Electronic Check and Case Number

[N-o-l-a 7,167]

Our check was cashed last week and I searched the forums for an answer but all I could find was the advice that the case number was on the back of the check image. It appears that the check was processed electronically rather than the old fashioned way. Is there a way to find it out besides just waiting on the NOA1 hard copy in the mail?

Get a cup of tea, sit back, and start waiting. If you don't have reply within 4 weeks, call them.

Welcome to the forum.

If you filed optional form G-1145 along with your petition, you may get an email notification of receipt of your petition by USCIS. Your receipt number is also on that email message. Though there have been reports that email messaging notification system doesn't always work. Other than that..you can only wait...

Go to your online banking account, see if the check was cashed. It should show up there with a little image file. Receipt number is on there. Go to USCIS and either type in the receipt number to check case status, or set up an account, add the case number to portfolio, click yes to email/text updates and you're ready to roll.

Depending on where the check was processed, the receipt number on the check, and on the email reply sent via the G-1145, may not be the same as your case number, so until you get your NOA #1, you may not be able to check your case status.

The email notification doesn't always work, I filed for it and didn't receive it. Just wait for NOA1. Nothing is going to happen with it for months anyways so take a deep breath, relax, and try not to go crazy waiting.

I think that they processed the check as an ACH debit and hence there is no check image. I guess I'm going to have to learn some patience and deal with lots of waiting

My Danish is pretty sub par, but I'll have my fiance take a look at it if need be.

Okay. Well, as exciting it is to get started and having an official document in the hands, it's also a sneaky way of getting you sucked into the whole impatient waiting game. Do a countdown to your next visit rather than focus on the petition.
