Amazing! Congrats! I filed on October 18, My biometric appointment is on November 15. I'm keeping my fingers crossed!

Hi all,
 
Our (K1+K2+K2) I-485 got a case status update "Case approved" on 28th Oct 2022. I am wondering what we are expecting next? Will the GC arrive in mail, or will there be another case status update before? 
 
Timeline
K1 + K2 + K2 AOS
Received 12/09/2022
Biometrics 06/10/2022
K2 EAD approved, card was produced 06/10/2022
K2 EAD and SSN received 15/10/2022
I-485 approved 28/10/2022 (K1/K2/K2)
 
Still pending:
EAD, AP K1 + K2
AP K2
 
NOTE: We did not expedite, and we are amazed how fast I-485 was approved, our local office shows average 18months processing time (Raleigh, NC). Also we were expecting different timelines for K1 and K2, not that it would all get approved on the same day.

We're back in business. I'll be covering for Optimis19 while he's away. Here are the previous Scans we missed:

OUTSTANDING TOTALS FOR MAY
Total for this month: 78 Untouched, 1987 Approvals, 255 RFESs, 143 RFERs, 236 Denials, 3 Expedites(Denied: 3), 131 Withdrawals, 31 Others

My opinion is don’t rely on NVC for any updates.  I sent an inquiry about our case on April 26th, two days ago June 14th I received an email answer to that inquiry, stating that they had forwarded my case to the embassy.  In the meantime, we had already heard from the embassy and scheduled our appointment for June 28.  We were fortunate enough that we received our case number before they quit answering the phones.  
I think it is absolutely ridiculous that NVC wont take phone calls, after waiting a year from NOA 1 to 2 with no communication, I thought finally there would be an avenue to keep informed about our case, turned out not to be true.
I don’t know how they are going to solve this, I just know they should not treat their citizens trying to do things the proper way through immigration completely in the dark through the entire process.

WEEKLY CHART UPDATE 06/12: 
 
Approval changes this week: +171
RFE changes this week: +60
TOTAL NEW CHANGES (approval or RFE) : 231
480+ Other Action aka "waiting and others" 
2700+ Who have heard back (either approval or RFE)
 
Inquiry date is currently March 20th, 2021. More May filers hearing back each day that April, so they seemed to have moved on to May, much to my own dismay as I'm one of the 400+ still waiting. 
 
I also created a chart I'll keep updating that for now included Jan-April filers (later months to be added later on) with approvals, denials, RFE sent and received, and withdrawals included. Lots of movement this last week in Jan-March filers, so hopefully a good sign that they are going back and cleaning up those "left behind". Also, withdrawal numbers have over doubled from Jan filers to April filers. I hope this is helpful for those of us wondering how previous months look compared to our own. I will update this every week/few weeks.

April Chart link, updated nightly: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1USXTWEww37JnWiCxW6ftP1UZjE6fKU2gn2Mk4OSVGLw/edit?usp=sharing

There is no fee for NVC with K1, but there is the MRV fee you pay for the Embassy. I created 3 separated DS-160 forms, to be honest I thought it was too much of a headache to figure how to do that family form :'D DS-160 does not need any account

When your benefiaciary creates us travel docs account she will fill the information there. She needs to do separated DS-160 forms for all of them, and confirmation page numbers will be added to the us travel docs. Then when all information is there and children added to get visa application, you will get MRV fee slip where all their payments are combined. So all fees can be paid with the same MRV slip. You need to make separated 134 forms for each too
Oh and I forgot to add, you dont need NVC invoice numbers at any point of the process

We got an email from the NVC when the case was sent to the embassy. This email contained the PDF letter informing our case have been sent to the embassy and included the case number.

Well to be honest that information is not very important before they send it
 
Sure I called them and got the case number, because I was impatient and it is helping with mental stress during the waiting to see something is happening, so I understand that mental need 
 
But there is plenty of time to do DS-160 and create US travel docs account and book the medical, even you get that case number from the emai when case is in transit.
 
Also I noticed myself and many others, that gaining this invoice number your only option is to contact NVC, because that is not included the letter, but the invoice number is irrelevant for the K1 process and DS-160, and in my opinion just confusing the K1/K2 applicants.

No they will all be under the same case number. When case is processed at the Embassy, there will be NVC case number and 001, 002 and 003 following the case number. You will still see the status for all entries using the NVC case number
