Mail package to Chicago

[timhber 0]

We mailed our I-485, I-131, and I-765 with all other documents in the envelope to USCIS, P.O. Box 805887, Chicago, IL. 60680-4120. We sent them with US Postal Service (USPS). We mailed the package with Certified Mail and Return Receipt on May 12 2008. We look up the label# of our package from USPS web site and found out that the package arrived at postal unit on May 14, 2008, CHICAGO, IL 60699. It's now May 20 and the package is still at the postal unit. Why is it still at the postal unit? Why won't they send our package to the USCIS address?

Is this normal that package is still at the post office for so long? What should we do? How long do people wait for their package touch by USCIS?

Also we made the check out to USCIS. I read somewhere that it should make out to U.S Department of Homeland Security. Will they send us the package back and allow us to send them correct check?

Thanks!!

We also sent our AOS package last May 14 by Certified Mail with Return Receipt.So far, the receipt number is not known in the USPS website.I'm also wondering why it is taking long to be included in their system.How did you inquire your receipt number?. It may be too early still to be worried about it but can't help to wonder about it. Hope your package is in the USCIS already at this time and the USPS is just delayed in updating their system. As to your other question, I have read here before in VJ a member who made the same mistake. The USCIS just changed the payee to US Department of Homeland Security so I hope they will do the same in your check. Good luck to us

Do you meant Certified Mail label#? The label# is on the left side of the U.S. Postal Service Certified Mail Receipt form. The clerk will give you the U.S. Postal Service Certified Mail Receipt form at the post office after you pay for the package delivery. You then go to USPS web site and click the Track & Confirm area and enter your Label# to look up where your package. I think you don't get the return receipt until the receiver (USCIS) receive your package. The USPS will mail you the green postcard with the recipient’s actual signature. I hope this helps!

Not sure exactly what this means, but I have found Return Receipt USPS service to be totally useless. Sent my package May 5th certified/return receipt as well, on May 7th the online USPS status changed to delivered, was waiting for the USPS receipt to arrive by mail, and nothing came. Then received NOA1, still no USPS receipt. Finally, received biometrics appointment leter today, and guess what, the USPS return receipt was in the mail together with it, 15 days after the application was mailed.

Thanks. I got the Certified Mail label and the series of numbers on the left side is the one I'm using in inquiring at the Track and Confirm section of USPS website.I guess they are indeed slow in updating their website. I'm just hoping now that it will get to USCIS and not elsewhere . Thanks again for the reply.
