email notification time frame

[David R 2]

hi everyone, my fiancee and i just lodged our k1 visa petition to Dallas on Monday. we also sent the letter asking for email notification when the application was received, and we have yet to receive the email. does anyone know how long it could take to get the notification? thank you for your help!

they are not the swiftest with updates. Give it about 3-5 more days, you should have something then. More importantly, you will receive a hard copy in the mail. Your NOA1. That has the information on it you will need.

Go ahead and start your timeline and you will get time estimates based on other VJ members entering their respective information.

I didnt get an email, but either way its not going to update you that they received it, they will send you an update they approved your petition. That can take up to two weeks to get in the mail

thanks so much.we filled in the form to get an email notification when our application had been received. we just want to know it arrived safely.

do we only wait 2 Weeks to see if our petition had been approved?i thought it would take at least 5 months.

Actually, USCIS does send you an email and SMS on when the petition has been received and routed to the service center. The email provides the USCIS case #. However, there are plenty of instances of people on VJ who filed the G-1145 form with their petition package, but never received the electronic notification. USCIS will tell you to wait up to 30 business days to receive the hard copy of the receipt notice (NOA1), but most receive it within a week to 10 business days.

No, the adjudication period can take about five months on average -- sometimes it can be shorter or longer. What the petitioner (USC) will receive is a notification of acceptance from USCIS. This will let you know they've received the petition, its location (California or Vermont), and have the case number on it.

It really depends on the time of filing, the load of petitions waiting around in the mailroom at USCIS, your location and various factors. Some have reported it to take days after filing, others have waited around a month. USCIS won't do anything before 30 have passed since filing the petition. We never got an email however 14 days after filing, we got NOA1 hardcopy.
