does anyone know how to check if a postal money order has been cashed?

We sent an USPS Money Order with our AOS, and I did extensive research on how to track it, but there is no way. Only if you think it got lost, you can go to your local post office and file a request to have that investigated.

UGGGG this is soooo nerve wrecking!!!! :angry:

I'm with you on that one! :thumbs: Our package arrived at uscis on 28th too. Since then, i have been waiting on the mail every day! :wacko:

We sent ours fees using a cashiers check from the bank and I don't think there is any way to track if they have cashed it or not yet. Hoping the NOA's arrive this week.

That's a good idea about the 1-693 on the spreadsheet! I had read horror stories on vj with problems some people had, trying to find a civil surgeon to transcribe the vaccination records onto the 1-693 and was apprehensive about going ahead with it.

But i was fortunate to find a civil surgeon locally who did it for $40 but the doctor also said I had to have a blood test done too to make sure that I was completely immune to the measles/mumps one and that cost another $40.

I didn't get the TB skin test done though, as i had already had the TB xrays done in New Zealand. So I could receive an RFE for not supplying it.

i think im even more anxious because i put the wrong code on my i765...i just hope i get 3noa1 instead of a rejection package!!!!!!! maybe we'll get our noas on the same day!!!

Chibby, could you update on the spreadsheet that I didn't send that medical form from a doctore but only the vaccination worksheet. For some reason, I cant edit the spreadsheet with my new computer :(

The thing is its 2 different cases. His H1 B is up for a renewal/ transfer AND in CSC & so it is for the rest of his co-workers. It doesn't matter anymore cos we have filed for the I-485 & Employment authorisation and the I-130 has been approved.

Yes, you can fill it in by yourself. The link to the spreadsheet is in my signature, once you click, there should be an "Edit this page"-link in the lower left corner of the spreadsheet. If you don't know how to do it, you can write me your dates and I'll fill it for you.
