I made a Bone-Head mistake

[GringoD 33]

I made a Bone Head mistake last Tuesday when sending in my Responses to the RFE!

Sure! I sent it certified mail, return receipt requested.

But in my haste, mixed with always a bit of anxiety that so many of us experience when sending/responding/communicating with

USCIS,... I meant to, but didn't ALSO tell the postal worker: NEXT DAY DELIVERY!

So,... it's been a week, and I'm still waiting.

That seems a bit long, Louisiana to Vermont.

I'm gonna call uscis and/or go talk to the post office today.

QUESTION: Does USCIS ALSO send text message/email upon receipt of a response to an RFE?

thanks for your help and Best Wishes for the Holiday Season!

Give it more time. This is absolutely the busiest time of year for the US Postal Service.

I only got text/email messages when they received my petitions. They never sent anything after that.

you have any tracking number on the packet, or no? if yes, easy to track.

I do note that postage paid online is much easier , also cheaper and tracking is free.

USPS tracking is a joke.

Looks like a tracking number on the side of this CERTIFIED RECEIPT.

I Know it's Christmas time and all, but I think a week is still more than long, for an envelope to get from here to there.

Mostly.... just wondering if they text and email, when they receive responses to RFE's? ? ?

Or,... if since I have not got the return receipt, NOR TEXT, nor email... then, they have not received my envelope yet.

[Darnell 8,478]

well, unsure of 'type', but you could have had 'priority mail' or 'express mail'.

Did you choose either of these, or something else?

'certified mail' doesn't let us know the speed you chose.

[GringoD 33]

Darnell,... that is my lament, at the beginning of this post....THAT I didn't send it "next-day" mail.

Regular, however Certified, is what I believe was done.

I've got the lil green receipt.

but, I meant to send it NEXT DAY DELIVERY.

A hundred other things on your mind,... end of day, trying to get to the post office before they close, etc.

My Bad.

[Darnell 8,478]

i guess the big thing should be - uhm - what , exactly, did you pay for ?

review the receipt you walked out with - what did you purchase?

Wait a minute. You have received the return receipt from USCIS--the little green card?? That means the letter was delivered to the drop box and is now in a very large pile waiting for someone to get back from the holidays to go thru it. To be certain you can go on-line and type in the certified receipt number to see what the letter's status is, but it sounds like it was at least delivered. You are not waiting for it to be received into the system by the USCIS and matched up with your file.

Good luck,

Dave

no.... sorry Dave/Roza... I got the lil green receipt they give you when you mail it.

Haven't got the green card back yet, which then lets you know that they got it.

THAT's why I'm asking about... IF YOU GET AN EMAIL/TEXT MESSAGE... when they receive responses to RFE's.... because as Hank states... sometimes the USPS can really screw things up. and down. and all around.

I agree.

Not when you have a way to track the package. I think you can track it by the number on your certified receipt. And give it a week or two, to receive the green return receipt. Hang in there!

Yup. This is one of the best lines ever said about USPS tracking. They can't be trusted!

I bed to disagree. USPS has NEVER disappointmented me in anything yet talk less of immigration journey (both local ad international postage). then again we all have diffrent experiences

[EMB & CEM 1]

it shouldn't be more than 5 business days for them to have received it. But i don't think they are like NVC in letting you know if it's been received or not.
