Filing I-751 next week - How to send

[soon2batexan 3]

Hi all,

Hard to believe 2 years has gone by already! My 90-day window begins Dec 3, so we'll be filing to remove the conditions on my PR next week.

I was planning to send the paperwork via USPS with tracking information (no signature required). Since we'll be filing with the VSC and it's going to a PO Box, I'm guessing there won't be anyone to sign for it and I don't want it to be returned for that reason. I definitely want to be able to track the package, however. What do you all who have "been there, done that" recommend? Will "certified" mail work?

I gather the folks at the US Postal Service will be able to offer me some guidance as well, but I'd appreciate your input as people who have done this before .

Also, if you have any other tips for us prior to filing, we'd appreciate it.

We've got our stack of evidence together (Incl: signed affidavits from friends, copy of our current apt lease agreement, tax transcripts, water and electric bills, bank statements, vehicle insurance cards in both names, Blue Cross invoices for services as each other's dependent, copies of both our driver's licenses, cards addressed to both of us, lots of photos, etc.) We haven't overloaded, but there's enough of everything to consistently prove our ongoing relationship.

A big thanks to all of you for your help along the way! Hope the holiday season is off to a great start for our fellow Can-Am VJers.

I just sent in our I-751 petition yesterday to VSC. Sent it USPS priority mail with delivery confirmation.

Is certified priority mail good enough or is better to use registered mail?

[Married2009 32]

If you send it thru USPS, you can get a signature, no problem. We sent ours priority, signed return receipt requested with no problems.

Certified or registered mail is overkill. If you're cutting it close to your 2-year GC expiration date, you'll want to use Express Mail (in which case tracking and delivery confirmation is included). If time is of the essence, make sure you tick the box for waiver of signature as requiring someone to sign for the package can delay delivery by a day or more.

If it doesn't absolutely, positively need to be there overnight, then use Priority Mail with Delivery Confirmation—not Signature Confirmation, for the reason described above.

Today I went to a post office and asked them about the whole signature and PO Box thing. They told me that if they receive anything for a PO Box that needs signature they would put a note in the PO Box and when the person picks it up he/she would take the note to them and sign the name. The actual PO Box is like 5 feet away from their counter. So unless whoever is picking up the mail goes to the post office after it's closed, it would not make any difference whether signature is required or not, at least that's my understanding from what they told me.

We used Priority Mail with delivery confirmation. We live so close that they got it the next day
