Got the NOA in mail today. Looks like they sent them out on 25th from Chicago. Anyway, yay!

Hi, everyone! I was getting anxious, but just got e-notification texts/emails of AOS receipt (about 1 hour ago) and wanted to share my detailed timeline until this point!

Sep 15, 2017 - Mailed AOS package via UPS 

Sep 18, 2017 -  Received at Chicago office
Sep 22, 2017 - Checks cashed

Sep 24, 2017 (9:20 pm) - E-notifications

I'm currently with F-1 and got married to a USC recently. I'm planning to drop out classes for now and wait until the resident tuition applies to me (because it's way cheaper than international student rate). My school doesn't let me close my F-1 status until I submit a copy of AOS receipt and the deadline for this (with getting a full refund for fall term tuition) is October 3rd. MyCaseStatus page says they "mailed us a notice" though the e-notifications say I will receive the official notice within 7 - 10 days. I got those e-notifications at the most unexpected time (Sunday night)... but I'm hoping they already sent out the physical receipt on Friday so we can find it in our mailbox soon and don't have to worry about it...
