getting receipt number/case number from Money Order?

[NonyGuy 0]

I NEVER use checks, so I used to a Post Office Money Order to pay my $170.00 fee. I keep hearing of the number being on the back of cancelled checks...but what can I do in my case to get the number?

I want to sign up for email updates as soon as I possibly can.

If you haven't received a NOA1 in a month then phone USCIS for your receipt number.

You can wait for the NOA1.

One reason to use a personal check is that you do get them back or at least the bank will scan and provide you with a way to see the scans. Money orders don't provide you with this ability.

You will have to wait for NOA1 to arrive in the mail.

Cochran, I too use money orders when mailing a payment for something. Never use checks. Either with my card or moneyorders. I sent a money order with my package to VSC on the 14th of this month. I have also noticed people mentioning dates stamped on the back of cashed checks along with their newly assigned case number. Your post got me thinking and so I decided to research a little. If you call 1-800-999-9660 you get into Western Union's Money Order Customer Service. they have options for checking the status of money orders and tracking. I would imagine that the money order you purchased at the bank has something similar. If you kept the receipt portion of the actual money order, there will be a "check" number and a phone number. My advice would be to call that number. You may even be able to talk to a real person and ask them if there is a receipt number from USCIS attached to it. To my surprise, when I called Western union, VSC has yet to cash mine....

Its been more than a week since they received mine and have not cashed the money order?? Oh well...... Anyway, hope this helps you.
