can someone plz help

[darvish 1]

My wife arrived a month ago through CR1. apparently while we were away the welcome letter came but my parents lost them and they didnt read what was on the letter. Do you know what is on the letter and wat can we do ?

the welcome letter doesn't get you anything.

for now, call into USCIS, ask the human that answers the phone

about the green card shipment, and ask for the USPS tracking number,

then report back here what you learned.

Thanks !

Darnell is correct, if it was just the welcome letter you are fine, it jsut says welcome to the USA basically. Do make sure they didn't also get the greencard though, or the SSN (they come in separate envelopes but often around the same time)

What was your parents excuse for loosing both the welcome letter and the card? Did they not realize the importance of all the documents that are sent to you ? They just have to look a bit harder to find it. I hope it hasn't been binned. Phone and ask for advice how you can obtain another card.

Good Luck.

Call into USCIS.

Ask when the greencard was mailed. If they show notice that it was sent via USPS, there will be a tracking number.

Get the tracking number, then look it up at www.usps.com

Then let us know what's what, aye?

Please, I beg of you, read and use a telephone. TIA !

well this is what happened. it was recieved at my parent's house and my parents sent those to my address but USPS lost them. they cant even track this. I wanna know what I can do here? is it USPS fault? what do i need to tell USCIS?

[darvish 1]

anyone?

I guess technically USPS is at fault but you have no way to prove that as the stuff wasn't sent on recorded delivery.

How long ago did they send it? Maybe it is just taking a long time because of the holidays.

If it is truly lost, you will need to file for a replacement card which is costly. Before you do, change your address!

well it was sent through Certified mail.

I am getting confused. In your first post, you didn't even seem sure what was sent and now you are sure it was the greencard and it was sent certified mail?

If they sent it certified mail, there should be a record of them sending it and if they sent it with delivery confirmation also who (if anyone) received it.

your parents sent something certified. certified with a tracking number or no ?

You should chase it down with your parents and USPS.

This kind of stuff, though, is really important - you should have told your parents to hold your mail, and then YOU show up to claim it, at their house.

I like the new story.

but I sense there's still more to it than you are telling.

Tell more, please?

My parents have no regard for my mail. I hate it.

My mother gave me a bill when I was in town (2) weeks ago from February.......
