The USCIS can take up to 30 days to send you an NOA1, if after 30 days you still haven't received anything give them a call and ask for it. You can also get your receipt number by checking out the cashed check you sent them, they usually write it on either the back of it or on the front.

Don't worry about item #14 of the I-130 since you're now a US citizen. The question is for permanent residents, not US citizens, so you should've answered question #13 of the I-130 with your US citizenship info.

I had the same issue, I have certified mail return delivery date as for November 14th but did not get NOA1, called USCIS in 30 days and got Receipt numbers over the phone, found at USCIS web site that cases received on 21 of November and cases were trasnfered to CSC.

I figured out that I do not need actual notices since I have numbers.... But I would care abour NOA2 of course...

My suggestioni is just to call in 30 days and ask for status and number and explain that 30 day passed and you did not get any notices from USCIS.
