You will see Receive Date on your receipt notice, most probably 13th.
I called USCIS today to find my receipt numbers as I am already in 4th week. They said initially it was taking 3-4 weeks to send notice numbers but looks like now it's taking around 7-8 weeks to get them and asked us to be patient, he also said some people may be getting but it doesn't mean that every one should get around the same time duration. The guy I spoke with at USCIS also was mentioning there was some issue with their system regarding posting the applications which might have caused some delays.

Visa Bulletin Mess Update: Rumors and Innuendo
HLG has confirmed that the CIS is not returning I-485 Applications back to those who filed I-485 during the first week of July. This is leading many to speculate that the CIS may reverse course and re-re-amend the July Visa Bulletin; whether the Visa Bulletin actually reopens remains to be seen. HLG normally refrains from commenting on rumors, but we have talked to several Washington insiders and believe that this is seriously being considered.
What does this mean for foreign nationals who planned on filing I-485s in July 2007?
HLG recommends that all foreign nationals who planned on filing I-485s in June take two actions:
1. Have your medical appointments completed. Medical appointments can back up quite quickly. Therefore we urge people to complete their medicals.
2. Send in your documents to HLG. HLG’s I-485 Step By Step Guide has a list of documents that we need for all I-485 filing. HLG will not begin preparing the I-485 at this time, but we still recommend that you send us all of the items on the list.

What does this mean for foreign nationals who planned on filing via Consular Processing?
We urge all foreign nationals to attend consular appointments. The Consulates are clearly issuing visa stamps to those with appointments.

Lofgren Gives Uscis Three Days To Answer Questions
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BREAKING NEWS: LOFGREN GIVES USCIS THREE DAYS TO ANSWER QUESTIONS
http://blogs.ilw.com/gregsiskind/
Congresswoman Zoe Lofgren (D-CA), chair of the House Immigration Subcommittee, sent Secretary Chertoff a list of questions and a request for documents from USCIS to get to the bottom of the whole Visa Bulletin fiasco. The letter is very interesting not just because it puts a heck of a lot of pressure on DHS right now, but also because Lofgren's folks imply from the questions that USCIS was short circuiting established security clearance procedures to "pre-request" visa numbers from DOS. If it turns out full security clearances were not carried out, USCIS will either need to say that they had the legal justification (which would be a public relations disaster for the agency) or that they intended to complete the checks after the fact (which would be a direct violation of their own regulations). The only way to avoid answering the questions and to make this go away would be to eat crow and start working the case July cases.

My experiance with IO
I called just a while ago, first time I reached a rude lady. First she asked me "are you from Military Service", then she told me there is lot of back log and rudely advised me to check the back side of cleared checks for receipt#. I politely told her that my case was filed by attorny and requested for status. After couple of rude remarks
confused she transfered the call to another queue. After 18 minutes of wait a nice lady answered the call and provided the receipt numbers of I485/765/131 and told me that it was processed on 7/9/07.
Here are my case details:
Sent I485/765/131 packet to NSC on 6/12/2007, received at NSC on 6/13/2007, processed on 7/9/2007.
When I checked my case status online it said "...This case is at our TEXAS SERVICE CENTER location...". It is interesting to note that my case was transfered to TSC (heard that things are moving faster at TSC).
One more interesting note that all three LUDs are updated today's date not sure if it is reflecting my call date(?) or something else...
Best of luck folks...

Info not in the system
My attorney said my application was sent out on June 8th. So hopefully NSC would have rcvd it on or before 11th. Today I called 800 375 5283, they said my name is not yet entered in the system. Why should it take so much time?
Since our company is paying the checks, it is difficult for us to get the info from the accounts dept. My company is a huge one.
What should I do to know if we are in or on pending list? Or can we assume that whoever filed in June or before the last week is safe?
Thanks

I-140: Approved May 30 07
I-485, I-131 and I-765[/B] Delivered to NSC by Jun 15 07
Got my FP done today 7/11.
FP code 3 was done for me and my spouse, the agent was good and really helpful, he was able to find out by looking at my finger prints that i had some burn on my fingers. I was amazed, a burn when i was 2 yrs old gets reflected in finger prints. Hope my name check gets cleared smoothly.
I got LUDs on me and my spouse case today itself.
Anyway things went well, good luck to other fellows for rest of the process.

Was your AP mailed to your home address or attorney. Thanks.
Correct. That is second method of filing AOS (I485) which is outside USA, mostly at applicants home country. For more details, refer USCIS website.

Filed on Jun 14 - nothing yet
Just spoke w/ an IO who was not nearly as nice as the first one I spoke w/ last week (I happen to have the names of both but will refrain from posting them here). He pretty much told me I was not in the system and when asked how long I should wait before I call again, he said I had to wait for as long as it would take NSC to open my documents.... I asked did that mean I should wait for a year and he said not a year. Then he told me something about how I should have filed in a more timely fashion?!? I explained I filed in the middle of June when my PD was current. But ok, I take the blame for this grand mess - it is completely my fault that people are waiting for receipts for over a month now so everybody on these forums now knows where to channel their frustrations (i.e. my way). He was definitely rude... He even said that if they open my documents after the cutoff date, i.e. the retrogression date of July 2, then they would return my documents to me. Now that was a new one!!
