New issue. I never received my receipt for my I-485, which was sent the same time as my other documents (see date below). Also, I am not able to enter it in my online USCIS portfolio, but the service center staff assures me it is legit (they gave me the receipt no online) and the reason I am not able to add it is because of some internal systems problem.
I dont think you should worry about not seeing your application status online or your receipt no: not being recognised. I still cant see my I-131 and I-130 status online as the receipt numbers are not recognised.
Apparerently, my post office will deliver letters addressed in my name or my husband's but not one addressed jointly to us( as in me, C/O my husband)! Thus my biggest fear is that they might have sent an RFE to me which was never delivered, and which I cannot even check online (it does not accept my app no.).
NOA/RFE/communications from USCIS is addressed only to the applicant. To my knowledge, they never send out letters addressed to the "applicant, c/o sponsor" unless thats how you had your address written on the application. I get letters addressed to "me, c/o my wife" delivered to my house because thats the only way some companies allow utility bills to be printed with both our names on it. You should talk to someone in your post office and sort this issue as they are supposed to deliver mail to an address irrespective of the recipient name
So, to deal with all my problems, I am taking duplicates of everything, going to the local office and crying my heart out to an immigration officer. I have an infopass appointment for the 21st, please pray I get one with a heart.
When you meet the officer, ask for a duplicate receipt for your I-485. Good Luck and keep us posted.
