Still waiting for AOS check to be cashed

[Shorah 2]

Hello everyone, I havent posted on here in quite awhile since I have been busy with the move down to California and getting settled.

I know there is an AOS forum for questions but I'm posting in the regional forums because I have made quite a few friends here so I'm hoping one of them has some info for me!

So I sent in my AOS package on July 5th, it was signed for on the 6th but I still havent heard anything back yet nor has my check been cashed.

I was reading that alot of people were waiting about 3 or 4 months so I have been waiting patiently.

But it has now been over a month so I'm starting to get really frustrated.

I have no idea if i should be calling someone right now and who exactly it would be that i call.

Anyone in the same boat as me or have any experience with this?

I'm going stir crazy here I need to be able to start looking for work sooner rather than later!

Weirds like you say, that must be so frustrating - I'm not sure who you would call becase you don;t have a case # or anything like that to refer to.

So I called USCIS and I'm so mad.

They told me that its very odd that my check has not been cashed and that i hasn't heard anything back yet either.

They said if something was wrong I would have heard back by now and since my check hasn't been cashed and I'm not showing up in their system then my package must be misplaced in their mailroom somewhere.

THEN she gives ME an email to email them at to request they go look for it....

So theres nothing she can actually do for me.

This is so frustrating, no its not like i actually NEED to work or anything!

The ineptitude of this situation completely boggles my mind.

Sorry needed to vent.

It should take MAX 30 days for them to cash the check. So yes I would assume USCIS error at this point.

Yeah thats what the lady I talked to said. If I`m not in their system at this point then the package hasn't been opened yet which leads her to believe that it has been misplaced. So frustrating

I know my DH AOS got sent back because I put the wrong birthdate on the form so therefore it was teh "wrong amount". I sent the package in July 2010 and put his birthday on one of the forms as Oct. 2010. My DH hadn't even been born yet. DOH but the check was back in my hands 2 weeks after I mailed the package. Hopefully they are able to find the package. If not, then you should be able to use the copies you have of your package to recreate it.
