Took the Lockbox 20 days to send me the Receipt notice via text message.
Surprisingly i got an RFIE because some of my documents and forms were missing more likely due to the lockbox incompetence. But luckily i had them saved digitally so i uploaded them to my USCIS account the following day.
2nd RFE : Was surprised we received another RFE this time to prove marital status from the time we got married until now. We submitted the following : Apartment lease with both our names
Bank Transfers between us both

Initially this was filled with my I-485 but was rejected because of "incorrect filing fee" which shouldn't have been the case since its free under C (0)(9) category so i re-sent the form as is with a cover letter letting them know why it was free alongside a screenshot of the received case status from the USCIS website since at the time i haven't received my receipt notice for the I485 as yet.

| Embassy Review : |
The experience was quick and easy , the interview lasted 10 mins , The CO was very kind and the interview process felt more like a conversation we are a gay couple so i directed to a private room. The questions the CO asked were standard , who is filing for me , where they from , how did we met , how old are they , do they have any siblings and some questions about me , where do I work how old am I , do I plan to work in the same career field in the US. And if my family know I’m leaving the US to get married Then I was told I was approved. They took my passport and I was on my way out |

*Notice about estimates: The estimates are based off averages of other members recent experiences
(documented in their timelines) for the same benefit/petition/application at the same filing location.
Individual results may vary as every case is not always 'average'. Past performance does not necessarily
predict future results. The 'as early as date' may change over time based on current reported processing
times from members. There have historically been cases where a benefit/petition/application processing
briefly slows down or stops and this can not be predicted. Use these dates as reference only and do not
rely on them for planning. As always you should check the
USCIS processing times to see if your application
is past due.
