Does anyone know the typical amount of time for USCIS to cash the check sent with the petition. I know my lawyer mailed the petition last Thursday (1/12), so although he will receive the notifications, I figured I could also watch my bank account too for any signs of the check being cashed. No sign that they have cashed it yet, but I figured someone here might remember the timeframe between sending the petition and noticing the check was cashed.

Thanks.

USCIS cashed our checks on the 4th day after they received our AOS pack.

I don't know if it would be the same for K1 petition. :)(F)

Thanks guys. I think I will email my lawyer to make sure he knows I'm watching my online checking and haven't noticed the check cashed yet. My petition did have to go from San Diego (where my attorney is based while I'm from NJ) to Vermont Service Center though, and with the holiday last week, I'm not surprised that it might not have been processed yet. But at least I know it's something to stay on top of.

Yes I agree with you there. they don't play with money. yes. Dallas than before Vermont. I just know that the petition's destination will be Vermont since I'm from NJ. So it really should be cashed by next week at the latest I hope.

typically 7-10 days. If your case is rejected for some reason, no signatures or incorrect amont of the check then they just send the whole thing back for correction and the check is not cashed. That takes 2-3 weeks usually, up to 30 days.
