Easy Question, I think

[cjgator 2]

Hi all. I'm breathing a temporary sigh of relief, because we just got my wife's documents sent off for the adjustment of status (it's going to the Chicago Lockbox). A quick question: Can anyone offer a perspective on how long before USCIS will send an I-797 stating all has been receieved? This is relevant to us because our state DMV only gave her a temporary driver's license, which will expire in about 45 days, and can only be renewed with the production of an I-797 on the adjustment of status.

Thanks.

Oooo I think you might be a little confused. Have you confirmed with the DMV that it's just the proof of FILING they need? Because the I-797 when referred to in MOST DMV sites is the I-797A which is the greencard approval letter, not the AOS receipt letter.

In either event, you can have a look at my timeline, I sent my stuff April 14, got online notification of receipt on April 20th, and the physical NOA1 on the 28th so that's 2 weeks from when I sent the paperwork.
