how long does it take to get a receipt number from immigration?
I had sent my I-130 form to Chicago lockbox for processing as instructed on the 1st of December and I have not received my receipt number. Anyone knows how long it takes to at least get a receipt number?

thank you guys. I guess it is just a waiting game now. yes I keep checking my money orders if they have been cashed or not. so far not yet cashed

You should be receiving something near February. December is a tricky month with Holidays and people taking vacations, it slows the process down, however it usually takes 1/2 months after sending your forms.

I say 1/2 months, although most lawyers like to talk weeks just go make it seem faster. 4-6 weeks is usually what it takes, however, like I stated half of December doesn’t really count.

If your petitioner is a resident, it’ll take longer than if they were a citizen. It is currently taking 3-5 years for the whole process. I’m almost on year 3 and barely got my biométrics appointment for January. It’s a waiting game, but have patience and faith. :)))
