From my understanding, it's the Lockbox that sends you the NOA1.  I've read on a different website that the Lockbox receives your Petition and checks for the basics like, correct fee, signatures, basic eligibility like if you're a US Citizen, class of Petition and if you meet the basics then they cash your check or charge your credit card and determins which Service Center has jurisdiction over your case.  Did you check your bank account or credit card company to see if you was charged?

@WaterLeaf Don't worry, you almost always get the hard copy NOA 1 by then, as long as you received confirmation that it's delivered, you're good.

Extend it to March. There will be few(Lucky ones) that will get approved by February but mostly it will be March and beyond. Goodluck on your journey and for your speedy process.😊

Yes wac is california service center 

Just dropping by to say Godbless you all in fighting for love. This journey will give you so much fun and excitement but more on stress, pressures and anxiety that’s really worth it in the end. 
 
Just a piece of advice: if you think there were few evidences(passport photo, dating site TOS, etc) you forgot to include in your packet, make sure to prepare it now while waiting for your approval. UCSIS is such unpredictable. That will save your time to get your NOA2.

Here we go for the long road ahead.

They are both the same. Thank you all for the replies, this is helpful.

That particular i94 question is ONLY if your fiancée is currently at the present moment of you filling out those forms on US soil. If they’re not there you may skip that question. They ask about previous trips to the US later on. 

I saw this on the Reddit Immigration forum and thought I'd post it since I read so many questions about getting past Tier 1. The person who wrote this post on Reddit seems super salty that callers want information about their cases. 
 
From here: https://www.reddit.com/r/immigration/comments/8w9pk9/uscis/  (formatting is mine since they posted it in one giant paragraph)
 
"I work for the first level of customer service, and I can tell you from experience that the reason it's impossible to get transferred to the next level, or even get a call back is because they are so damn busy with callers such as yourselves who want to know every single detail about their case. The next level is supposed to be reserved for rescheduling biometrics appointments, clarifying conflicting information (case status says one thing while a notice says another), faxing appointment notices, and giving tracking information. THAT'S IT. Nothing more, nothing less.
 
So of course, we are not going to transfer you when the first thing you say after we give our opening is "Hi, I'd like to be transferred to Tier 2 please." Because we're not idiots, we aren't going to transfer someone unless it is absolutely necessary, otherwise we wouldn't even have a next level of customer service. It honestly baffles me at the amount of people who call wanting to speak directly with the officer working on their case. Do you realize how large the workload already is for USCIS? If the ajudicating officers spent the day taking calls and listening to people complain about their cases then the amount of time it takes to process an application would most likely triple. That's why most tier 2 representatives are not ajudicating officers, some of them aren't even officers at all.
 
The best advice I can give anyone going through this process is to just wait and be patient like everyone else, because as a government agency they are going to have communication issues, hell, most of the time the information that USCIS provides to us tier 1 representatives is conflicting and it changes almost every day. So before you run your mouth at some redneck with a headset on, take a step back and consider the enormous amount of work that the Immigration Officers have to do, and if you do call, please just be patient and don't cut us off or ask to be transferred before we even know what your issue is. Most of us are not there just to get you off the phone, we will help you with what we can, and if your issue warrants a transfer, then we will do so if the next level is taking calls. But we are not there to tell you what you should do, we are just there to explain your options and tell you the procedures."

No. We did court marriage, didn't show any photos or anything. AOS'ed without issue. Doesn't matter as long as you marry within the 90 days. How you choose to is entirely up to you.

as long as the EDITION date in the bottom left is 7/17/17, for now. 
 
according to the USCIS website, "07/17/17. A new edition of this form is coming soon. In the meantime, you may file using the 07/17/17 edition.  You can find the edition date at the bottom of the page on the form and instructions."

Lets clear up a few of your misconceptions so you can relax.
 
Once you file for AOS, you are fine.  Don't worry about the receipt.
 
The 90 days time is for you to marry within 90 days. 
 
There is no requirement that you file for AOS within 90 days.
 
Here is where your confusion might come in.  If you file for AOS after the 90 days, then there is a period of time between the expiration of your I-94 (the 90 days) and when you file for AOS where you would be out of status and overstayed your visa.  Most people try to avoid this period of being out of status.  However, this overstay is forgiven for the spouse of a US citizens seeking AOS.  

Technically, you are out of status after your I-94 expires.  However, as soon as you file AOS, you will be in "authorized stay" status.  I haven't heard of anyone being deported between marriage and AOS filing, however, there have been a few posters who claimed ICE cam to their door and warned them.
 
Don't panic.  Just file your AOS paperwork, and you will be authorized to stay in the US.

If you include application for work/travel permits - they will arrive in about 3 - 6 months.
His green card will arrive  in about 12 to 14 months.

Because everyone use the form they print from their online i94 account and it's enough... 

I found that this video helped give me a better idea of what is expected

Thank you so much for your response. I'm a little gutted as the internship would have been ideal for my profession, but I respect the law.

I have found many volunteer opportunities at volunteermatch.com - 4 hours at a hospice on the phones, 4 hours at the library shelving books so I will opt for those!
