I am so confused. Did you fill out your i 751 form that way? 

My wife and I did her I-751 together.......She signed in her area.....I signed as spouse.

No.  I didn't prepare it.  We discussed the questions as she filled in the form.

@Lucky Cat

 

I would like to add myself to the MSC spreadsheet - do you need my data or can I edit myself? 

 

Are there any news on the MSC processing timeline? I can't find anything on official USCIS portals..

I think I will do the same way as you. Due to pandemic, I would like to think about that rather than normal priority mail.

You should be able to edit it......although I have had to give permission for some people......If you can't, just request permission via the spreadsheet.

USPS Priority Mail costs less and arrives in a couple days, and it allows tracking.  It is not normal mail.

I did it because I wanted it to arrive as quick as possible (my window for filing opened on the 28th, which was a Sunday) and I wanted a safe tracking way. Overnight express worked really well for all my time sensitive documents, including the Proof of Delivery from USPS, in case somebody loses something within the  bureaucratic belly of the beast... my sanity is worth that money.. haha

I used that USCIS filing calculator which, thank god, somebody posted on here. Otherwise I'd have sent my stuff 2 days too early, which would have resulted in rejected application.
