I can login now to CEAC, about 65 hrs after receiving my email. Email received: Jan 21 7:00pm Able to login: Jan 24 12:30pm

Hopefully soon! Here's the automated sender email so you can make sure it doesn't go to Spam: national_visa_center@state.gov I then received another information email that just links to the NVC website on the visa process flowchart. That automated sender is: nvc-do-not-reply@state.gov

@Jeshua Yes, I received an email on Saturday night (JAN 21 2023) with my Case ID and Invoice ID. However, I have been unable to login to the CEAC website with that information. I get the error: "The selected Case Number and Invoice Identification Number combination you entered does not match our records. Please try again or contact the National Visa Center for further assistance." From my research online, some people have had to wait a couple of days before they were actually able to login. I know Mondays is when the NVC updates their processing time page, so I'm hoping they do whatever database updates they need to do in order for me to be able to login.

Another approval to report, so hopefully good news soon for the rest of the April people waiting: Priority Date: April 26 2022 (started in Texas and then transferred at some point to Nebraska) I-130 Approval: January 18 2023

I originally talked to an immigration lawyer at Boundless who said that an I-485 AOS application would run separately from, and not invalidate, an I-130 application? Basically "two coals in the fire" or "two horses running the race". I'm not 100% sure if that's accurate, based on what people are saying in this post. So, if the I-130 is approved while OP (original poster) is still in the US within his 6 months, what should his course of action be? 1) Submit I-485 since he's in the country, and accept not being able to work for 8+ months? 2) Proceed with the DS-260, and wait 8+ months for the NVC to approve and for an interview in Canada?
