Did you submit a G-1145 with the petition? It's an optional form, but without it they wont send texts or email updates and you're just have to wait for the mailed NOA1.

I'm the petitioner.

While you wait, you could also try checking with your bank to see if the check has been cashed or if it is still processing. I believe checks usually take some time to clear; maybe the USCIS has to wait for that confirmation before sending you the text/email.

USCIS converts your paper check into EFT so it usually clears within 24 hours.
