I-485 File Lockbox Question
Hi everyone, Has anyone recently submitted an Form I-485 package to the Dallas or Lewisville lockbox? (or any lockbox)
How many days did it take for the fees to be charged to your credit card or ACH, and how long after that did you receive the receipt notice from USCIS?
Thank you . itβs so important π

I received a text message with receipt number 4 business days after my case was delivered to the Lewisville lockbox. That same day, they proceeded ACH. I got receipt notice on mail after 8 business days.

It may take 1-3weeks before you see the charge at which point you should anticipate receiving the I-797 notice of receipt of filing in the mail.

Mine was delivered yesterday and hoping to get any sign of the charge being made from my ACH. @ J G, I hope you see the action taken soon. Good luck!
