I just mailed my application today, I hope everything is fine with it.

My package was received on 1/15 at Texas and received receipt notification via text today 1/21. Now waiting for NOA to arrive in my mailbox..

Just got the NOA in our mailbox. MCS case number, so I guess we are probably going to be stuck with an interview  Our local office is Santa Ana (which is super busy), so probably in for a long wait now.

Does the case number determine whether there will be interview or not? Mine starts with SRC#. When I filed for AOS, it was MSC#.

The three letters indicate your service center. MSC is the National Benefits Center. They normally route petitions that require interviews (like AOS). Having your petition go elsewhere doesn't guarantee no interview, but better probability.

 

There is a trend of previous CR-1s getting interviews as we were only ever interviewed at embassies abroad and not within the US, so you are probably fine.

My local office is also Santa Ana! USCIS hasn't received my package yet but let's hope that neither of us will get an interview.

How would they know so early on if you'll need an interview? I doubt that they've had time to review your paperwork.

am i reading right? is it says 2k pages? Jesus. I am preparing my wife's and it is barely 60 pages.  i guess my 8 month old will play big role in this package  

 

Our Packet is probably at max 60 pages as well. We also have an 8 month old, must be the stage of parenting. haha. Our son was actually born 3 months early so we spent 3 months in the NICU with him (lots of family NICU photos were sent along with some others from the past 2 years).  We hit all the major suggestions for papers/items to be filed for proof of marriage/relationship. Most of the documents of proof that we sent were a page or two max. 

 

Our packet was received 1/16/2020. We already received the extension letter in the mail.

Oooh thanks to your post I checked my account and saw they cashed my check! But I never got a text or email. I'm just happy they got my package I guess! Was getting anxious 😊

Looks like it was yesterday itself. Still no notification btw, even though I included the g-1145 form. 🤷‍♀️
