A couple of updates to my timeline: 
Package shipped via FedEx: 11.17.2023 Package delivered at Phoenix Lockbox: 11.20.2023 Text confirmation received with case number: 11.24.2023 Check cashed: 11.27.2023 NOA1 - Confirmation receipt and letter of extension uploaded to online account: 11.28.2023 NOA2 - Biometrics scheduling confirmation: 12.03.2023 The case is with the Vermont Service Center and I'm currently waiting on delivery of both NOAs in the mail. 

Yes, NOA1 aka extension letter is printed on green colored, watermarked paper.
 
You should only travel with original letter and expired GC. Many airlines won't board you with a self printed copy of NOA1. Some people got lucky, but I wouldn't count on it.

NOA1 wasn’t generated yet. It’s too early for it to appear on the account
 
It’s not based on your location. USCIS assigns it according to their internal system of workload distribution among the service centers.

Does your case number start with IOE? 

That’s good, you should see the notices in the account soon.
USCIS online updates can be very unreliable and also they don’t always reflect reality. My guess would be that they haven’t generated the notice and scanned it to the online account even though they say they sent it already. I would give it a few more days 

Thanks, that was helpful. I feel more positive after your comments.

That's great news! Thanks for sharing!

I’m a Dec 2018 K1 AoS filer and just received my interview schedule for Jan 2021 today. I’m also following people with the same timeline and field office on here and, by visual check, it’s 50/50 in terms of movement/no movement for Dec 2018 filers. Hope that helps.

I got a response from the ombudsman office that they have contacted Uscis regarding my issue and will let me know the outcome in 30 days. Within 5 days uscis took action on my service request and sent me the appointment notice. 

Yes it should be only Local office , as for Columbus, OH  ; I have seen people whose PD is after me and already have done their BIO . And few already got there EAD!

Similar experience here, Apparently looks like local US senator also are given 30 day time period from USICS to respond , I wonder how that is different from the Service Request that we can create ourselves ?

Super frustrating that so many of us are waiting for such a long time with no word from anyone. Seems a standard wait 30 days no matter where you are checking for an update. Didn't love USCIS's response of well if we don't hear from the local office in 30 days we can try another request. I thought with cut backs on immigrants entering the country, that our timelines would be running a lot faster. Imagine my surprise.... 🤨

I’m in a similar situation. Contacted local US senator for help, open a service request myself, my ASC office is Seattle, reopened since July 13th. The only difference is that I also have an AP pending, and that did not bring any difference to my case, which is out of processing time, and that means nothing for USCIS. I still do not have Bio appointment scheduled, called several times, talked to several tier 2 officers, and yet I just hear that I should keep waiting. 

I should receive a response to the service request that I open by myself by November, 15th. My guess is the service request opened by a senator follows the same timeline, I have not hear anything yet from the senator. I also talk to people that have contacted senators in the past, for immigration purposes, and they told me they never received any reply (can be a local thing, though). I decided to try anyway because this black hole is driving me insane.

No change in address. I happened to check my case and had new date. 

On the same boat here.

In the Same boat , PD May 15th .  NOOOOO updates at all 😑!!

Same boat here! 
NOA1 - May 26,2020
until now, no bio appointment, no RFE.
also with a request open at USCIS. 
called 100 times, talked to several tier 2 officers and representatives. Nothing else we can do except WAIT. 
My case is out of the processing times. 
ASC OFFICE: Seattle

Same ole story for us here, applied May 4th and NOA1 received May 12th.
Austin office.
 
I'm currently filing a case inquiry. It's been hard living off of 1 income but the worst is the wait.. 

Ay captain, one more passenger onboard.. Atlanta is almost as bad as Seattle.

We've been trying to get a biometrics appointment for months. PD was May 27, 2020. Local Detroit office opened July 20. We called USCIS early Oct and were told to we had to wait 30 days (local office had to be open 90 days before they would do anything further). Called again today and they put in a service request with the local office and told us to expect to hear by email within 30 days. Agent said she could not book a biometrics appointment on the phone, no matter what tier of agent was requested. We are looking for wife to get her EAD card and SSN so she can start working! Sounds like a lot of us are in the same boat! Here's hoping for some positive news and progress for us all!!!

They are gonna tell you that if u don't hear anything back they will submit new service inquiry.

Bingo!
131 and 765 are independent forms that can be submitted simultaneously. If you did not submit a separate set of copies of the documents required, like the 485 receipt, USCIS may understand you are filling 131 independently, therefore you should have pay a fee for it. 

EAD just got delivered. So very thankful it wasn't lost in the mail as apparently I would have had to reapply. Fingers crossed I get my green card before it expires next September! Come onnnn Washington DC ASC!
