Fair point and definitely something to consider.

Yes, the 'dead silence' piece is what is killing him especially. The government of his home country (Korea) is not federal and highly efficient (such documentation would take merely days for their govt to process) so he is really struggling with this. Thanks for the info.

Wow, hard to 'like' this type of update, but at least I feel more at ease knowing we've seemingly done everything right. Obviously, hope to hear something from them soon, but we'll see. Thanks for your help.

Hello, We were married in October (K1) and submitted applications for adjustment of status, work permit, advance parole and received NOA/I-797C for each of them. The receipt number for all of them starts with IOE which means digital/electronic processing I read on some attorney's websites. It says on the bottom of each I-797C that the USCIS office is "National Benefits Center". I'm just trying to get more information to see if we've done something wrong. He was called to and attended the biometrics appointment at the local office in December, and we haven't heard anything after that. When using the tracking feature on USCIS website, it just says "Actively Reviewing" for each document/application. I'm getting paranoid and the stress he is experiencing at having no ability to work or travel to see his family is becoming very hard for him psychologically. Sorry if this is answered elsewhere; just hoping to get answers and make sure we did everything right and haven't missed something.
