Checks not Cashed at the Same Time

[AOS123]

I-130/I-485 were filed concurrently and I sent 3 checks with the package. My checks for $535 and $85 have been cashed, however the check for $1140 for the I-485 has not been cashed yet. Is it unusual for all checks not to be cashed together?

Huh, that's weird. I made my 1 check for $1225, that included the biometrics fee. I'd give them a call just in case.

Is there anyway to actually talk to an agent when calling the hotline? I can't get past the robot that answers lol

Ok this is what you do ok, make sure to have your Alien number or receipt number with you before hand. You're going to talk to a live agent thru chat.

1)Go to https://www.uscis.gov/

2)On your right hand side click "menu" and scroll down to the tab that says ASK EMMA

3)Once you do that, at the bottom type LIVE AGENT, click send.

4)It'll ask for your receipt number.

5)A small box with a few options will appear, click the one that says GREEN CARD.

6)After that Emma will tell you that you're in a que to chat with a live agent. I think it has to be Monday thru Saturday between 9am and 5pm.

Good luck!

Thank you!! The I-485 check did get cashed as well the other day so I guess if this happens to anyone else, don't freak out!
