Cashing a check...

[mgleason 0]

OK, so maybe I'm getting overly anxious. According to the post office, my packet was received by CSC on mon. and they still have not cashed my check. I know it takes about a week for NOA1, but how long does it take them usually to cash a check. I just want proof that they've actually opened the envelope.

Now I'm gonna go to the gym and work off some of this anxiety.

Thanks,

Matt

Don't worry. Sometimes the NOA1 is issued before the check clears the bank. That' swhat happened in my case. See my signature for details.

This may not be helpful to your mood but you are going to have to get used to a few months of total uncertainty. Read our timeline and notice first how we waited over three weeks before the CSC even opened our envelope and cashed our check. Two more months went by before anything happened at all.

If you call the USCIS Help line they will have nothing useful to tell you and will always provide the WORST possible timeline. They will tell you now how they are currently processing April petitions which untrue.

So you are in a process that the USCIS has deliberately designed to block you from watching or tracking. A daily check of the mail, and after NOA1, the USCIS website for touches is all you can do for the next couple of months.

The good news is that you should also disregard the NOA2 timeline because it is completely skewed by the IMBRA stuff which you have avoided. Best to look at individual cases to get a feel for time to approval. The best action you can take now is to browse this website because there is a WEALTH of great info in a variety of areas. This is a good time to educate yourself about the process. Good luck!!

They also cashed my check after I got my NOA1 which was only a few days, but the check was cashed the next day.
