Hahahahahaha!

A 'lockdown' is when they put all the prisoners back in their cells as some sort of punishment!!!

From the 'lockbox' your petitions will be distributed. EAD and AP will be sent to NBC in Missouri for complete processing. The AOS will go to your local district office where you will eventually be called for your interview.

The first thing you will get are NOA 1's for all 3 petitions. If you want to find out your case numbers (there will be a number for each petition) from the backs of your checks, you can get that info from your bank. But sometimes it takes a couple of weeks for you to be in the USCIS computer, so really you don't gain much time by trying to get the case numbers from the back of your checks. After you have your case numbers (from your NOA's) you can open an account on USCIS.gov similar to what you may have done for the K1.

You'll eventually be called for biometrics, and then your interview.

Have you recently been released from prison? It's the Chicago lockbox. Sorry, I couldn't help myself! :lol:

Anyway, you should receive your NOAs shortly, until then you can check to see if your checks were cashed and try to get your case numbers from the backs of the cashed checks.

Sorry to laugh but that is a good one! It does seem like a "lockdown" to some ... :P . Seriously, you will now be waiting on the receipt notices ( NOA's). Look at a few AOS/EAD timelines. They may be helpful in determining times for your local office.
