Has anyone had problems having their petition delivered?

[pro_star 52]

Howdy all, I confess, first time poster on here.

Finally got all the paperwork together for the K1 Visa Application, sent in by my wonderful and awesome fiance. (he's the one down in the states.)

Go to track the package...

Your Item's StatusYour item was refused by the addressee at 10:28 am on May 24, 2013 in LEWISVILLE, TX 75067 and is being returned to the sender. Information, if available, is updated periodically throughout the day. Please check again later

Has anyone else out there had issues? It was sent to:

USCIS
Attn: I-129F
2501 South State Highway 121 Business
Suite 400
Lewisville, TX 75067

Should I chalk it down to "USPS...did you try to deliver it to the wrong place"? and just try again once it gets returned?

You must have forgotten something important for it to be returned to you. There's nothing wrong with the address you sent it to.

Was the payment made out correctly and for the proper amount? Was an important form forgotten? You'll have to ask your fiance.

[pro_star 52]

Well that's the thing...it was refused from the post-level, so they didn't even SEE what was in the package. Strange!

[J & L 10]

I think that's the right address, as shown on the web site... did you use express/ courier mail to send it there?

[Penny Lane 8,159]

If there was nothing wrong with it, they would have accepted it.

Most of the time when something is returned to sender, or rejected, there is something wrong with the package and that's usually the fee. Again, do you know if the check/money order was made out properly?

[pro_star 52]

JL, yeah, it was USPS express - so we could get the tracking numbers and stalk it that way.

Penny Lane, again, it's like they told the USPS guy "nope that's not for us" or something. Pretty sure the cheque was made out properly.

It's just boggling my brain.

You don't know that. They're a sorting facility. They'll look to make sure if everything's right and if it isn't, they'll reject it and send it back. If everything's okay, they will forward it to the correct service center. You sent it to the correct location, so that can't be why. It's time to start investigating other possible reasons.

[J & L 10]

Now getting paranoid about sending stuff to Lewisville... if you ever figure out what was wrong with it, please let me know!

[Penny Lane 8,159]

Though technically, since you used USPS, you should have sent it to Dallas. Lewisville is if you're using a courier such as UPS or FedEx. But I've never seen that be a problem for people before. I made the same mistake and they just forwarded it to Dallas.

I dunno, just my office experience that when they take (tracked/couriered) mail, they'll stamp/sign it as delivered...and THEN sort/open it and go through it. It's not like they'd make the posties wait around while they open and go through every single package...

I just hope if they do return it and that was the case, they'll put a note in saying why.

J & L, will do for sure! I mean, if this is an oopsie that we made, then I'd rather save other people the stress!!!

*ninja edit* hmmm...I guess they can still do the tracking if it's sent to a PO Box...right?

Not for this, at this level. The package was unopened, refused by recipient.

For the things you've described, USCIS sends it all back without any tracking info. They DO OPEN the package, and check it, discarding the outer package itself.

'something' to USCIS, alas, isn't the right label here, at all.

pro star, it's odd for sure. Ask in this off topic forum:

And yes, they can track to a PO Box

I know for a fact I've seen a poster here talk about their package being refused and when they had it returned, it was due to forgetting the payment.

But who knows. Was just trying to give reasons as to why there's an issue.

If you send it by USPS, you have to send it to Dallas. I'm pretty sure that's what the problem was. Maybe others have not had that problem, but I sent mine to Dallas by USPS, and it was accepted without any trouble. Just send it through USPS to Dallas next time, and I think you should be fine.

[Penny Lane 8,159]

Lewisville usually forwards to Dallas. I wonder why they didn't in this case.
