What is the current normal timeline for receiving the 485 Receipt Notice now? We are filing for my wife (K-1 entry) next week and her I-94 expires in about 4 weeks (Aug 21) from now. Would there be any reason to be concerned if we don’t get the receipt notice before then?
 
We’d also like for her to fly domestically in early September, but the receipt notice is needed for that, correct?

we got our NOA1 about 4 weeks after we submitted.

just be careful when driving and such. but theres no real concern if you don't have the NOA by then. when you do receive the NOA1, just keep a copy of it with you whenever you go out.

 

correct, you would want to have the receipt notice.

Hopefully you filed for the employment authorization card and requested SS card. With that you can apply for dl or state ID. Until then you would have to use foreign passport.

We already got her social security card and will file the 765 concurrently with the 485.

Just in case, see if anything is helpful in the latter half of the opening post here:

 

06-04-2007 = TSC stamps postal return-receipt for I-129f.

06-11-2007 = NOA1 date (unknown to me).

07-20-2007 = Phoned Immigration Officer; got WAC#; where's NOA1?

09-25-2007 = Touch (first-ever).

09-28-2007 = NOA1, 23 days after their 45-day promise to send it (grrrr).

10-20 & 11-14-2007 = Phoned ImmOffs; "still pending."

12-11-2007 = 180 days; file is "between workstations, may be early Jan."; touches 12/11 & 12/12.

12-18-2007 = Call; file is with Division 9 ofcr. (bckgrnd check); e-prompt to shake it; touch.

12-19-2007 = NOA2 by e-mail & web, dated 12-18-07 (187 days; 201 per VJ); in mail 12/24/07.

01-09-2008 = File from USCIS to NVC, 1-4-08; NVC creates file, 1/15/08; to consulate 1/16/08.

01-23-2008 = Consulate gets file; outdated Packet 4 mailed to fiancee 1/27/08; rec'd 3/3/08.

04-29-2008 = Fiancee's 4-min. consular interview, 8:30 a.m.; much evidence brought but not allowed to be presented (consul: "More proof! Second interview! Bring your fiance!").

05-05-2008 = Infuriating $12 call to non-English-speaking consulate appointment-setter.

05-06-2008 = Better $12 call to English-speaker; "joint" interview date 6/30/08 (my selection).

06-30-2008 = Stokes Interrogations w/Ecuadorian (not USC); "wait 2 weeks; we'll mail her."

07-2008 = Daily calls to DOS: "currently processing"; 8/05 = Phoned consulate, got Section Chief; wrote him.

08-07-08 = E-mail from consulate, promising to issue visa "as soon as we get her passport" (on 8/12, per DHL).
