Receive 4 electronic NOA's for AOS

[la2011 5]

Hello all,

I sent in my concurrent I-130 & I-485 AOS application from a TN visa based on marriage and today I received 4 different emails from USCIS with 4 different receipt numbers saying my case had been received and routed to the National Benefits Center for processing. Why 4 notices? Is that normal?

I tried to check my status case online with all 4 receipt numbers but they all said my case couldn't be found. Also, none of the 2 checks for the I-130 and I-485 have been cashed, kinda weird. You'd think they'd cash the checks before sending in notices??

Any ideas on this? I got all excited to get my notices but when I logged in and it said the case couldnt be found, my heart kinda sank !

I saw someone on this board say "USCIS works in mysterious ways". I could not agree more

In my experience, yes that's normal - that you received 4 different emails with different receipt numbers (they're for each thing you applied for...your 485, EAP, EAD and I forget the other one, sorry, been a while). Also normal that their website isn't up to date, and that your cheques haven't been cashed yet. That's the wacky way they seem to work! It'll all come together but perhaps not in the most logical order.

I think you should be excited, congratulations! I'm sure your cheques will be cashed, the website will reflect the right/same status as your emails eventually. That was the case with me anyway.

I'm just excited they received my package and they're actually working on it

Have any poutine lately? I'm going home when my AP comes in. Should I bring you back a can of poutine gravy? You know, the real taste from the place

[Darnell 8,478]

Oh man, I made a batch Weds, actually, had a poutine party with some of my Canadien frenz...

Now, I hadn't mentioned poutine in _this_ post, suffice it to say I've been experimenting with the gravy making. So far, a mix of 1/3 venison drippings, 1/3 beef, 1/6 pork, 1/6 turkey - is really getting close to the real thing. Tis not the real thing, I know, but my fun comes with the experimenting...

Darnell: thats so awesome that you're making your own and trying different flavors! I'm French Canadian and I've never even made my own. I just buy it lol I should be ashamed of myself haha

is still possible to 'rent a life', you know..

Hey, that's great, fast too! Now you can relax and look forward to the next stage, it'll be over soon. Now that I've got my green card I have to laugh at how stressed out I used to get about everything - it really was just lack of control, hated waiting and waiting and waiting - had I just given it up to the gods think I would've felt better. Don't worry, it'll all happen, maybe not as fast as you'd like but it will.

Thank you so much for your kind and encouraging words, I really appreciate it! It's so true that its all about patience, which, of course, doesnt happen to be my best asset

It's nice change from the posts of some angry and belligerent members on this board
