For them to cash your check before the application is approved is normal.

If, for some reason(s) you are disapproved, they will simply cut a check on their account to reimburse you.

I wish you the best and I'm sure all will be well in the end.

Just so you know your approval may take as lttle as a few weeks to as much as two months as it did for me.

Why? I'm not sure except that I think the time of the year makes a difference where most people take vacation time/time off during the summer and around major holidays. Just a hunch on tht though.
