worried, need some enlightenment..

Hello everyone..

My husband sent the papers for adjustment of status last October 12th and he's freaking out because until now the check hasn't been cashed, its been 10 days and he taught its not normal.. Here's the thing, the check is payable to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security but he wrote Department of Homeland Security omitting the U.S. instead. We also included form G-1145 E-Notification of Application and until now we didnt received any email..

My question is this:

Assuming that everything is ok, no problem with the check. It does really take time for them to cashed it?

Why we didn't received an e-mail, the fact that they received the packet last oct 14th according to UPS tracking?

If the check is wrong what will happened to our application?

Any answers will be appreciated..Thank you

There's no problem, they time to do everything. I would wait a little longer, maybe a week or so before you might be concerned. Officially I believe 30 days is when you can call to find out what's going on and put in a request.

October 14 was the day USPS delivered the package to the Chicago lockbox. USCIS needs at least a week to inspect the contents of the package to make sure everything is there. IF they decide not to cash your check the entire package will be returned, and you will just have to mail it back...normally they return packages if the amount is incorrect...I could be wrong, but I think there shouldn't be a problem. They would have returned it too if it read USDHS.

Give it up to 14 days, minimum. Amykathleen is right...if it takes an unusually long time, then that's a reasonable time to wonder (if not panic). Also watch out of the check is cashed, if it is then you will get notification soon after.
