Hello everyone,

 

I registered mail through USPS my spouse's I-130 form with required documents and bank check on monday and was notified on Wednesday that the mail was delivered to Chicago USCIS address. Please educate me how long does it take for USCIS to process the check which i sent and also when i will be given a case # to track my case.

Any other information regarding my situation will be highly appreciated.

 

Thank you!

It takes 3-5 business days to cash check.

 

If you have signed-up for electronic notifications, then you will get your case # the same day when USCIS receives your I-130.

 

If you have NOT signed-up for electronic notifications then you will get your case # in the regular mail (NOA 1 or form I-797C). It takes from 8 to 16 calendar days (from the day you mailed out your I-130).

Thank you!

Usually they process within a day or two. The average length before you get your NOA dated is around 6 days.

G-1145 is the form for e-Notifications. You have to fill it out and put on top of the I-130.
