Thank you for the wonderful 'INPUTS' from all.

My case was regular federal and I send my complete docs in the 1st week of September. Its been 2 months + now and I have not received my receipt number yet. I mailed them saying the same and they said it might take 30 weeks (i.e 7-8 mtnhs) just to receive receipt for confirmation. It is very awful and fraustrating. I was also wondering if they are taking more time means they accept the application and its in processing....just trying to be positive? Or else, if rejected then they should have done it right away...correct? (just guessing)

Is anyone having a same issue? Can anyone please share their experience in the process or time taken to receive the receipt number.

Thank you
