Sorry if we have missed other links about this we have looked at alot ~~ We were wondering how long it normally takes once Chicago receives your AOS forms to get your NOA-1 , form letter I-797C, from them so you know that they are starting the process?

This is the start of a 7-10 month process, try and keep your sanity.

Thanks for your comments.

Yes We know that the main process is slow we were just expecting to have the NOA-1 a little faster after they signed for the mail more like the time frame when I filed our I-129F.

They have 30 days to send the first letter of action. If you know that your package was properly delivered, just wait patiently. :)
