How long does it take USCIS to issue a receipt for an I-526 application?

I recently filed my I-526 application. According to the courier, the application package was delivered on Aug. 7, 2019. How many days does it take to get a formal receipt from USCIS?

Usually up to two weeks, but I have seen it take longer, especially lately.

This can vary. You should likely have received the receipt notice one week after the date of filing.

Usually within a couple of weeks after filing. You should check to see if your filing fee check has cleared with the bank. That&#39s usually a telling sign the the case has been received/accepted for processing and the fee is in.

Our experience has been two to three weeks, but like everything else with immigration if this also takes longer, do not panic. If you do not receive it by the first or second week of September, have your attorney inquire.

We have seen cases where receipts never arrive. Your case number should be on the back of the check cashed by USCIS. Contact USCIS customer service or have your attorney do that to make a service request. Alternatively, make an InfoPass appointment online to obtain I-551 stamp in your passport if a service request does not get you a replacement receipt notice within 30 days.

It generally takes two weeks to receive an I-526 receipt notice. If you have not received a notice within 30 days of filing, you can reach out to USCIS.
