Filed I-485 with my spouse, my receipt arrived but spouse's hasn't — should we be worried?
I filed I-485/765/131 together with my wife (same package, same day).
My case was processed first, but my wife’s payment still hasn’t been charged yet.
Here’s my timeline so far:
• 11/10: Package delivered
• 11/14: My payment was charged
• 11/17: I received my receipt number (text)
But my wife still hasn’t had her payment charged and has no receipt yet.
Is this normal for derivative I-485 cases? How long should we wait before contacting USCIS? Is there any way to submit inquiry about this?

It is normal. it took a month for my wife to get her receipt notice. I submitted on 10th of October and got mine just 3 days later. dependent time often varies

@Dee Barbara did you just wait? I can't understand cuz mine and my wife's were in the same package, two different envelops.

its weird , they should receive your docs at the same time , and once they receive even you dont get receipt number quickly, they text you that they receive the docs. so its definitely not a normal thing in this process i think you should connect to Emma and ask asap.
