Do you get a confirmation of receipt after filing an EOIR 29?

When you file an EOIR-29, you should first receive a receipt from USCIS, and then it will take some time for USCIS to coordinate your appeal papers with the file. Once that is done, the USCIS office will look to see whether it wishes to take back its decision. If not, it will forward the complete file to the Board of Immigration Appeals for it to make a determination. Time varies on appeals to the Board depending upon the speed of the USCIS office and of the Board. It could easily take over a year. You may wish to look into the possibility of filing a new I-130 petition with the assistance of an immigration attorney.
