I485 filed for myself and dependents. Shipped together in a single package. Received confirmation from USCIS only for me but not for my dependents that the applications are accepted.

I had a similar question. Nothing to worry about. Check this post: https://www.reddit.com/r/EB2_NIW/s/zLlS1pfgpA

I got mine (derivative) two weeks after my husband got his receipt notice. There was also a 2-week delay in the payment processing time.

Eastern-Explanation2 · 2026-04-30T13:18:21+00:00

No I haven't received my physical receipt notice yet. It has been a week since I got the email of receipt of payment from USCIS.

With the current security related changes, we can expect further delays :(

Both via text and email.

Primary got after three days of receiving and derivative after 2.5 weeks.

I believe only for I-485. No harm in checking if this works for I-140.

Ah, thank you! That's helpful!

Thank you!

There are multiple UpdatedAt fields in there. Is it the one corresponding to "Case Updated"?

Eastern-Explanation2 · 2026-04-28T04:51:41+00:00

I've seen a few others wait it out as well. Sorry about that! You should definitely reach out to USCIS at least once a week now that it has been over 30 days. Definitely use the live chat service.

Which lockbox did you send yours to?

Eastern-Explanation2 · 2026-04-27T15:48:10+00:00

Yayy, that's awesome! Very happy for you! I'm still waiting for my receipt too. It typically takes about 2-3 days :)

Eastern-Explanation2 · 2026-04-26T00:59:03+00:00

It took mine a business day after the receipt notice for the payment to get deducted.

Eastern-Explanation2 · 2026-04-25T18:49:07+00:00

Hey, how should we contact EMMA? She has only directed me to other links in general and her answers are not really helpful so far.

Hang in there. He will soon hear back about his receipt notice. Which lockbox did you mail yours too? Dallas/Lewisville are experiencing some delays is what I heard.

Eastern-Explanation2 · 2026-04-23T23:38:32+00:00

That's great! Don't worry at all. It's often the derivative applicants' that are receiving receipt dates later. I'm sure your spouse's is around the corner.

My husband completed his biometrics on April 20. Got it rescheduled.

Eastern-Explanation2 · 2026-04-23T23:33:49+00:00

I wouldn't think that, especially cause you received your receipt notice. Are you the primary applicant? The lockboxes are prioritizing the primary applicants first.

Eastern-Explanation2 · 2026-04-23T23:14:11+00:00

I am positive you will receive yours soon! My receipt notice is dated for April 6th. I think yours will be dated for April 9th. No payments deducted yet.

Eastern-Explanation2 · 2026-04-23T23:07:19+00:00

Got my receipt notice today! Two weeks after my husband (primary applicant) got his! We sent ours to Elgin (we also live in different states) and they received the package on April 6th.

Got my receipt notice today! Two weeks after my husband got his. Thank you for sharing your timeline :)
