T&Heem

Thank you all for the helpful tip. I'm hoping you can all see it when I post this.
It seems like all the P's are needed when embarking on this "journey".
Perseverance in ploughing through all the various forms, with all the do's and don'ts when submitting.
Patience in waiting for any glimmer of communication from the powers that be (just knowing the case is being worked on is a relief in itself!)
Positive thinking... definitly required as I spend days fretting that I got something wrong on the application!
The last P will be the best... Party time!!! When you've all become successful in obtains the GC! (I'll wait for my invites haha)

We received all 4 hardcopy NOA1s today! Woo-Hoo! Biometrics here we come....
SN: It's great to see so many new people joining the group. I am wishing you all a quick and easy process.

Here's some info on how to contact the Chicago Lockbox - https://www.uscis.gov/about-us/directorates-and-program-offices/lockbox-intake/office-intake-and-document-production

Happy to see lots of people joining, hopefully it moves smoothly for everyone. Hoping for hard copies of NOA soon...

Heem received all 4 NOA1's (emails and texts) this morning at 12:30AM!! I guess they ignored my G-1145 but that is A-OK! Checked our bank account and checks were also cashed yesterday. So now the real wait begins.....

Hello, no need to stress about this. I am a March filer and I got my packet sent back to me because I dated the check for 2015 lol... I didn't know they sent back the packet so I saw it was taking so long, I called USCIS and they told that they process applications case by case and the order is not always First In First Out. They confirmed though that once the check is cashed, if you joined the G-1145 you will receive shortly after the sms/emails notifications. I believe you will hear soon sometime this week. Good luck and patience is your best friend!

YAY!! That's Great news.....1 step closer. Fingers crossed that we get a late night surprise too.
