Problem with USPS I-129f

[Austin McCabe 2]

Hello all! First post here. 

 

I was planning to mail out my I-129f on August 1, but pushed it back to August 2, in order to speak with an attorney and have them look it over for me before I sent it. I was in a bit of a rush trying to send it out that day and put it all together and sent it through Office Depot. 

 

A week has passed and USPS still says “USPS waiting for package” or something along those lines. I have called both Office Depot (who say the package has been picked up) and USPS (who say if it has been picked up, it was not scanned and I will only know that it is not lost if I receive notification from the recipient). 

 

I paid for it to be delivered two days ago, so I’m hoping it has been and I will receive a text/email soon as well as the NOA1. 

 

Has anyone had a similar issue?

 

Thank you

Can take up to 2 weeks after delivery to get a sms reply from uscis 

 

As an aside,  one would think that intermediary and delivery scans would have happened

Those were my thoughts as well. It has been very confusing trying to communicate with USPS. I am just hoping to not have to file the entire petition again.

I hope you made a back up copy of everything.  Always go to the shipping company directly to hand over your (life) package to. Never a third party. I hope you find the package and or it gets delivered.

You can give the tracking number to lockboxsupport@uscis.dhs.gov. if they have it they will let you know

Made two copies and both have original signatures!  The only thing I don’t have a copy of is a passport photo of my fiancé taken in the last 30 days 😕

That is easily overcome.   Did you send a  check or other form of payment?

Weird timing but it just got delivered to my house saying additional postage was due. Office Depot didn’t charge me enough so i’m taking straight to the post office now!

Good decision.  Your case will be on it's way. Be sure you buy tracking so you can follow it as it travels on its way to USCIS.

Done! I was kind of perterved with the shape of the envelope when I got it back, so I tucked the packet into a hard folder to mail off this time 😂

 

Thanks for responding, the two of you! Just having someone to talk to about this process makes it a lot less stressful.
