Question about checking to see if my money order has been cashed

[wjr 3]

Ok, I am sorry if this is a stupid question, but it is worrying me a little now. I keep seeing people talking about checking to see if the money order or check has been cashed. If I sent my petition in on Aug 15th and received a notice that they have got it on Aug 17th, and I have not heard anything or have not been touched or nothing since, should I see if the money order I sent was cashed? Or should I assume that everything has been cashed and is going the way it should be (just doing the waiting thing like everyone else. Someone please let me know if I should check to see if it was cashed. If by chance they have not cashed it what does that mean? Thanks in advance, WJR.

that notice you got was the NOA1, that means that they received your case and cashed your money order. So everything is going fine... just slowly.

im a little concerned, a 2 day turn around for a noa is very fast, this wasnt the postal service notice was it?

did you get a letter like this?

I do not think that was his NOA1 notice, but sounded more like the receipt notice from the mail service used.

wjr- Hvae you received in the mail a letter from the Department of Homeland Security confirming receipt of your case? (this is the NOA1) It usually arrives by regular mail in 2-4 weeks after submitting the petition. If you have not received it by now, there is a problem. Can you verify if the money order has been cashed? with personal checks the offical case number is printed on the back - not sure if this will work for money orders.

Don;t worry just yet. It could be as simple as the NOA1 lost in the mail. Good luck

Actually No, I did not receive that, On Aug 15th We sent the petition off, then on Aug 17th my lawyer e-mailed me saying; The USCIS has received our petition and here is you Receipt number WACXXXXXXX.

Ok here is the deal, We sent our petition out on Aug 15th, then we receive an email from our lawyer saying that the USCIS has received our petition and this is your receipt number WAC XXXXXXX. Now I have just finished calling Western Union to find out if my money order has been cashed, it was on Aug 25th. So should I still be worried? I still have not received anything in the mail from them, thanks, WJR.

your fine

the WAC number was taken off your noa1, so that means your in the system and all is good.

why dont you see if the lawyer has the paper noa1? i dont even know how much you need the paper copy, but im sure they could resend if it has been lost in the post.

glad to hear all is ok and hopefully wont be too long before you get some good news

edit: and with that number you can sign upto the online service to keep tabs on your case, sadly i dont have the link to hand, but its on here somewhere!

I had it to hand as I was just pointlessly checking our case status, even though the NOA1 only arrived about a week ago.

Thank you so much for answering in such true sincerity of really wanting to help. I have actually already signed up for the case status check. I am also hoping that they does something with my case already, I would be happy if they would just spill coffee on it and have to scan it just because they touched the damn thing. At least I would know that they have not forgotten about it......lol, thank you again, WJR.

I am so glad to hear this mystery is resolved and you have a case number. Back to waiting now...hope it is a short wait!
