Please advise...I Sent requested documents to USCIS office via UPS...but it's closed today? Help!

I need some reassurance or wisdom from someone who is familiar with how things like this work. A little over 3 months ago, we applied for my son's N600 (certificate of citizenship), and we received a receipt letter shortly therafter. Did not hear anything for about 3 months then this past Monday (2 days ago as I type this) we received a letter from USCIS asking us to sign the 2 passport-style photos on the front of the photos (we had sent in the photos with the application but they included them in their letter to us Monday with directions telling us to sign the front of them....I hope that's a good indication it is almost finished), and to mail them the signed photos along with his green card (I hope that means the N600 is approved since they asked for his actual green card but who knows). So yesterday I go to the UPS Store and send everything I am supposed to (I sent it UPS via overnight Next Day Air with adult signature required and delivery confirmation)to the USCIS office in Louisville as directed. Well after I got home I was looking online and saw the USCIS Office (at least Suite 390, which is where I sent the documents to) is closed on Wednesdays!!! So I have been worried about what UPS would do with our documents they are supposed to deliver. I have been tracking them online and it says they were delivered this morning and signed for by a person with the last name of XXXXXX at the front desk. Should I be concerned that they werent actually delivered to the suite 390? Or do all deliveries go to a front desk at a building like this? Should I be concerned about that office (suite 390) being closed today when they were delivered? I don't know anything about how these offices or buildings work so it has me worried. If you have any thoughts or insight at all into this, I would really appreciate it.

I dont know how the particular office works, but speaking from my own work experience. Usually there were people who received all mail, then it goes to the appropriate department from there. I worked for a federal agency so only authorized personnel were allowed after a certain point, so mailmen could not drop things off to specfic suites. I hope that helps.

Don't Worry. You are safe. Even when such offices are closed, Mail is accepted by authorized front desk personnel, if on duty, otherwise, by security staff. Its an official building/office. Security Personnel is assumed to be on-site. If not, then they have after-hour drop boxes. You have nothing to worry about as you have delivery confirmation. I would say....Congratulations!

Thanks for replying. What you said makes sense that at a federal building there would be a place where packages have to dropped off rather than just have UPS/FedEx going room to room for deliveries...I hope you are right. It's crazy that there is no way to check with an office like that to simply see if they received it. So what do I do now? Surely it was not just left laying at the front desk?

Thanks and I hope and pray your congratulations are correct :-)

Surely to goodness they would not ask for the green card (and for us to sign the photos) unless it was going to be approved....right?

Now I am scared to death whoever received it at the front desk just left in laying somewhere or took it to the wrong room/suite or something. There is no way of me knowing!
