Need Help Sent 485,130 etc Check not Cashed

[txh1b]

and then what?

Then you can open a service request. Call the USCIS number and they will tell you till when you have to wait. It was 30/45/60/90 days during the 485 rush season last year.

I mailed it to this address, and I used USPS Express mail. I checked the tracking info and it says it was signed by I INS.

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services
Attn: FBASI
427 S. LaSalle - 3rd Floor
Chicago, IL 60605-1098

I have a similar situation. I mailed out my package (I-130, I-485 etc.) on Apr. 15th 2008 and after a week I still haven't received a return receipt either through USPS or a receipt date directly from USCIS. And as directed in the I-130 instructions, I sent my papers to:
U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services
P.O. Box 805887
Chicago, IL 60680-4120

I'd wait for a couple more weeks to see if the checks cash but I have to admit its already making me a tad nervous.

Have you applied for parents?

If it is OK for you to share - Have you applied for concurrent processing (130, 485 etc.) for your parents?

If yes, what was their visa status when they enterred into USA?

[ferobrynza]

Is it possible that USCIS has lost my application? Two months gone and no answer.... should I reapply again?

[ferobrynza]

Endgame456 ~ I sent off my package on 16th April 2008 and only received my NOA last Monday 28th. Give it the 10-14 days I'm sure you will receive them. As for checks being cashed, I havent looked into that. I feel as long as they have received them and I got the NOA's acknowledging same it should be ok.

If I were you, I would cancel teh checks and reapply totally new, so not to deal with the US post office receipt etc., and get into a fight with teh USCIS. But please consult a lawyer regarding what happens if teh old application surfaces and if USCIS tries tocashteh old checks, I read someplace that bouncing a check sent to federal govt is a mis demeanor. If uscis says in writing that they have lost the package then that would be proof enough, or at least a case number confirming they lost your package would suffice, I guess. I know how frustrating this is. Good luck to you.
