The USCIS has published on their website
http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis
a link "USCIS Answers Frequently Asked Questions about Receipting Delays" that leads to the website

which says:
Receipt Delays
U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) advises customers that, due to a tremendous increase in the number of applications filed, processing of fee payments and entry of cases into our tracking system is behind schedule. As a result, applicants can expect notices of receipt to be delayed. USCIS is working hard to deal with the increased volume and has published the following frequently asked questions in order to provide additional information to applicants (the questions are links on the originsal site).
What is the cause of the receipt delay?
How does a receipt delay affect my case?
Is this why I haven't received my receipt notice?
Is USCIS prioritizing certain application(s) during the receipting process?
What will USCIS do to ensure employment authorization documents are processed within 90 days?
How is USCIS planning to address this receipting delay?
If I filed before the new fee change and my application is rejected, do I need to pay the new higher fee?
How do I find out if my application is a part of the receipting delay?
How do I change my address while I am waiting for my receipt number? NEW
What if I need advance parole? NEW
Will my application be rejected if my check expires? NEW
I have received my receipt notice, but when I check my case online it does not appear. How do I get my case added to the system, so I can check on the progress of my case? NEW
If I filed before July 30 and there is a problem with the check I used to pay my application fees, will I have to pay the new higher fees when I reapply? NEW
What do I do if the information on my receipt is incorrect? NEW
