Thanks for the info. This is definitely a good sign. Have you been able to make out the EAS no. on the back of the check?
I was. But punching that in for status returns nothing. So i'll just wait for the notice.

Hi Vorpal,
You may have stumbled onto something here... I noticed the ESC number on the back of the check, but did not consider it because of the $ after ESC. However, when I substituted the $ sign with an * (asterisk), the number came up online. And, it states "On August 30, 2007, we received your N400...".
I am still confused on which number (front or back) is the correct one.
I have update for 2 citizenship case:
VSC
N-400 Mailed: ... 8/28/2007
N-400 received by VSC: ... 8/31/2007
Check cashed: 11/15/2007
Receipt Date: ?
FP Date: ?
Interview Notice ... ?
Interview Date ... ?
Oath Notice ... ?
Oath Date ... ?
Thanks!
Based on the assumption mentioned in this thread to verify the ESC #, our ESC # does appear online.
USCIS seemed to have received the application Sep 17, 2007 and seemed to have mailed a notice.
But i have not received anything.
.... It's just a matter of time until we receive the receipts. Considering that this Friday will be 13 weeks since I submitted my N-400, my guess is that my receipt should be arriving within the next couple of weeks, provided that VSC decides to stick to the 15 week timeframe.
NSC service center initially lagging in I-485 receipt updates into the system. But for N400 NSC service center leads other service centers. Many people got their receipts and FP notices. But our VSC service center is very slow and we keep our fingers crossed for any miracle to happen here in our area.
The posted notification receipt times for both TSC and VSC are now both well beyond the 15 week mark. (17 weeks and counting). I have previously suggested that USICS remove or update the 15 week statement on their website but so far they haven't taken action.
Your check STILL hasn't been cashed? I'm speechless...
One of the recent newspaper articles mentioned that it's taking up to 5 months to get a receipt. I wonder if that 5 months is factored into the newly established processing timeline of 16-18 months. If it's not.....2 years to become a citizen?
Many who filed to TSC after July 30 have yet to see their checks cashed. As for the 5 month timeline to get a notice receipt, the October 12 ombudsman conference call did confirm that it may take until mid January for the July-August applicants to receive receipt notices (August -January = 5 months). Why USCIS hasn't updated it's website to reflect this is anyone's guess. The clearly need to update their 15 week timeframe they have posted.
I haven't seen a VSC timeline here, so I'm starting one for all the applicants who mailed in their N-400 during August/Septmeber 2007. I sent mine in on August 31, 2007, via Priority Mail. Needless to say, the check hasn't been cashed, and I haven't gotten a receipt. I sent in my FOIPA request today (10/15). I'll keep posting more updates as time progresses. Anyone else is welcomed to chime in.
