FedEx HAS LOST my RFE Documents

[Roxyroo 1]

Hi all,

Here is the story. I received an RFE for my K1 petition last Monday. In spite of the fact that I live and work in Colombia (or because of this) they do not believe that my fiance and I have ever met in person. We met at work and want to send letters of employment from the school, in addition to other evidence. (Yes, I already sent my work visa, blah blah blah, but for some reason it is still dubious. Sigh.)

The hitch in this is that I am in the States for the holidays and my fiance and ALL the doc's for this are in Colombia. The deadline for receipt of the evidence is Jan 4. I return to Colombia Dec 29, and immediately travel again.

I contacted my fiance and on Tuesday he overnighted the documents that we need through TNT so that I can get them translated, get back to Colombia, go through the rest of my files and find other relevant evidence, and overnight this packet from Colombia to the California Service Center.

HOWEVER, FedEx delivers TNT packages from Colombia, and FedEx has lost the packet. I have been on the phone with them all day and they claim that it was left here at my parents' residence last Friday afternoon but it was not. They are trying to locate it.

There is a warning on the RFE that if all the evidence requested is not sent in one packet by Jan 4, the visa may be denied. And this will be purely the fault of FedEx. And there are the holidays and being between the 2 countries and everything.

What can I do? Can FedEx write me/CSC a letter at the very least, to include when I send the evidence?

Thanks a million, VJers.

sorry to hear that, to be honest if that package is lost, then it is lost....i am a UPS driver and i have lost boxes before (actually missed delivered to a different address), sometimes you have so many stops and things it gets missed placed and you forget where and when. i mean this rarely happens but it does happen. the only thing Fredex can do is replace what you were sending, but in your case it was important documents so what i would recomend you is to i do it all again and have Fredex pay for all express shipping charges. sorry but you should have shipped UPS my friend....

That's comforting.

you have to request that they GPS where the package was scaned and where it was released.... he may have left it at aanother house thinking it was the address in the sequence. sometimes when address numbers are not visible or hard to find we can only try our best with the number sequence. i have onced delivered a package to a house, then realized that it was the house 2 doors down, i caught myself and went back....but fredex can GPS where the package was scaned (usually 20 feet from exact point) and that'll most likely help as to where the package was delivered.....(95% of the time we scan the package at the location we are delivering)

All shippers this time of year are in panic mode and it basically a cluster **. Busiest time of the year for them being Christmas.....

Call Fed Ex and ask for the Customer Advisment Rep in your city, they will transfer and they should be able to help you better than the normal "Idiots" that do Customer Service.

While you're doing all you can to find the package, get something in writing from FedEx regarding the loss and send that with an explanation and anything else you can possibly send that's responsive to the RFE. In your letter, ask for more time to complete your response. Based on the circumstances, I don't see why USCIS wouldn't grant your request.
