Update:

We received our NOA1 and seemed to have been assigned Nebraska (when I check our status online), on the hard copy of the receipt it says Potomac in the footer :) Our priority date is September 21, 2020 which sounds weird? I am still confused about what a priority date is but I expected it wouldn't be in the past? Perhaps this is a typo.
