Our check is not yet cashed ..... i hope its not because SO stapled it to a blank paper:(... he was so concern it might get lost so he stapled it and then put additional paper clip to really secure it:( it wont cause any problems if check have staple marks on it right?

No, it won't affect the check at all. Good luck!

Well, nothing yet... no NOA1, check not yet cashed, not even a sign of the return receipt from USPS... but im pretty sure we will have it in due time.

Btw, approvals for november filers are already rolling in.... lets pray that by the end of this month we would be seeing december filers get approved which means we are next in line

It took two weeks from sending my package to receipt of NOA1...hang in there!

I've learned during the short time I've been through this process that there's no rhyme or reason to it...I think it's the universe telling me to "learn patience."

Thank you very much for the morale support guys... we'll be hanging here fully loaded with supplies :pop: :pop: :pop:

i just hope vsc won't take so long or else id be 500pounds heavier by the time we get the noa1 and then gain another 1000pounds by the time we get noa2 :pop: :pop: :pop:

At those kind of weight gain rates you should be very glad that you didn't have to file at the CSC - with the extra weight there, you might be considered an endangered mammal and pushed into the ocean. I wish the CSC was at the same avg wait from NOA1 to approval as VSC. Seriously, reading the posts of all those in the process and who are just getting their approvals is very inspirational. This is a great community. Best of luck to all January filers - I hope we are all 90 day wonders.

It's been exactly 4 weeks since I mailed our petition... that means 28 days already gone!!

[Alex & Rachel 78]

To be honest I'm rather hoping I'm not a 90 day wonder! I'm starting to worry about having saved up enough money for my move to the US...if it's delayed a couple of months that's another two months' precious earnings!

So I'll wish you all the best and say I hope you all get approved in around 90 days and that I'm very happy to be January's glutton for punishment

Given the recent approvals from CSC, i think they are gradually getting their act together. Correct me if I'm wrong but aren't there several september filers and 1 or 2 CSC october filers who got approved already?

We don't know each other but going through the same process, it is easier to empathize with each other like best friends. I'd be very very very happy if I'd get approved really really fast but I'd honestly be happier if I would see all January filers get approved without a glitch as just as fast! (NO JANUARY FILER LEFT BEHIND!).... now, i would be happiest if I could see all those whose been waiting way back in june or earlier get approved very soon also, they deserved it. We've been in the process in only a couple of weeks and it is already frustrating.. how much more to those whose been waiting for like eternity already.

Best of luck to us all!

OUR CHECK WAS CASHED ALREADY!!! WOOHOOO!!! and my big bear received the USPS returned receipt also... i was just wondering why usps online tracking said our file was delivered Jan. 31 while the returned receipt had Feb. 1 as received date stamped on it?

BTW guys, this will probably sound like a very stupid question but how did you get your canceled check with receipt number back?

I think for most on this board they looked up their canceled check online. On the back where the service center endorses your check should be a case number with letters & numbers.
