I doubt it

Me too

Supposedly data entry for all I-751s received before 10/1 and everyone should receive their NOAs by 10/22. Call me skeptical. They seem overloaded.

So you're saying the case is still in Cali but checks can get cashed elsewhere? Why would they send the check elsewhere and kept the package in Cali? Sounds weird

My understanding is that on 9/10 they changed the process for how I-751s are handled. The applications that were sent to California that hadn't been accepted by then were then ALL sent to the lockboxes, even if they were sent before 9/10 for acceptance and to distribute among all the service centers. So, it's perfectly possible that a mid-August I-751 was (1) mailed to California, then (2) sent by USCIS to one of the lockboxes on or about 9/10, then (3) the lockbox sent it back to California (or for some other people to Texas or Nebraska) for processing.

I don't know for sure cause I don't work for USCIS, but based on what I've been reading on the forums, it seems like this is exactly what's going on.

We received the biometrics letter.

My check was cashed in Chicago today (9/27). Sent to CSC 9/5, received 9/7. Wrote this already in the September forum, but just wanted to provide the datapoint for those waiting for their NOAs/checks to be cashed.

VT seemed to be going really fast but now it seems slow

I wonder if VSC is sending them to the other lockboxes if sent past a certain date now too. Good luck!

Signed in to my bank today to see that my check had been cashed in Chicago. Package sent to CSC 9/5, received 9/7. Now to join those waiting for NOA1.

Since I live in Texas, somehow expected the file to get sent to Dallas, but I guess CSC is just sending them to whatever lockbox, for the lockbox to figure out where to send from there.

Can't blame CA honestly

Agreed. I blame the folks (under)funding them.

Interesting, you sent your before the change but if your check was cashed in Chicago, it appears California is redirecting the files.

Yeah, everyone in the August filers forum who sent to CSC after 8/10 or so is reporting their checks being cashed in all different places--Texas, Illinois, Arizona. Appears CSC is redirecting all over. Not clear yet what logic they're using to decide whose file goes where.

Edit: clarified that only those who sent to CSC in August were seeing the redirects

Just wanted to let CSC filers know that it appears many applications filed in August are being re-routed to Arizona and Texas, according to the August forums. Folks who filed in the 8/10 date range are now reporting that their checks are being cashed. Hopefully we'll be getting our NOAs within the next few weeks.

If only I had been less prepared, I could have shaved 8 month off this charade.

I hear you. I was pushing to get in before the 9/11 changes in processing. Anyone know if those whose packets have been received in the mail got in under the wire? Or is it NOA1 date that counts?

Hopefully with other Service Centers being pulled in here, there's a chance CSC will speed up or our I-751s will be sent to another Service Center. So fingers crossed it helps us too.

That is astonishingly fast! Mine was received 09/06 and thus far the check has not been cashed nor has an e-notification or letter come my way.

The California Service Center has been really backed up. Seems like the folks who filed in early-mid August are just receiving their NOA1s now. VSC has been processing much faster.

Here with you guys for the long haul. CSC. Mailed 9/5. Delivered 9/7.
