Hey Everyone this is our timeline :

 

Package received 8/17

Check processed 9/12

I just got my text message today 9/15  

 

Congrats! This one did take a while. Did you get receipts for all the forms you filed?

I haven't made a timeline yet so here is what I can give so far:

 

-Package sent on 08/17/20

-Package received and signed by USCIS on 08/20/20

-Money Orders cashed out on 09/09/20

-4 Text notifications on 09/13/20

 

Waiting for physical notices ....

 

Good data point for the other money order folks in this thread. Your package receipt and text notification dates are consistent with those of us who had our payment processed 9/5, but your payment posted 9/9, so the money order may take a few additional days to cash after the credit cards/checks assuming the applications were processed at the same time.

Hi guys,

 

My debit card was finally charged yesterday (09/15) in the morning (5am) and in the same day at night (8pm) I received all e-notifications.

 

P.S. My delivery date was 08/17 and package was sent to Dallas Lockbox.
 

Thanks guys for your help.

Did you checks get cashed yet? I don't remember if you posted about that previously or not. 

[DanCode7703 20]

@Carolina G It seems some people that filed in the middle of August are receiving their physical receipts.
Take a look in that spreadsheet that I got from Reddit: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1p6N_nd2Eg6fwgvvZZ9NXI9tP_a-12_Z7lz0-ksmj6DM/edit#gid=1373954802

Yes my check was actually cashed yesterday! Took 28 days! I filed on August 20th. Finally some peace of mind. Awaiting text messages which I should get by this weekend. 

That's great!! I guess I shouldn't be too concerned that I didn't see anything yet then since I filed on the 28th.  I'm hoping that my card will be charged this week or next week then since I filed about a week after you.

Yay! Hopefully your receipts come quickly. Ours took 9 days after cashing, though, so don't worry if you don't see them until next week.

Would not be concerned at all! They're moving slowly but still moving, your date is coming up.

I think we are all gonna be concerned until ours are cashed! Plus I am getting frustrated. Trying to make something of my blog but I can't earn anything right now so it's just sitting there lol.

Hm. Can you learn a skill to help with the blog in the future? Flash photography? Photoshop? SEO? Lots of great free tutorials on the internet these days! I think focusing on things you can't do and have no control over will only feed your frustration..

Congrats Gwen! Do you receive them all the same day in a package or do they sporadically come since each is their own application? Also when was your check cashed/received text messages? 

Yes, all 3 NOAs arrived at the same time, in three envelopes. Card charged 9/2, texts 9/6, but official NOA1 is 9/4

So I just got my receipt numbers. I noticed that my i485 case says on “sept 15 we accepted your case and “we mailed you a notice” is that just a generic message? Seems awfully quick to have mailed my notice as my checks were cashed yesterday. Not that I’m complaining if true. 

In my case, my case status was the same as yours, even before they cashed my I-485 check:  USCIS received my package on 08/03. I chatted with a Live Representative online on Aug 28th and she gave me my receipt number, with which I could look up my case status online. 3 days later, on 09/01, USCIS cashed my I-485 check. I received physical NOAs on 09/11. That was unusual. 

 

Remember guys, with USCIS, there is not black or white, but a grayscale.

I think it's an automatic update in the system and not necessarily tied to mailing. Our I-130 status message says received and notice mailed on 8/21 (and even includes the instruction to contact if not received by 9/20), and the I-485 says fingerprint fee accepted and notice mailed on 9/5. I'm guessing both were mailed late last week, and I'm expecting them to arrive early next week with all the USPS delays.
