Anyone got their checks cached?

Nothing at all - no notices, no checks cashed,

Anyone got their checks cached?

Not yet, and I'm growing increasingly worried. I sent all the forms in on June 29th, they signed for the package on June 30th, and 'till today no NOA's nor my checks have been cashed.

Maybe this week?

But I thought you just re-sent the application.

It's been a month since I refile (June 12). I did not receive anything from them. Before I resubmit my file, I did write the Lockbox on June 9th . The Lockbox answered me back exactly after a month- on July 9th . They told they has rejected my original application ( on May 8) in error and I just need to refile it. The person told me to email her my tracking number once I refile.
I told her that I had already refile since and they have received it on June 13th and give her my tracking number. She accepted my application and gave me my original date of May 8 filing. Unfortunately, American Express caused a blunder by declining the filling fees of 2 of the 3 applications thinking they were fraudulent charges. Therefore, the lockbox approved my application but reject my wife and my daughter.

She told me one I refile their application, email her my tracking number so that she can give them their original filing date- May 8th.

So conclusion, I think are very slow for some applicant and if the lockbox contact you, make sure you keep talking to that person and she/he can help you. Make sure to give them your tracking number.

Do you mean even though they had 'lost' your old application, when u sent the new one with tracking ID etc for the old one they gave you an earlier priority date/older priority date in connection with your old application? And that you did not end up having a delayed application eventually?

Also guys, I checked out the June thread for AOS - looks like majority got notices at least after 15 days of delivery, nothing before that. Our situation could be worse cuz of furloughs etc, but who knows. I filed on 7/7/2020 so I dont think I expect anything before 21/22nd July or that week.

They did not loss my original applications. They had rejected them and required that I file I-864 but I did not have to file this form because I have more 40 qualifying quarter per SSA for work done in the USA. I sent them a later stating I don't know what to do since they wrongfully reject my case. After talking via email to the person who email me back from the Lockbox, she agreed to give me my original filing priority date since it was their mistake to reject my application ( in fact, I did not for that, she said because it was their error, they will honor my original filing date).

Note, they send me my case number via email. I can verify it online that my applications (I-485, I-131 and I765) are all accepted by the lockbox and route to the proper channel but I have not received the receipts in mail yet.

Also they had rejected my derivative applicant because AMEX screwed me. I will refile those and I expect to receive the priority date of 05/08/20 because she promises to give me that date. I need to send her my tracking number upon delivery.

But did you get notice for the old appliaction? and a email or something saying that you need to file I864? I would imagine that you ended up filing again because you did not receive any information from the older package and that's why you refiled it?

Of course, when they reject your applications, the mail the whole package back ( including your check)to you with a rejection notice and let you know why they reject them and the options to refile.

In fact, you allowed to return the same package to them although they stamp the bottom of each page.
