USPS Track & Confirm

[samsbs 0]

I just want to vent a little. I sent my wife's N-400 Application off Dec. 1st via USPS certified mail. It only has to go from Northern Ca. to Laguna niguel, Ca. So far it is not in the USPS system (Dec 8th). I called and after listening to recordings for 20 minutes I finally got a real person. Gave her the tracking number and and she has no idea where my mail is. She says every person who touches the package is supposed to scan it, so I figured at least 4 people have screwed up so far. She says there is no problem just wait a few more days and if it doesn't track try to get back to them. What a cluster the postal service is. Oh how I wish I would have sent it Fedex.

USPS really sucks! They act as though they are doind us a favor by posting our mail. Even when they do screw up, they don't own up to it. Just excuses and excuses. And most of the time that mail is lost or delivered late, there's no place where we can complain or get some kind of a refund. Waste of our tax dollars.

It is very common to get odd messages (or none at all) when tracking packages to USCIS - whether it's USPS or another service. Mail/parcels are often delivered in BULK and there really is no one person to sign for a single package.

I always advise folks to simply use USPS Priority - and not spend the extra money trying to get a signature confirmation because it (almost always) is of little use.

Priority mail with Delivery Confrimation is excellent for most USCIS petitions; gets it there within 2 days, and you can track that it was delivered for near-fixed cost of $5.45!

-- I had the same experience with them, i sent my AOS package thru USPS cert mail Sept 23 and was worried why i can't track it. So i tried to call the USPS cust service but yeah they did not know where was my packet. They only updated the system the time they delivered it to Chicago lockbox last Oct 2.. from VA to Chicago took 10days!!!!! yeah thats why until now i dont have biometrics sched yet, coz we noticed all those whose packet that were delivered by Oct 2 has never received biometrics yet.... i never expected it will take 10days before they delivered it!!!! sucks!!!!

I mailed it priority Mail with a tracking number. I did not ask for a signature. You would think that after 8 days they could have it tracked for me. The check will be cashed before I get confirmation of delivery.

I sent mine certified mail with a return receipt requested.

I mailed it on 12/01 it was delivered on 12/03 they mailed out the receipt on 12/04 and I received that on 12/06. So no probs with mine thank goodness. I am sure it will show in the system soon.

I emailed the USPS and actually got a reply. It tells me that the USPS does not track certified mail. So I emailed back and asked if they do not why do they give you a tracking number and tell you that you can track it on their website?

They also said they have no record of my letter and can do nothing for me until they do. I have the tracking number which means nothing to them because no one bothered to enter it into the system. I don't know what to do, resend the N-400 which means copying around 30 pages again, canceling the check, getting two more photos ($16). I am going to wait one more day. I keep checking my bank account to see if they have cashed the check. I hate to send another and they end up with two applications.

Oh what to do?

If I were you,I'll wait till the end of December. I sent mine priority mail and just paid for the delivery confirmation and I tracked it online. I wonder why they didn't do that to your mail.

I find that strange too. I use certified mail alot and always its been ok.

I would not know what to do in your situation!

Could you post the address that you sent your mail to? In other mean, the address from the receipt copy that USPS gave you when you submitted your mail.

Other thing, if you have a copy of your check, you may want to review it again and make share the fee number and letter is entered correctly.

USPS finally found the package and are forwarding to Laguna Niguel. Where it was I don't know, but I raised hell with them for three days until they found it. Now to wait for the check to be cashed.

Best of luck. Hopefully they will stop screwing around and get their act together.
