US Immigration from Wales

I sent off my documents for ROC end of September and my credit card was charged on October 16th. I've yet to hear anything from USCIS about it and get a case number. Is it normal to wait this long without a notification or?

Thanks

Qualifying beneficiaries must be outside the United States, meet all requirements, including screening and vetting and medical requirements, and must not have already received an immigrant visa.

MEXICO CITY (AP) The Biden administration will resume deporting Venezuelan migrants, the largest single group encountered at the U.S.-Mexico border last month, back to their economically troubled country as their arrivals continue to grow.

U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, speaking in Mexico City, cited the new measure as one of the strict consequences the Biden administration is pairing with the expansion of legal pathways for asylum seekers.

Our two countries are being challenged by an unprecedented level of migration throughout our hemisphere, Mayorkas said, referring to Mexico.

The repatriation flights are expected to begin shortly, said two U.S. officials, though they did not provide specific details on when the flights would begin taking off. The officials were not authorized to disclose details of the government s plan and spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity.
