Yes, Flydog, no receipt and no FP appt yet. They have
cashed my check though. And I already know my receipt number (ESC*...)
because it is printed on the check and because I asked when I phoned USCIS.
I spoke to several immigration officers by phone, and they all
confirmed that they have not sent receipt letter to me. Today an officer
said something like "your case was put in immediate review".
Nobody I've asked has any idea what it means.
I am going to wait for two more weeks and call them again.
BTW, the only complicated thing in my case is that I got divorced in the US.
I have no children, no speeding tickets for the last 5 years.
I traveled to Peru and Mexico, but it should not be a problem.
During my childhood I was affiliated with the Communist Party, but
this is true for almost every person studied in school in the USSR.
