No NOA1 yet. Sent November 5 2010

Thanks to all experienced contributors that are always willing to offer advice. A friend of mine sent in an I130 petition for her mom on November 5,2010 by federal express and it was signed for and delivered on November 9, 2010. She also signed the form for email and text notifications. Till date, she has not received NOA1. She sent in a cashier's check so she doesn't know if the check has been cashed or not? It's been a little over 3 weeks since they received it, should she be worried and what do you advise her to do? Thanks.

I would not say that she should completely worry as yet. It may just be taking them a while to review the incoming mail. Did she keep a copy of the cashiers check? Or at least write down numeric identifier? Wherever the check was drafted should be able to tell if it was cashed, if she can provide the number. That's my best suggestion.

Thanks. I guess she should give it some more time. I'm worried though that she neither received the email nor text notifications of acceptance. I'll tell her to go to her bank to make inquiries about the money order.
