More people here should be impatient, the more other people are, the less impatient I seem ! lol

I'll work on that for you!!! Can you not enlarge (hush Brian! ) your check with photo editing software Nico????

It suprisingly was a decent size , though the Banks scanner was absolute ####### we couldnt tell our J's from 1's ,

We are calling the bank tomorrow in the offchance they have the apper copy of the Cheque, mainly out of worry for my SO's sanity!

Nico... Steven hasn't received the hard copy of the NOA1 yet? Seems it should be there by now. Well, if the check cashed then you know you're there and on your way... i'm sure it will work out.

YES! Our check cashed!! We were actually talking to each other yesterday when I just happened to check the account again for about the 4th time (as Russell's a tad anxious and keeps asking ) and I gasped as I saw my bank account had dropped! I'm still not on my computer (using one of the kids laptops ) and had a reader error so by the time I reinstalled adobe, Russell had already been into the bank account & registered with USCIS. He refreshed the page several times just during our conversation to see if the status has changed! He so cute!

It's even more of a relief now just knowing that the application is there, maybe just collecting dust for now but... it helps knowing they're not sending it back for something foolish (like I forgot to sign the check or something ) that would delay the process even more.

Still nothing for me

Maybe on Monday or something. (crossing fingers)

I'm right there with you Susy; ours should be soon

The programmer in me decided to see if there were any differences in those who's checks took a week compared to those who cashed within days.... doesn't seem to matter. It does feel good seeing the bank account drop, though! I hope yours does tomorrow!

OMG Kim, you're reading my mind. I was just looking at other peoples timelines

who had very quick approvals, to see how quick their checks cleared! hahahahahha

Well, we sent our last Monday (4/21) and it arrived Tuesday (4/22)

so we are a week behind you guys-

So.. maybe it will be cashed by this coming Friday??? ( 5/2)??????

In any case, Im just happy to have it sent and received.

Hi everyone!

I just found this thread and was so excited to see that there are other april filers out there keepin up with eachother! i think this site is amazing for bringing a little piece of mind to a crazy situation...and for sure i could use a little piece of mind! we got our NOA1 on April 10 & were just hoping that this 2ish month trend at VSC will keep up! what do you all think?

Katie

MrsGomes! Great minds.... Today's yours and suzy's day for check cashing!

Welcome Katie, congratulations on getting started. Historically, VSC has been very quick but it seems just when you think you've got this process down... it changes!

I posted the following as a seperate thread hoping for input from some of the experienced VJ'ers, since the question is a little ahead of us April filers.

But I realized that some people like Kim, have been researching for months. I would just hate to waste an opportunity to help my SO gather up the required documents while we are actually together. Here is what I posted:

"I am heading to Guadalajara this week to see my SO. I just filed my K-1 w/Vermont on April 1st. I was wondering since I am there, can I help her fill out the DS156 and DS156k ahead of time.

I know the DS156 is online and generates a bar code. Are these documents time sensitive? In other words, do I have to wait until my NOA2 is issued, or do the online documents have an expiration date?

And is there anything else I can square away while I am down there to make our journey more efficient."

So does anybody have any ideas?

Brian

OK guys nothing yet. This is just a whole bunch of waiting I suppose, lol.

We've waited this long, I guess we can wait a little bit longer hehe

Tuesday is my day! (I hope) LOL

No cashed check for us today either!!

Hopefully tomorrow!!

[KimandRuss 0]

Brian, I know for the USEM in Juarez you fill out the forms online and that there is a bar code generated but i'm not sure if it's time sensitive. I'm sure the folks who are going through that consulate will be able to help you. Maybe use your portal to find someone to PM who recently went through if you dont get an answer soon.

Sorry to hear your still waiting ladies. Ours took 9 days from when VSC received it so not to worry.

Kim was the number on your cheque clearly legible? Great to see your cheque was cashed! , always feels like it takes forever
