AOS was Approved in 61 days. K1 visa, applying for AOS Got married Feb 14, 2023 Sent i-485, i-684, i-765, and i-131 together to Chicago Lockbox on March 14, 2023 The packet was received on March 16, 2023 NOA 1 were issued for all of these forms on March 23, 2023, from the field office, Lee's Summit, MO Biometric Notice issued on March 24, 2023, for April 11, 2023 RFE issued for initial evidence on March 30, 2023, for forms i-684 and i-485. This was my printing mistake. My printer did not print the last line on the form where it says the edition date and the serial number of the form. I was asked to print them again and send them. They did accept the originally submitted form and started processing them. My advice when you are filling out the form is do not just start filling the form online. Download the form on your computer and make sure that you open it using Adobe and fill it up. That way you will not encounter any form fill-up or printing mistakes. I could have avoided this mistake and avoided the RFE all the way. I uploaded RFE response on USCIS online account the next day and sent the hard copy within 48 hrs. "RFE response received" case status was updated on April 5, 2023 Biometric was done on April 11, 2023, Case status changed to "Actively Processing" right away. Form i-765, EAD , Work Authorization, Approved on April 13, 2023 EAD physical card received in the mail on April 24, 2023 i-485 status changed to "Approved" on May 16, 2023 (Total 61 days from the received date, March 16, 2023) i-485 status changed to "Card Produced" on Friday, May 19, 2023 Today is Sunday, May 21, 2023, waiting to receive the physical card in the mail. I find the "Case Tracker" App very useful for a quick update on your status. I also find USCIS online account very useful too for case status and downloading the letters/notices and uploading the response.

There are many ways. Official way is go to this site : https://ceac.state.gov/CEACStatTracker/Status.aspx Other than this, there are two Apps, CASE TRACKER and LAWFULLY. download these or one of these on your iphone, fill up your case number, they'll notify you immediately as soon as your status changes. This is much more convenient and practical way to know your status.

I filled up DS-160 as soon as status turned "Ready" Most of the embassies don't send anything.
