Receipt Notice & G-1145

[Jun2580 27]

 

I applied to STEM OPT earlier last week by mailing the documents to the USCIS office. I had a tracking number, and it says it arrived at the destination last Friday morning.

I included G-1145 form because I wanted an email notice saying they received my documents. It has been almost 3 days since the arrival, but I still haven't got an email notice. 

 

How long does it usually take since document's arrival before they email/text you telling you they have received the package?

Also, how long does it take for them to mail the I797 receipt notice? I will need to submit it to my employer to maintain my employment. 

 

G-1145 form says "We will send the e-Notification within 24 hours after we accept your application". Does this mean, the package has arrived, but they did not accept my application? what does this even mean?

I am not sure what stem opt is but I applied for my AOS in September and I didn't receive a text (never got an email) until a week- week and a half after they received it.  The mail came within a week from that.  

 

Hopefully if you haven't gotten it yet, you will soon!

I've looked at so many members' timelines and mostly people get the text/email around a week after their filing date. It was the same for me.
