I just got an email from State Department (addressed to my lawyer) with the AOS and IV fee bill invoices attached. The invoices were billed to me (and my wife for IV) and reference a NVC case number, so it doesn't look like I received somebody else's bill (that would've been adding insult to injury...). :-)

Anyway, it looks like my petitions have been approved, though I have yet to receive any updates from USCIS. My last touch was on November 16, which I assume is my NOA2 date. I will update my timeline when I receive the actual NOA2 letters, but I wanted to share a data point as I understand everyone's so very data-hungry when it comes to USCIS.

BTW, this won't be a surprise to most of you, but the USCIS website still shows "initial review" for my petitions...
