Did you submit a form G-1145,E-Notification of Application/Petition Acceptance with your package too? I got an email notification because of that form. The checks i sent haven't been cashed yet.You are really lucky, I sent both my I130 and a new 485 (had a pending EB3 one before marrying a US citizen) to the chicago lockbox, they received it on March 1st. However I have no form of acknowledgement except that the USCIS cashed the check for my I130, they have not cashed the other check for the 485 or 864. Did both your checks get cashed yet?

I received emails from USCIS with receipt numbers today. It also mentions that my case has been routed to the NBC for processing. I guess that is the normal procedure with family based applicants.
Good luck to all the applicants of March, 4 months ago I was on your shoes... Follow my updates on November and December 2009 files.
So I just got a notice of rejection for my I485 because of incorrect fee. I sent the application with a fee of $1010 (for biometrics and 485) and another check of $70 for the I864. I called the customer service now, and the man told me that the rejection was because I submitted a check of $70, I apprently should not have been paying for that. But the instructions on the form confused me! arghhhh! So i guess I am going to send my 485 package back now with only a check of $1010.
Thats pretty rough. Must have been a lazy application checker. Usually they just send you back the $70 check . The I-864 form is phrased badly regarding the payment. You need only pay if you are sending it to an american consulate in a foreign country.
i was surprised to hear that too. I had the same thing happen to me and they just returned back the 70.
