Delay in Issuance of I-129 Receipt Notices

[sn530 27]

This is for the recent applicants, I noticed some people had asked about "Receipt Notices" confirmation that the I129 has been recieved by USCIS.

There is a bit of a Back Log, Bulliten Below was issues on May 23th 2012.

Temporary Delay in Issuance of I-129 Receipt Notices

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services sent this bulletin at 05/23/2012 05:09 PM EDT

Due to the high number of recently filed I-129 petitions with USCIS, customers may experience a longer than usual period of time to receive a receipt notice from USCIS. Usually, customers can expect to receive their receipt notice within 30 days of delivery confirmation. However, due to an unexpectedly high volume of I-129 petitions, it may be an additional two to four weeks before customers receive a receipt notice.

Customers who do not receive notification of receipt of an I-129 petition within 60 days of their delivery confirmation date may contact the appropriate Service Center via the email addresses listed on our Contact Us Web page. This is a temporary situation and we apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

That's for I-129, not the I-129F. Two different things!

There have been several threads about this already. It does not apply to I-129F.
