NOA1 is enough for drivers license?

Here in South Carolina yes. I checked the DMV website and ask about it over the phone, too.

We are the same date :). Mine got there on 13th as well. Did you receive emails? I just did.

I received my emails last night (all three) and they are currently cashing the check for the biometrics fee (started that on the 21st). I'm able to access my case on the USCIS.gov page but haven't received my texts yet (but that's not bothering me at all). I'm interested to see how long it takes to get the different applications processed!

I like your username, thorin.

Why thank you! I am a big fan of anything Middle Earth and was watching The Hobbit whilst creating this account/reading this forum

I received my three emails last night at around 10pm but no texts (which I'm not worried or bothered about). I'm interested to see when my NOA1 arrives in the post as from this forum a lot of the members are consistently getting a somewhat speedy response from the USCIS! 

 

Now I can more or less relax whilst the AOS process happens in the background whilst I try and get better settled in the U.S. as I'm waiting for banking accounts to be set up and my AB-60 to come in the post. 

I hope all is well with you guys. Thanks for the regular posts/updates as it makes this whole kerfuffle feel less stressful.

To my dear folks who got their NOA1 texts and emails I say a very big congratulations to you all, the next stage will sure come successful too.

 

For the USCIS address, I feel not adding the Chicago Lockbox to your package address will lead to rejection  of your applications and forms, I think it lies also on the team assigned your case to who may have lots of package before them to attend to, be a little more patient and keep it positive. I know you all will break the good news. good luck to us all.

 

Fingers crossed and ears itching for more great news and updates.

So if I understand the process correctly, once you send an AOS package to the Chicago Lockbox facility, their job is to basically sort out the package.  Meaning, they make sure all the forms are correct, signed and all documents required are there.  They put it all neatly in a package such as 2-hole punch etc...  Once everything is correct, then they send out the package to the local Service Center which starts the process.  Am I correct?

I just wanted to say, my NOA1 took 20 days(which it is usually 9 days but apparently there is backlog stuff.). So don't worry guys, it will come.

How long does it take to receive the NOA hard copies in mail 

[Abhi138 20]

Congratulations and yes patience is the key during this process. It can be very tough but again there is not much that can be done.

Hi I got my AOS whole package delivered at Chicago lockbox on March 3rd (mailed out on the 1st). Till now on March 23rd, I havent got any receipt notification yet from them. Its been 20 days. I am so frustrated!!! I sent them an email the day before yesterday, but no response yet. I saw a couple of persons here filed theirs at the same time, and got receipts almost 10 days after. What should I do? Is there anyone havent got receipt yet???

 

I lost my USPS tracking number, but I checked on March 3rd, it was delivered. And an odd thing I wasnt paying attention earlier that on my USPS receipt, the zip code is 60680-4187 instead of 60680-4120. The last four digits were different. I dont remember other details on the tracking receipt.

 

Am I screwed? I need helps!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

I just called USCIS 1-800-375-5283. I told the operator what is going on. And she transferred me to an immigration officer saying she/he will help me to find my receipt. Then the next automatic voice saying I have to wait in line for 280 minutes, geeeeezzzzzzzzz. So I scheduled a call back call when one operator is available....Getting more and more stressful everyday......
