's the one that gave us the first I-129f form and explained the K1 visa.

YAY!!! Congrats!!!

I started to fill out the DS-160 on Friday and it does ask for the receipt number. It asks for the "receipt number given to you by the USCIS" and has the example "SRCXXXXXXXXX". I'm not completely done filling out the form yet so I don't know if/when it asks for the case #

I agree. I am extremely happy that we got approved but....... I'm also having "approval guilt" when I read the September thread. It's ridiculous and unfair that there are some people still waiting.

WE'RE APPROVED!!!!
The email came at 9:30pm EST!! I can't stop shaking!
