I just filed my I-130/AOS package to the Chicago Lockbox today (02/25/2012) and wondered how many other recent concurrent filers there are here? I thought that it might be interesting and beneficial to share dates with each other for the various steps (NOA1, NOA2, Biometrics etc).

FWIW, I came to the U.S. from the UK back in December of 2007 on an F1 visa, married my U.S. spouse in October 2010, had our "white wedding" one year later in October 2011 and filed the Forms with the I-765 today. Filed the Forms to the Chicago Lockbox, but my regional USCIS office will be in Denver.

Respond to this thread if you have filed or will be filing within the next week or so. It would be great to know gauge timelines and not wonder if it is "taking too long"-- :rofl:
