There's an October filers thread in this forum for those who are doing AOS from F-1 visas that is pretty active, but I'll occasionally participate in this to help give other October AOS filers more data points. I keep my signature pretty updated. See below.

I wrote a full detailed account of our AOS process, timeline, AP use, and interview on my blog. You can read it here.

Read our experience clearing immigration with an expired green card and extension letter here.

How long does it usually take to get a receipt # via email or text? I filed G1145 along with my applications.

The package got delivered on Monday 10/26 but I have not seen any email or text. Check has not been cashed either.

Any ideas? Thanks in advance!
