Ok, here's mine updated:

03-10-2013: Sent I-130 petition with relevant other forms and evidence to the Chicago Lockbox.
06-10-2013: I-130 petition shows "delivered" on USPS tracking
07-10-2013: Priority date
09-10-2013: NoA1 email received with MSC receipt number
12-10-2013: NoA1 hardcopy received, petition is at the new Kansas centre.
17-10-2013: USCIS case status shows that the cheque bounced because my husband's bank are sadistic. Priority date lost.
22-10-2013: Invoice received from Burlington Finance Center. Husband pays fees over the phone with credit card.
24-10-2013: NoA informing us about invoice (I'm guessing this should have arrived before the invoice) oddly enough from the Missouri Service Center.
Today: Case still showing as unpaid on the site, but I'm aware that the site can be slow to update sometimes. ** snip **
