They got the packet in Texas Monday morning, and the funds came out of my checking account by this morning. Is that a good sign, or should I not read too much into the speedy check cashing? Of course, I haven't officially gotten the NOA1 yet.

It is not relevant to approval, other than the fact they received you petition.

That's pretty normal. They received it and cashed the check--that's all. That usually happens within a week or two, then you'll get the NOA1. The next step is the beginning of the long wait.

the Dallas lockbox address is the receiving center for the K1 visa petition

it is not the USCIS office that will process the case

Usually K1 is assigned to the CSC (California Service Center)

When CSC receives it,  you will get a WAC # and a I 791 receipt -keep this copy as u may need it later for reference

Now your case sits on an inbox with thousands of other cases and Is not worked for several months 

u are looking at  8 months , probably more like a year till u know if CSC needs additional info or case is sent to NVC 

a lot of patience is needed now

try to spend time with your fiancee as casa embassy likes to see quality time together

Once you receive your WAC # in the mail, you will be able to track the status of itonline, make sure you sign up for text and email alerts on your petition.

You will want to create a account on the USCIS website as you will use it a lot over your visa journey.
