Just got done reading all those 8 previews pages lol

now are my questions!:

We are doing the same, but we are having the wedding in Taiwan with my family (not including my friends in Argentina, where I lived for 20 years...)

Thank God I read this, and I saw that my I-485 expired! Now need to struggle again, and re file it again, and print it. SMH

I copied the first address too.. So it needs to go to the PO Box rather than the other address?

You can use either address. It depends on your shipping method.

USCIS Chicago Lockbox

For U.S. Postal Service (USPS) deliveries:

USCIS

PO Box 805887

Chicago, IL 60680-4120

For Express mail and courier deliveries:

USCIS

Attn: FBAS

131 South Dearborn - 3rd Floor

Chicago, IL 60603-5517

For instance I used express so I sent mine to the Dearborn address. If you want to use USPS then the lockbox is more suitable. Personal choice really but neither is incorrect. Whichever you send it to it'll still be delivered as they both receive applications. Like I said above it depends on your shipping method for what address is preferred.

Received 3 text messages and emails tonight!

We still waiting for our NOA1... They received it on the 8th December ?

xbritto, did you use check or money order to pay? Ours was received on December 10, and we are still waiting too, monkeys. I remember when I sent off our I-129F, I was getting depressed at how long I was waiting for the NOA1 text! Looking back, it wasn't that long at all; but I am having a hard time reminding myself of that now! LOL! Calm down, self!!!



Signature coming soon...

Btw, someone who's field office is Saint Paul, MN, filed their AOS with NOA date of October 23rd, was approved for their I-1551 yesterday! That's 55 days or 1 month and 24 days! I don't know how many of us will get the same results, but that makes the EAD/AP unnecessary. Just another reason for us (really me...) to be patient. We just may be surprised in the end! (F)

I don't think so, but someone was saying their AP document was being processed before they received their biometric letter. It could be possible....but I doubt it. I have yet to see it anyhows.

Gosh, I'm so nervous about everything haha.

I'm nervous that I sent a check instead of a money order NOA1 might take longer.

I'm nervous that I'll never get an NOA1, and as a result never get the RFE's they might send.

I just took my written driving exam, I was nervous that I'd fail.

Now I'm nervous about the driving portion of the driving exam ??

I'm a nervous wreck. LOL!
