I have the same problem, I sent my I-751 form off Sept 4th and haven't had my check cashed either, I sent it to the California Service Center, it looks like there is a delay everywhere. Let me know how you get on.

We're in the same boat too.

I find this thread both reassuring and troubling at the same time.

Service centers probably still digging out from the fee increase rush

We are waiting as well, very frustrating! - We mailed ours to TSC on August 17th, it was signed for on August 20th...and we are still waiting. The terrible thing about this for us is my husbands job depends on this NOA1 notice, he is a truck driver and picks up his loads at the Mexican boarder, again last night he was stopped by Boarder Patrol (these are random pull overs) and they warned him about his expiration date...we are both very nervous, especially Joe.

Same here, I mailed my application on Sept. 1st to TSC and still they haven't cashed my check...I'm starting to get a little nervous!

Why don't you make an Infopass appointment and try to get the stamp at your local office? I know some office don't want to do it, but if your husband needs his extension you can try!

Good luck everybody and let's keep updated!

This is from the USCIS website:

USCIS Application and Receipting Update

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) advises customers that, due to a tremendous increase in the number of applications filed, processing of fee payments and entry of cases into our tracking system is behind schedule. As a result, applicants can expect notices of receipt to be delayed. USCIS is working hard to deal with the increased volume.

Delay in fee processing and data entry will not affect an applicant's Change of Status or Extension of Stay eligibility if all other eligibility requirements are met. USCIS continues to process Premium Processing Service requests within 15 days.

USCIS will honor the actual date that an application was received in our mailroom; this date will be indicated on the receipt (in the Received Date box) when Form I-797, Notice of Action, is mailed. Until this situation is resolved, USCIS will provide these weekly updates on progress in issuing receipt notices to our customers. We appreciate your understanding.

As of September 14, 2007, USCIS has completed data entry and issued receipt notices for applications and petitions received on or before the dates indicated:

I mailed my I751 on Aug 29th, they received it on Aug 30th, however the check didnt clear my bank until Sep 21st... on the back of the check I can see that it was deposited in California in a different bank than mine therefore the delay on clearing my bank account.

The check wont clear your account until your bank receives it from the bank they deposited in... it might take a few days depending on which Federal Reserve we are talking about.

We mailed in the I-751 on Sept 17th. It was received in Nebraska on the 18th. The check has not been cashed yet. Looks like we'll have to wait a few more weeks.

Wow. I read through this thread and sorry to see the lag in processing times. They have not cashed our check either. We mailed on November 16th. They received it on the 18th but have not cashed the check yet. One more week and it will be a month! My wife is starting to worry a little because she wants to keep working. Reading that backlog information is a little bit more reassuring though.

Good luck to us all!
