April 2011 Filers

Just received a rejection notice because our checks were wrong...

I sent a check for $420 for the i-130, and $1070 for the i-485.

We submitted I-485, I-130, I-765 concurrently. What was wrong?
Probably the Payee...it must be US department of homeland security or department of homeland security...if its is USCIS they probably will reject it....good luck
 
@The Russian-

Did you get your NOA? I can't believe they cashes your check already! That's great news. I called yesterday and nothing yet:( I hope we do not get our 3rd rejection..panicking AGAIN!

Where are you from in Russia?

I'm from Serbia:)

@Dman-

HAve you checked if they cashes your check yet since we sent on the same day???

Well i got a rejection because I put the wrong date on the checks. I felt so stupid. But I sent it back and they received it today (April 27th) at 1:00 PM. Will update as soon as my checks go through.
 
Anyone that filed on or After April 11th recieve a NOA yet?

Nothing for me yet..

I've been calling to check on my cashier's checks and they have not been cashed yet either. :(.... Trying to wait patiently here. I'm panicking too especially since TheRuSSi@N's checks were cashed already and he mailed them on 4/18... :( :(

Me too Lizab....I am just trying to understand this all. It's the 3rd time I sent it, first 2 were rejections and it took them 29 days to send a rejection back the first 2 times so basically 2 months wasted on NOTHING:( I emailed them yesterday on the general email address in Nebraska, so let's see if that helped.
 
@Dman..so sorry..I totally forgot that I read that earlier. It sucks,doesn't it. I feel like I've wasted so much time already:(

Thanks, my neighbor The Russian! I am from Beograd Serbia & my husband is from Novi Sad Serbia...we have so many russian friends in Milwaukee!
 
Just sending out some positive vibes to everyone here - Hope you're all doing ok, and enjoying this journey. Eyes on the prize guys, eyes on the prize!!

Took me 34 days to get checks cashed, no other problems. So don't panic, they are extremely random in how long different applications take.
 
SO, I emailed USCIS at the general email address at the Nebraska Service center explaining how this is the 3rd time I sent my I485 to the Chicago Lockbox and told them my whole story. They just emailed me now and said as of 20 minutes ago, we still have not been entered in the system and have no receipt numbers and the guy gave me a direct email to the Chicago Lockbox for inquiries! Just got done emailing them. Figured I'd share it incase anyone else has questions for them. SO here it is guys: Public.engagement@dhs.gov

Walk in was unsuccessful :( They said it was too early as my scheduled appointment is 3 weeks away.
I was really hoping to take care of it early though, as my scheduled date is only 2 days away from my Due Date
 
Still nothing guys..I even emailed the loxbox support in Chicago on Tuesday morning! Anyone have any updates?

I just checked and nothing for me either :( I didn't email the Chicago box yet....I thought I would make myself wait the 45 days before I did anything.
