We didn't use a lawyer, we assembled the package ourselves. How did you mail the package? (USPS, Fedex) Did you fill out form G-1145 (not necessary but would have gotten you electronic notification)?

If you didn't overnight the package, and you didn't fill out the e-notification form, you are probably just fine, it can take a while for your letters to arrive. Have your checks been cashed?

I was confused about why there were 2 posts about the same.

I just noticed the link you provide is for people applying AOS from family visa. And this one from others... Since I came with ESTA I think this is the correct one for me , but anyways I'm glad you posted that one too so there are more similar cases to follow and have an idea of dates :)

I am happy for you, I used USPS was regular mail, so cheap lol..., I did fill out form G-1145, I did not use overnight option. personal checks are not cashed yet. I am just wondering if we did something wrong...I already saw some places where they were stating that you have to fill al spaces with none or not applicable when filling the I-130. we left some areas blank that were not applicable, we did not explain the pictures, or attach the passports to the forms...just way to nervous. :cry:

As long as you included all of the supporting evidence required, you should be ok whether or not it is "attached" - as long as it is in the packet, you're ok. I've never heard of having to write "NA" in every single blank. Which pictures did you not explain? I didn't write a ton of information on our photographs.

Did you get a tracking number or any way to know when or if it was delivered? If not I wouldn't be too worried yet, it took a couple of days after ours was delivered to even get the text messages, and even more days before the hard copies came.

We didnt write "none" left so many blank spaces!! There are only a couple questions where they exactly tell you if nothing write none or write you name in caps. You will be fine.

We send pictures when had on our phones or computer. Put them all together in the computer and write under every picture the date and place where it was ( no more explanation ) and in every page there are a few pictures, so it would be easy to look at.

If you didn't write explanation it will be ok they will maybe ask you at the interview where was it or who is these blah blah and you will know the answers :)
