Yes, more often than not.
Good thank you. I'm nervous because one can never predict when they set the interview date. Sometimes after +20 days and sometimes just after a few days.

Good morning.
When I checked the status of money order from USPS website, it says it has been cashed. (DV payment, $330)
Today I emailed KCC and they said "KCC has received your request however, the payment has not been received. Please allow 2 to 3 weeks for payment processing."
Is there something wrong, or does it take some time that payment is processed even after the payment is cashed? I thought "payment cashed in" means it was processed.

@Sm1smom I have a question, do I understand correctly that they start invite for interviews (or waived interviews) in the order of numbers, that is, if there are 3 cases in the New York office (or another FO), for example CN is 2000, 3000 and 4000, then most likely they will be invite starting with 2000, then 3000 and then 4000. If this is the pattern?

Processed means records of it have moved through the kcc system. Cashing it is only the first step.

No. CN only determines when you can file. After that it's meaningless.

No, CN ranking is irrelevant at that point. CN ranking is only used for determining when an applicant is eligible to file for AOS. Several other factors come into play after that, such as: the assigned FO, background check clearance, workload of assigned IO, KCC file receipt, etc. It is possible for a CN4000 range applicant to complete background check clearance long before a CN1000 range applicant does, if that happens, the CN4000 applicant's case gets adjudicated while the CN1000 range applicant remains pending.
Thanks for clarification.

Hey there, got our receipts yesterday, noticed case numbers start with MSC*
Though I-485 packages were sent to Phoenix, AZ and our field office is in Seattle, WA
Out of curiosity, do you have an idea why cases travel across the country? Is it due to managing USCIS workload or smth else

What makes you think cases are traveling across the country? What were you expecting your receipt # to start with?

"MSC - Missouri Service Center (now known as National Benefits Center)"
That made me think case was transferred to Missouri
Looks like it's just National Benefits Center code

Yep, that's the NBC code. All the cases go through the NBC regardless of the Lockbox that originally received the package.

Hey @Sm1smom ! I have a quick question for you:
I have two first names. My full name is like Homer Bart Simpson. On my passport, employment letters, visa, education records, birth records, all like that. I have no middle name.
On my I-94, it only shows one of them, Homer Simpson. When I fill the I-94 information part in I-485 form, I followed this and typed only Homer Simpson. All other parts, the initial page, etc I used both names.
Do you think I should contact somewhere tp fix my I-94 and include both my first names, or am I overthinking again?

Hi! I sent mine to Phoneix, AZ too, as my field office is in Boise, ID. My notice also starts with MSC.
Hi. I read the AOS process spreadsheet but I'm still a bit confused how early filing works. For example, I see from the March 2025 "upcoming VB" published yesterday that:
- For March, EU CN is 13,000
- For April, EU CN is 16,000
According to Volume 7, Part G, Chapter 2, Section 2C(2) of the USCIS Policy Manual it says that:
“A selectee may file an AOS application when the selectee’s CN is below the appropriate regional CN cut-off in either:
• The current month’s DV availability chart; or
• The advance notification chart for the next month.”
1. Does this mean that a selectee with EU 15,000 can mail their AOS application today (Feb 12)?
2. If not today, what is earliest date they can mail it in this example?
3. Once mailed by the appropriate advance date, does this mean USCIS will start working on their AOS case in April (in my example)? Meaning fingerprints, etc. will only happen after April 1?
