Hi guys!

Same here:

I have sent the package to Chicago Illinois on 1st of October 2016 and UPS tracking show that they have signed on 3rd of October 2016.

Today is the 17th and check has not been cashed and no news yet!

Should we worry about it?

looks like it should be cashed any day, there are a few of us like you are,

Check the older forums July and August. There are people in there that are adjusting from F1. I don't think it matters.

Of course it doesn't "matter" =)

But it would be more helpful for them to look in a forum dedicated to their topic (as well or instead of).

joining the club... wife and I mailed her AOS, EAD and AP paperwork this afternoon using Priority Mail w/ tracking. Estimated arrival at their PO Box is Wednesday. Hopefully check will be cashed by Friday and NOA2 will arrive by the end of next week.

Of course a huge thanks to the VJ community. I didn't ask questions directly, but others' posts were very helpful with answering my own questions.

Went through K-1 (I-129F) AOS (I-485) EAD (I-765) AP (I-131) processes. Thanks to the Visa Journey community for their help and support!

We finally got an e-mail/text saying that they received our application on Monday (three times, 11:00PM, 11:30PM, and 12:30AM). Weirdest hours ever. But yay! One step closer and now I'm not so worried that it managed to get lost in the mail.

We are getting ready to file.. Can someone point out the steps they went through already before submission?

Also have a specific question regarding the Civil Surgeon .. we dont need medical exams, just the vaccinations transcribed. In Colombia the Dr absolutely refused to touch anything regarding vaccinations on a K1. I know technically they dont need to with a K1 but most other Countries didnt seem to have any issues.

Thanks all!
