suzanne4, RN · Dec 11, 2004

my attorny just filed my application at the end of last week using DHL. The INS will soppose to receive it by the next monday 10:30 am.
How long will it take for me to get the receipt number?
I called the INS and they said it could take 30 d! if that is true, I won't get my receipt number by the end of dec. .
Since for the vermont center my attorney said I can't file my EDA application until I get the letter regarding my receipt number because he have to send my EDA application to Chicago center instead of vermont service center.
If I can not receive the recipt number by end of dec, is that mean my case will be consider as the Jan.2005 case and can not get the EDA any more?
very upset and anxious, appreciate any input here!

Many people are saying that the time will go from when they actually receive payment for the visa at the center. Right now there are many different interpretations going around. It will also depend on how quickly that your application will be processed/ Be aware that this is now the major holiday season in the US, the centers wil at least be closed on December 24th, as well as the 31st, and maybe even more days. So that amkes fewer days.

The only thing that I can suggest is to keep after your attorney at this point, don't know what else to tell you.
