My husband received his notice in the mail today.  I think the NOA1 date is May 30th.  The received date was May 25th.  Now we have to send in the EAD and AP forms and see how that goes.  We also have to wait for the biometrics appointment.  It'll be interesting to see how the next steps of this process go.

We are in the same boat. We sent  ours on 5/18. J chyba signed for it and we still haven't heard anything. I"ve seen at least one person who sent theirs in after the 18th and they received their NOA1 in the mail already.   

Same person signed for mine on 5/24 and nothing... no text, email, carrier pigeon... nothing.

Hmmm......... I wish I knew more about their process after they receive the documents at the lockbox. 

How are files sorted /distributed? 

Do you have specific people handling files from specific states /areas?

Is it first come - first serve?

 

 

All these questions are swirling around in my head because why some people only wait a week to get a reply vs others waiting 3, 4 weeks and more is NOT always clear.

My case status online hasn’t been updated since they received my case. Let’s hope for a speedy process!

For those who are waiting for a receipt for more that 2 weeks (like myself), I found this on the uscis site:

 

 

10.1     Receipting and Acceptance Processing.

(a) Receipting of Applications and Petitions at Service Centers .

The procedural steps below pertain to applications and petitions in general. Since all service centers have contractor personnel handling mail, file and data entry, this segment deals with receipting requirements only in very general terms. The service centers have specific, detailed, written operating procedures (SOPs) which describe the functions to be performed by contractor personnel within the scope of the support services contract. These SOPs are included as appendixes to this manual. Proceed to the instructions for any individual form type to review the special instructions for that form. 

(1) Open In-coming Mail; Deposit Fees .

Since in-coming mail often contains fees, the in-coming mail room is a secure area, with access limited to specified personnel. Mail should be opened the same day it is received. When this is not possible, arrangements must be made to record the actual date on which the mail is received from the post office or private courier so that the receipt date can later be recorded on the application or petition itself. The receipt date is important to ensure fair, chronological processing and to enable efficient c ase tracking. Most importantly, the receipt date may be critically important in determining an applicant’s legal eligibility for a particular benefit. It is important that all mail be opened; fees removed, logged and deposited; and initial data entry completed as soon as possible. 

(2) Screen for Applications and Petitions Which Must Be Rejected .

Did anyone include photographs of your wedding in the AOS package? I have the bare bones but seems lack compared to the K1 package 

Not sure if anyone answered you (couldn't find it in the thread), but no you don't need photos of wedding in the AOS package. The marriage certificate should be proof enough. You can however bring it to the interview for the GC.
