My check was posted as "cashed" March 8. All the worry for nothing. I can't believe I'm so happy to turn over 170 to the government, but I am.

My worst fear was that the package would get sent back as incomplete or something ... I can't imagine they cash your check anyway.

So now the longer wait begins...

Thanks for listening.

:) I know you are relieved !

Don't just open your mouth and prove yourself a fool....put it in writing.

It gets harder the more you know. Because the more you find out, the uglier everything seems.

How do you know your cheque was cashed??? Is it based on a number on the back of the cheque??? I wish we knew that... I guess we have to wait for the NOA1, or another way my fiancé can see that his cheque has been cashed, but that might be awhile, lol. (If it shows up on a record that comes in the mail too that is)

If your bank provides online banking you can see when the check comes through. Some banks will also provide a scan of the check so you can get your case number before NOA1 (Mine did, though I couldnt read it, scan was too low resolution).

I have a toll free bank number that I can call 24 hours a day to get my balance, hear what checks have been cashed etc... They system updates every morning around 5am . When I phoned this morning- sure enough the check number and amount was cashed on the 8th.

Unfortuantely, I can't see the back of the check because I don't have online banking. I'll just wait until snail mail comes.

I am certain you can go into your local bank, and they can look up recent checks in a few seconds on their computer.

While I completely share your enthusiasm (mine was cashed around the same day) ... I don't know that the last part of your statement is entirely accurate. Afterall, that's what RFEs are for, no?

No, an RFE I think is for more evidence or explanation of a question. I was worried that the entire application would be considered invalid and sent back- i.e.- the check somehow fell off the application.... or my birth certificate, because it wasn't signed on the back would cause a complete rejection.

I know these fears aren't rational- but they were mulling...

This is a dizzying and mind altering process!
