Question on the I-130

[Desire019 0]

Hey guys,

quick question.. I already mailed the petition for the I-130 just wondering do they deduct the $$ from my acount when they recieve the paperwork or when they start working on my application? Reason being is because when I sent out the N-400 for myself 2 years ago the money was deduscted 3 days later not even, and for the I-130 that I sent out over than 2 weeks ago the check has not been voided yet. Just wondering if maype there was a mistake or something missing on the application or do they deduct the money when they start working on my case? Let me know. Thanks

Well looking at your service center, you might of sent it to the wronge place. You have it down as Texas and you should of sent it to the Chicigo lock box and they would foward it to either Vermont or California. That could be why your check hasnt been cashed.

I sent it out to the Chicago lockbox, the adress that is listed on uscis.gov for Florida residents..

Well, I would guess your service center is vermont and in that case, do expect a very long wait. I have heard of many people stuck in VCS hell for months and years when CSC is sending out approvals in 3 months or less. Sorry to tell you bad news here, good luck.
