FINALLY! I know for SURE that I have been transferred to CSC because they cashed my $190 check from my I-130 filing!

I printed the digital image of my check with the CSC endorsement on the back. I feel like a new business owner that frames their first dollar from their first sale!

I sent my I-130 in to Nebraska on 6/30/2006. Up until this time, the only way I knew I was transferred to CSC was because of posters on VJ. Thanks guys!

Now I can "hurry up and wait" for the NOA1...

Question...

There are some other numbers on the back of the check under a special block entitled "For Credit to US Treasury". Those numbers wouldn't happen to be some of the other important jargon I've heard you guys use would they?

i.e. Receipt Number, Case Number, etc...?

Is there a number starting with 3 letters? This is the receipt number that you can use to check online status or anytime you wish to contact USCIS.

Our petition was touched and APPROVED yesterday! Let's hope that USCIS doesn't screw up in transferring our case to NVC.

~22,000 of them, according to USCIS.

If that's the case, then the demographers should be expecting a baby boom as soon as all these couples are reunited at last.

Good thing for America!!!!!! I was reading a report few weeks ago in paper as how the average population is aging out. Yes we need a baby boom.

Approved I-130 today. Way to go CSC!!!!

Thanks for the response. On the back of the check it looks "something" like this (some numbers altered):

For Credit to U.S. Treasury

DOJ/USINS X4 1234567890

072106 WACNPT01 70-01-0103

WAC0612345678

Thanks for the response!

Probably while you were responding, I left my office to go get my mail, and to my surprise... NOA1 in the mail!

Your timeline says that you flew on the 7/23 (with your visa) to be with your husband! CONGRATULATIONS!

I also noticed on your timeline that you didn't do a K-3 (unless I missed it). I was just curious what your rationale was, since I am now considering that also... (I apologize because you may have previously posted the answer a dozen times)...

for the NOA1

As for deciding on the CR-1. We had originally wanted to file the I-129F to cover our bases. At the time CR-1's and K-3's were in many cases on par with each other making doing the K-3 almost worthless. Once our I-130 was approved in around 42 days we decided the K-3 wasnt worth it as the CR-1 would mean no adjustment of status, would have SSN and be able to work straight up etc. If you read the AOS forum it can be a preverbial pain in the butt and can take up to a couple of years depending on your local office. We just didnt want that hassle. We did procrastinate a little too with the NVC stage and on looking back, the K-3 at the time would of only gotten me here to the US a couple of months earlier if that. Well worth the wait.

GO AUSSIE...GO AUSSIE!!! I am in such a good mood because I keep getting touched!!! OOOOOOOO that just sounds sooooooooooo RUDE lol I can't help but to be OPTIMISTIC because I keep reading about ppl getting approved shortly after their transfers. And once again I was "TOUCHED" last night. Soooooooooo...I can't wait to see what happens tonight. I thought that I would not want to wait, but the fact that Ian's house still isn't sold, makes it easier for us to wait.

Goodluck to all and keep up the positive MORALE!!!!
