How long should we wait for them to notify us that they RECEIVED it. i am not even talking about processing, I just want to make sure they received it :(

The way to know that the IRS received your mailed tax return is to send it by certified mail with a return receipt. That gives you tracking and confirmation of delivery. If you didn't do that, there is nothing you can do at this point except wait. DO NOT send another copy of your tax return.
The IRS has nearly 6 million mailed tax returns that they haven't even looked at yet. For most of those they haven't even opened the envelope, so even the IRS doesn't actually know that they have received your tax return. That's why you can't get any information. The IRS has said that they hope to clear the backlog of unprocessed returns by the end of 2022.
