Just anecdotally as an American in the South, Midwest or Great Plains (try and find me now FBI): In other circumstances you definitely can use I've in American English, like "I've been waiting," and "I've not" doesn't sound unnatural to me, just a little stuffy, but "I haven't" is for sure more common.
