We fedexed applications for my AOS (I-485, I-130, I-864) and EAD (I-765) to the Chicago lockbox on August 26. (Actually, we sent it to the street address that they give for non-USPS deliveries.) The Fedex online system shows delivery and signature on Monday, August 28, which was 9 days ago, and we still havent heard a peep. None of the checks we sent appears to have been cashed either. Should I be worried, or does it normally take USCIS so long to send a receipt notice? What have your experiences been? I seem to notice from other peoples signatures that at least the checks got cashed pretty soon after delivery.

Part of the reason Im so anxious is that my F1 status expired as of August 31. Im hoping Im still okay because I technically filed for AOS before my status expired. Anything I can do at this point besides wait? Will calling the 1-800 number be of any use?

Thanks again for all your help. I would be a nervous wreck without this forum

Be patient. Your short, if any, overstay will be forgiven, and Im sure your checks will be cashed soon. Given the holiday weekend, and a few other factors, theyre probably being a little slow right now.

Mine was sent august 18 and i just received the NOA today... be patient though i know sometimes its hard

Thanks, dr lha and camster! Its good to know that its taking a while for people to hear back. Maybe now I can stop checking our bank account every few hours to see if the checks have posted.
