There are several scenarios:
1. For Mantikos, they did not reply and took him a long time and and a lots of try to realize his I 130 was missing /lost.
2. There is something wrong with your application :
a. your bar code at the bottom is not readable
b, wrong fee
c, some areas within the application was not machine readable...etc
regardless, your application was not considered for rejection right away, which is a good news, more likely it was sent for review, in that case it will take some time for them to process your application and YOU WILL NOT LOSE THE time you have applied. They took so long to process my application but it shows my date as July 8,2011. The day they actually receive the package.
Hang tight there, it will be processed .
(whispers) today I got lucky with a lady, who was concerned, it has been more then 10 days that I have not received a receipt number and she herself connected me to TIER 2 agent. I also got lucky that my application was just processed when I spoke to the tier 2 agent. He was courteous but a bit annoyed, that I did not give them 30 days. He calmed down after I told him all I wanted to do is verify if my application was rejected(in that case I would have lose the time)
Good luck
