I sent my I-129F Packet III checklist off to the US Embassy on a Special Delivery - Next Day 1pm service. I did this Thursday so it would arrive on Friday.

The online tracking for Royal Mail/Postoffice keeps complaining of being down so I called up today.

The automated phone system tracker said it was being processed through their system, so I asked for operator assistance. The Operator said that it was "Sitting in their PO box, awaiting collection".

He couldn't provide any more information than that.

So, I'm curious as to how long it takes them to get their mail from their PO box, and whether I should just send a copy of the checklist (of course I made copies ) via standard 1st class mail to ensure it all gets there ASAP.

Thoughts?

I would have thought that it is checked through out the working day...

I was just a little concerned as they would have scheduled the delivery before 1pm Friday, and it was still "Waiting to be collected" on Saturday.

I will check again mid-Monday and if Royal Mail can't tell me if it has been delivered or not I shall send off my second copy

I'm just anxious to get through this last bit of the process :grins: My impatience doesn't show at _all_, does it?
