Case Access Code?

[Skyman 321]

I submitted my wife's I-130 online in mid September.  I wanted to hold on the I-485 until the physical was done and got to that in October.   But the package kicked back because I didn't know it needed an I-944.  In mid December I resubmitted the AOS package with the 944 and I got the receipt notice last week.  It's interesting that the priority date is listed as September 17th which jives with the I-130.  So maybe I didn't lose any time with all the messing around with the physical.  Anyway, I tried to add the receipt number to my USCIS account but it says it's attached to another account so I made my wife an account and try to attach it there.  It's ok with that except it wants an Access Code which was not on the receipt.  Is that something we get later?  If that's the case, about how long is it from receipt to access code?

 

Thanks and Salamat

Ok, so for future info, the I-797 with the Access Code came a couple days later than the 797 receipt.
