I was wondering, what people normally use to send the AOS package in a express delivery? USPS or UPS?

Can I choose any of those? If i choose UPS or USPS for concurrent filling the adress will be the same below?

I used UPS and mailed to the Dearborn address, rather than the PO BOX address.

I assume either is fine, but that's my experience. It was received and is processing as per my signature.

Good luck! :)

I used USPS. Don't forget if you have planning to send via USPS, choose with the registered mail so you can tracking your package. Good luck!

I sent it via ups to

USCIS
Attn: FBAS
131 South Dearborn- 3rd Floor
Chicago, IL 60603-5517

 

It was received 11/21/2017 ...but I still haven't heard back from them though there's an e-notification form as front page.
How long is the usual delay before they acknowledge having received AOS applications?
How to follow up if I don't hear anything in time?

Thanks,

Bas
