10/17/2011 Filed for AOS

[TiklingGuy 211]

I am sure there are a bunch of topics about this, but i filed by AOS/EAD/AP on the 17th of October. Chicago received it on the 19th. Its 12 days later and they still have not cashed the cashers check or gave me my first notice of action on any of the case's. Is it common to take this long? I know with the government they usually sprint to the bank to cash the checks instead of mossie. Is the Chicago Lock Box office on strike or something? Vacation? I was just curious if anyone else was experiencing this. I am really not that much of in a hurry. I mean i got my wife here with me. But it makes me wonder, since i haven't heard from them yet.

P.S. I am not mad. I am not worried or being paranoid. I have truck loads of patience for this AOS process. This is just curiousity.

Can take up to 30 days depending how backed up they are.

yea, the only reason i was curious is that i noticed people that filed after me already have their petition pending.

I filed mine on October 22nd and my NOA1 was dated on the 27th. Looking at past timelines it doesn't make a lot of sense, it seems some people's take weeks and other take only day even when they send it at the same time, but I wonder if there was anything wrong with your check or something else that could slow it down?

I wrote a cashiers check for $1070.00. I sent all the necessary documents with all the bells and whistles. I can't think of anything that i did wrong.
