confirmation of I485?

[kevbride 0]

Hi, you all!

I've filed my I-485 packet last wednesday via express mail to the chicago adress as uscis instructions required. I've also included that form to receive confirmation of arrival via text and/or e-mail. So far... nothing =/ They haven't even cashed the check yet.

USPS website says there was no one there to get the packet, but when I went to the post office to check, they've said there was a problem with the website update and assured me the packet was delivered (they even sent me a copy of the signature of the person who got it). So I guess I can trust they got it, right?

Anyway I'm still worried about not getting any response from Chicago. Is that normal? How long does it usually take to get the text and e-mail saying they got the packet? Anybody going through the same issues?

With the I-29F we got the response on the very next day of posting. That's why I'm a little bit worried about this delay.

Thank you for the attention =)

Did you send it on wednesday? Or was it received on wednesday?

You sent it last Wednesday. It got there Thursday. It is now Monday midday. You expect something in 2 business days? It can take weeks to send out the NOA1.

There are a lot of people in this forum now freaking out about NOA1s not coming after 2 or 3 business days. To all of you: I sincerely suggest you relax. If you are this worried at the very beginning, the AOS process will be agony. It can take weeks to send out the NOA1. It is normal. I have seen even up to a month. They do not issue NOA1s when they get the package, they issue them when the package has been opened, collated, and checked that it is complete enough to start processing. This takes days at least.

Furthermore, the online notification system is extremely unreliable. Some people never get updates there, so wait for mail notices and find something else to do to take your mind off of it.

i've sent it on wednesday and it got there on thursday. the reason i was concerned was that with the I-29F the notification came very fast, so I was expecting it to be the same with the AOS. apparently it's not =) now that i'm aware of that, i'll just wait... i just wanted to check if that was normal.

thank you!

Give it a couple more days for the email. If you sent them a personal check you can see if they have cashed it with your bank. Don't worry it usually takes a couple of weeks after they have received it to send you the NOA1.
