Wonder if anyone sent to the Dallas lockbox recently. It feels weird being out of status and not having a NOA to show

4-8 weeks is normal wait time. When did you sent it?

Update: My NOA arrived!

In a surprising turn of events, our checks have not been cashed but our NOA has arrived. I accessed the online account and it says the biometrics appointment was scheduled and an appointment notice has been sent. That notice has not arrived yet. 

Still, good news!

USCIS just cashed my checks for the I-485 and I-765 today and I was told via agent from live chat they mailed my notices on 1/31/2025. :).

The saga continues!

My USCIS updated last night (at 3 in the morning) to tell us that there is a payment issue (which is surprising). We are quite sure that both checks are correct with the correct payment amount. I called our bank and they said that no attempts have been made to cash a check. I also contacted USCIS and they scheduled a Tier 2 callback......so fingers crossed that it's an issue on their side and our forms don't get rejected...

Just curious, who did you make the checks out to?

US Department of Homeland Security

Ok cool... I had heard that making it out to USCIS can cause "Issue With Payment" problems

We just received an update that notifies us that the case is rejected due to the check not going through - we are mystified by this as we filled everything in according to USCIS instructions. 
What is even more mysterious, is that we also received two NOAs in the mail which explicitly state that they did get the money (Total Balance Due: 0). We have no idea what's going on but we will keep y'all informed.

Did you send one check for both forms? (I think you mentioned filing for AOS and EAD? Correct me if I'm wrong though!)

This is how I wrote my two checks for USCIS for reference:
