I have sent my I130 Petition to USCIS Chicago Lockbox on Dec. 31st and it has still not been received. I sent it from The Netherlands and it's only supposed to take 10 days to arrive in Chicago. When I track it it says its been "received to the country of destination" on Jan. 6 but not delivered.

 

Is anyone else experiencing slow delivery to USCIS because of government shutdown?

The notice of reception or NOA1 can take 2-3 weeks and even up to 30 days. Typical time frame. At this point the shut down has no effect on USCIS that we know of.

06/30/2016 : I-129F Packet Sent

It may take weeks to get the NOA1 as Ben&Zian stated.  Did you include the G-1145?  Is the response being sent to the Netherlands?  I have never heard of a petition going missing.

 

The shutdown does not impact the processing of petitions at all since they are fee based.  

PHILIPPINES ONLY!!!  CFO (Commission on Filipinos Overseas) INFO - Can't leave home without it!
