I filed my I-526E petition on November 2. I’ve received the first notice, confirming payment of the fee, but to this day I have not received the actual receipt notice. I’ve spoken to a few other EB-5 investors who filed around the same time I did, and no one has received their notice, either. Are receipt notices normally this slow to generate? When should I expect to receive it, do I need to take any steps?
