It's not a big deal. The problem is that usually you will get a recipt notice around a month. Meanwhile, check with your bank to see if the check has been cleared. How did you send in the application? I hope you did not send in with regular us postal mail. If you send in at least using priority mail with tracking or fedex, you should know if it was delivered. If it was delivered and you still did not receive the notice, you should call national customer service to make an inquiry. Good luck,
