i just sent in our petition (july 6,2007) i know it usually takes almost a month for it to be opened.. but how can i check the status of our case?? is there a number the USCIS give us??
Just wait for your check to be cashed......................you did send a check, right?
On the back of the check will be your filing number (?), with that you can register at the USCIS site and monitor the progress, or lack of progress of your petition.
