I have mailed out my K1 application on Mar, then I  have received the text confirmation on Apr 2, said my case was received and also provide  my Receipt number , check has been deposited on Apr 4.

However, I am still not received Form I-797C by the mail until now. Anything I can do now?

It's not recommended sharing your full case number here, just FYI.

Since you have your case number you can rest easy knowing it's in the system. Try not to worry about the I-797C. It won't delay your case any that you haven't gotten it. 

I don't remember how long it took for me to receive mine, but it felt delayed too.

Normal.  Can be up to 90 days for receipt of the I-797C.

 

You have your receipt number.  There's nothing more that the I-797C will provide, other than the service center address, which you can get by checking your case online or by phone.
