Receipt Notices
Hello again community,
Would like to know how long has it been taking recently to get the receipt notices for family based 485, 130, 765 AOS applications sent to Chicago?
I’ve heard stories of massive backlogs at the Chicago office which resulted in some not getting receipt notices for months. Wondering if the situation has improved recently and receipt notices are being mailed out any quicker.
TIA for the input.

I’d say chat with a live agent through Emma and just get receipt numbers so you can track your cases. I applied in July and never got my notices till date, according to agents, none was even generated - Chicago Lockbox. However, my case has continued to progress and I have interview booked.

Wow 2 totally different responses. Guess they were quicker in August. Applications were just delivered today, let’s see how long it takes.
@B Akin how long did you wait before contacting Emma? Was it difficult to get through Emma to give you the receipt numbers? Thanks.

@Mr Soon: It’s not difficult at all. You just type Live Agent and when she provides a list , choose “case status”. I use Emma once every week to check my case status. Even after you get your receipt notices or numbers, still use Emma weekly to get updates. That’s how I got my interview date and time, even though I haven’t received the notice.

@C J when did you mail the application? What’s your PD?

mine took 3 months, PD June 1st.Also, I again filed I485 3 weeks ago; however, no receipts yet.

So it seems like it’s just a draw of the luck to get the receipt notices. Hopefully ours come in sooner rather than later. Will give Emma a try in a few days.
