Anyone Waiting Long for VAWA I-485 Receipt notices?
Hi everyone, my I-360 was approved in July 2024. I mailed my I-485 on June 6, 2025, and tracking shows it was delivered on June 10 to Lincoln, NE. But until now, I still haven’t received the receipt notice — it has already been about three and a half months. Is this normal?
Also, for those who filed I-485 based on VAWA recently, how long does it usually take now to receive the receipt notice, and about how long does it take for the I-485 to get approved?

@nick fred Thanks! On the I-797C receipt notice, will the “Receipt Date” be the delivery date (June 10) or the date they issue it later? I’m asking because I’m not sure when the processing time actually starts — for example, if the I-485 timeline is 12–14 months, is it counted from the day USCIS got my package or from the date I received the receipt notice?

@Noble Ben Thanks! On the I-797C, is the “Receipt Date” is the delivery date (June 10) or the date they issue it after 4-6 months later ? Just want to know when the 12–14 month timeline starts.
