Hello Guys, 

I received I-797 yesterday. My original application was by mail to Lewisville TX. The receipt number starts with IOE. I thought, TX service center is SRC. Can y'all confirm if this is consistent.

Thanks! The receipt notice does indicate that I will have to do biometric, was hoping they will skip. I haven't received  online access code yet, hopefully will get it soon!

I haven’t received the notice yet, but tI checked the case online and its showing "Biometrics Appointment Was Scheduled"

I should get it anytime soon, also still waiting for the online access code as well.

Had my biometrics done just a while ago in Philly. The status has now changed to "case being actively looked." Hope the next step is soon.

That is indeed moving very fast. Yaaay! How are you preparing for the interview?

My wife is the applicant.  She's using this book, purchased from Amazon:  https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BNL89PK8?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details  I think, by the time of her interview, she'll have mastered all 100 questions.  Also found some sample interview scripts online.  We'll use one or two.  And we'll go through the routine Q&A that covers the items on her application.  It's been a bit humbling for me, a native US citizen, that I could not have aced the civics exam (or maybe even scored 6 out of 10) a few weeks ago.

Oh I see. No worries, thank you for actually sharing on your journey (your wife and you are one 😃). Unless you like discussing politics, then no, it doesn’t mean you should know all that stuff. However, it’s a good experience to challenge one’s knowledge.

 

Thanks for the link, I’ll check it out. I’m  using online versions of the test (any version I find to be interesting). We all got this!

holy moly, that’s really fast. Do you have I-751/ROC pending, or you already have 10-year green card? This is amazingly and wonderfully fast.

A follow up Q. It is tad too early to get anxious, but the status has not changed after the receipt notice was sent message on 21st Feb. I was looking at receipt notice and it was from National benefits center Overland Park, KS.

Is it common for postal mail application to go through NBC? (I still haven't received online access code)

Yes.  My wife entered the US with a 10 year green card.
