I mailed my application before my friend who lives 4 doors down from me and his card got charged last week & mine still hasn't, how screwed am I?

Are you able to check the status online? It would help people who know what they're talking about in here (I'm not one of those people though) figure out whereabouts in the process you are.

I thought you couldn't until your card was charged? Or is that a myth?

Edit: I just checked and it says it was received 2021-02-09! When I checked a week or two ago nothing came up so at least I know it made it there safely
