Only because you don't see any information on who signed for it doesn't mean that it wasn't. Maybe USPS doesn't provide that info through their tracking service...with Fedex, it shows delivered and below that Signed by: J. Cates.

And if you paid for registered mail service, USPS wouldn't deliver it without getting a signature in return. ;) So I doub't it's just "sitting there somewhere"...maybe wait a few more days and then try contacting VSC or CSC (sorry, I don't know which service center Chicago belongs to) if they received your petition from TX?

Yeah, I too am unsure which service center Chicago belong to. Just to verify, I mailed the packet to:

United States Department of Homeland Secuirity

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services

P.O. Box 660151

Dallas, TX 75266

So the service center isn't in Texas but will be mailed off to another one? I'm still a bit hazy on the whole process and trying to contain my worrying while waiting for initial contact from them!

Correct, all applications are sent to the Dallas Lockbox and then sent to the service center to which your state is assigned to. My fiancé lives in NY so we should be assigned to the Vermont Service Center.

Ok, previously applications from Illinois were to be sent to CSC, so you'll probably be assigned to them too.

We sent our k1 packet out on 1-10-11 through UPS to the same location (texas). It arrived on 1-12-11 at 10:30am and was signed for by CATES. We still have not recieved any notification regaurding our packet. I know how you feel I was expecting some type of notification just to let me know they actually have it in the right office there. Hope we hear something by the end of this week. I just want to know this process has started so I can get on with the wait. :whistle: lol.

Texas checks it to see if it is correct then if it is sends it to your service center and they will send you your NOA1 if it is acepted otherwise you will get it back from Texas.

There will be NO movement Monday Jan. 17 as it is MLK day so that adds another waiting day.
