Will the VSC sign for a USPS return receipt for a mailed I-751?

[mikellen 0]

Hello all,

I contacted the USCIS 3 times and cannot get a definite answer on this. I need to send our I-751 to the Vermont Service Center and plan on sending it with U.S. Postal Service Priority Mail with Certified and a return receipt. This means that someone will need to sign the return receipt to accept

the package.

Is sending the I 751 this way common or should I just send it Priority Mail with Delivery Confirmation to avoid any mailing hassle?

I do not want to have our I-751 returned because no one at the VSC is available to sign for the return receipt.

How did you all send in the I-751?

Thanks in advance for any responses.

Sending it Priority mail with Delivery Confirmation is just fine. That's what I did and that's what many people did without any problems.

Forgot to mention that I'd like to mail it in a medium sized Priority Mail Flat Rate Box because it is rigid and would protect the package better in the mail transit compared to the pliable Priority mailing envelope.

I know this seems like a trivial question to ask but will it be o.k. to mail it in a larger, sturdier box such as the Priority Mail Flat Rate Box?

Thanks.

USPS priority with delivery confirmation - trying to get a signature confirmation is essentially a waste of money and often results in misleading tracking information (so don't bother).

I don't see why not! I think as long as you follow the instructions and write on the envelop (box) I-751 Removal of Conditions - then they should accept it.

Good luck!

USPS Express and waive the signature. You get email confirmation if you sign up for it. Overnight service also.

They signed for mine at VSC. I did my shipment through the Automated Postal Center (probably a mistake) so I just decided to get "everything" so I sent it Priority Mail, Certified with mail and email return receipt. The tracking didn't work but once it arrived I got two emails, one telling me the shipment arrived and one with the electronic return receipt.

Is it important to write I-751 removal of Conditions on the outside of the Priority Mail package? I didn't even think about doing that since I didn't see it in the instructions.

I don't think it is required, but I believe it will speed things up since VSC receives different kinds of applications...

Here is what I wrote:

Attention: I-751 petition to remove conditions of status

I can't remember where I read it or who suggested it, but I don't think everyone does it so you should be fine. I'll dig into it and see if I can find the reference.

The first time I mailed anything to USCIS I used UPS so I would know who signed for it. Now I work for USPS, and will be sending Priority Mail certified with return receipt: it will get there, they sign for things every single day. If they can sign for the UPS guy, then they can sign for the mail man!

hi,

You always send the package in which ever envelope it goes. Dont go for just flat rate box because its cheaper. Use an envelope if it sends the delivery faster. I always send USPS with signature confirmation because when you do that you get the name of person who signed like if it is John Smith you get J Smith.

It doesnt make sense to worry about 20 $ when you are sending very very important paperwork...Remember US is land of opportunity where you can earn 20 bucks in an hour.

I send mine overnight express with signature

one advice there was a member here not to long ago he mailed it in a flat rate box , got his pakage returned to him stating not enough postage

( I know flat rates are one price but somehow the postoffice messed up for that VJ member )

so i would take jigis advise and pay the extra fee bucks to make sure those important documents get there safe
