Embassy doesn't tell you about your NOA1.

USCIS does.

My Advice is usually based on "Worst Case Scenario" and what is written in the rules/laws/instructions. That is the way I roll... -Protect your Status - file before your I-94 expires.

Embassy is DOS - your petition is at USCIS.

If you paid by check, you might be able to obtain your case/receipt number from the back of the canceled check - otherwise you could simply call or hang in there - it will come (I know a month seems like a long time - but it's on par for USCIS these days). :thumbs:

They won't be able to help you much without your case number.

Did they cash your check?

They haven't even cashed the check yet...

I was hoping for a notice that would say my package had been opened. I sent it with delivery confirmation, so I know it's there... sitting on someone's desk somewhere with a mulititude of others.

Unfortunately this is pretty common (late NOA1 and/or check not cashed in a timely fashion) - best to assume the best. :thumbs:

I sent it to:

USCIS

California Service Center

P.O. Box 10130

Laguna Niguel, CA 92607-0130

It was sent with the post office with delivery confirmation. I know that it's been received.. I'm more concerned if they've began work on it.
