So Im somwat new to this but not completley new to visa processing as I have had a visa returned due to an error made but i was currious if anyone could tell me how long it took for there reciept number to come after the I 130 form was sent into the visa center. Any help is greatley appreciated.
it used to take a week
nowadays, ever since the fee increase, you should't be surprised if it takes them over 2 months to send you a NOA1 for your I-130

Wow, mine just cleared today, 1 month after it was delivered.
I wasn't expecting it so soon - hope the NOA1 will be here soon.

You should send your I-130 to the Chicago lockbox and not the processing center. You might be receiving your NOA1 within a month or so. Ours took about a month to get our check cleared.
Good luck
