I hope we don't get any RFEs, there are one or two things I wonder about our application so I guess I will find out if we did things correctly.

I got my text/email notice 5 days after the lockbox received my package. So far nothing else, but I don't expect a letter until Monday based on what I've read.

I have a 12 week old myself. It's why I'm thinking of walking in - if it's busy I wouldn't be forced to stay as I would on my appointment day.

I don't exactly how it is determined where I should go for the biometrics, but I checked on the USCIS authorized places in my area and there is one 10 mins from where I live. I hope I can get to schedule the appointment there, like I said, I have no idea how the appointments are set up but I will find out in time.
