We filed AOS on Aug 27th and we still haven't heard anything from USCIS. No msg/email NOA1 no nothing :(

It only took 3 days to receive an email NOA 1 when we filed I-129F. Does AOS take longer? Is this normal? how long does it take regularly?

Thank you in advance!

In our case was 15 bussiness days.... be patient... sometimes it takes longer because they transfer the case to another center... ours was sent to the Missouri one (National Benefit Center)

I assume it's totally random. I sent my application in on the 26th, and just received 4 email notifications from USCIS this morning with case numbers for the I485, I130, I131 & I765. My I485 was routed to the National Benefits Center. That's pretty fast, considering Monday was a public holiday.

Hope you hear from them soon.

Usually the noa1 for the gc application takes longer than the i129! People complain about all the time. Mine took 3 weeks!! Actually my biometrics app letter arrived first

It took 7 days for us including weekends. Noa1 is usually expected within 30 days upon submission. You should be good!

There are only two ways to live your life.
One is as though nothing is a miracle.
The other is as though everything is a miracle.
