Hello, we sent our package from Houston to Dallas on November 6th and I did include the notifications by email/text form. However, the check has not been cashed yet and it's been a week. Should I be worried? Or does it usually take this long? I just see a lot of people who get their NOA1 after a few days.

Also, how much do they actually look through the petition when they receive it? I made two stupid mistakes of not putting N/A on both Part B Question 12: "If your fiance is currently in the U.S., complete the following:" and Part C Question 1 "If you are serving overseas in the Armed Forces of the United States, please answer the following:". Would they see this and send it back?

Hi! Don't worry, it'll come soon. Just like ours, we sent Sept. 2, check cashed on Sept. 11 and the NOA1 hard copy arrive in mail after few days.

God bless and good luck. :)

Trust in the Lord with all your heart

and lean not on your own understanding;

in all your ways submit to Him,
and He will make your paths straight.

I wouldn't worry ... I sent mine on exactly the same day (Tuesday Nov 6, election day!) via overnight express mail to Texas. It arrived there promptly, and on Saturday my bank online showed a "pending" transaction (they cashed the check but it hadn't quite cleared yet). Today it shows cashed, finally. And last night, even though it was Veterans Day and I didn't expect anything, around 9 p.m. I got the email notification saying they had sent the packet to CSC and the NOA1 would be coming in regular mail.

So keep checking your bank and email, but I'd say a few more days is totally reasonable, especially if you didn't overnight the packet. Good luck and keep in touch, since we are filers from the same day! :)
