Hi,

How do we know when USCIS cashes our cheque? How long does it usually take? We sent in petition I 130 and received the "your case was received" txt message with our case number.

 

Your bank should be able to tell you. But if you know it’s been received then that’s good, the clock has started ticking. 

 

P.S. It seems I’ve now been in the US for long enough for ‘cheque’ to look wrong to me. 😂

Lol sorry, I used to live in the UK and Ireland, my bad 🤣

 

 

That’s what I meant - I’m a Brit! Just made me realise that the American spelling seems normal to me now after nearly 2 years (although it probably helps that I hadn’t used a cheque in the UK for about 15 years….be prepared to travel back in time in terms of banking, it’s like 1998 here 😂).

Did you pay by personal check/cheque? If so that is the easiest to find out. Otherwise call your bank

You won't get a receipt notice unless they cashed your check.  Check your online banking to confirm.  At intake, your file gets a cursory look.  If something is wrong, there will be no receipt notice.  In a month or so, you get your whole package back telling you what was wrong.  (Not necessarily a clear explanation, but something.)

Oh wow 😲 so we should be good then so far since we received the receipt notice. Thanks for the info! The receipt info txt msg said that an official receipt notice will follow by mail. So waiting for that now 🙂

Ok, husband checked with his bank ---the check/cheque 😁has been cashed 🥳

 

They received our I-130 03/05, we got the receipt notice txt msg 03/11 and that's the day they cashed the cheque too✅

I read that it takes 2-4 weeks to receive the I-797c so its been two weeks now so I think we are good. So far so good 😊
