That's just the notification with your receipt number.  NOA1 is the actual letter from USCIS.

 

If you filed by mail and submitted form G-1145, then you are supposed to receive a notification via text message.

 

Ohhhh... Thanks for the clarification, Chancy. I appreciate it.

It's just a notification. Did you submit G-1145? https://www.uscis.gov/g-1145 "Use this form to request a text message and/or email when USCIS accepts your form." It's been reported that they sometimes don't notify via email. The email from Do_Not_Reply_Lockbox@dhs.gov says something like:

Your case has been accepted and routed to the USCIS <Service Center> for processing. Within 7-10 days by standard mail you will receive your official Receipt Notice (Form I-797) with your Receipt Number *************. With the official Receipt Notice (Form I-797) you may visit www.uscis.gov where you can check the status of your case using My Case Status. We suggest you wait until you have received your Form I-797 before checking My Case Status.

This confirmation provides notification of the date USCIS received your case.  This notice does NOT grant any immigration status or benefit. You MAY NOT present this notice as evidence that you have been granted any immigration status or benefit. Further, this notice does NOT constitute evidence that your case remains pending with USCIS. The current status of your case must be verified with USCIS.

PLEASE DO NOT REPLY TO THIS MESSAGE

I filled that form out and sent it with my package; that's how I got a text from them. I was just expecting something in the mail and/or mailbox. The text from USCIS did say that I'll receive an official notice in the mail.
