Signature requirement for package

[JeffandNadine 14]

We sent our I-751 yesterday with usps requiring a signature for delivery, is this okay?

[Timona 4,207]

Not sure if they will re-attempt delivery if someone does not sign. You should have just gone commando.

Expect a good amount of delays due to signature requirement. It's a PO box address, nobody will be sitting inside the box to sign. So a bit of delay will be there.

Fedex or ups is fine because they deliver to the actual location where someone will be there to sign. Usps delivers to PO boxes. They have a bit lengthy process for signature process at PO boxes.

Oh oh did not know that!

FedEx delivery is probably different because it's sent to the building and not to a PO Box.

 

For the last thing I sent, the I-130 petition in 2020 via USPS, I don't remember if I requested signature or confirmed delivery.  But I do remember seeing that someone did sign for the package.  I think it was something done automatically by the courier that picks up all the mail at the PO Box for delivery to the office, but I'm not sure...

When I sent my AOS in 2019 I did send it with USPS signature required, and it did arrive well.

Then we got a RFE for evidence in the middle of the pandemic. Same thing, USPS signature required. It was signed by "COVID" lol

USCIS do sign for UPS and Fedex, and both of the companies will provide proof of signature and date/time of delivery if requested, should you need to prove receipt.

No idea with USPS as it is a PO box, but if it's anything like my local ones, they probably chuck it on the doorstep and run away or dump it in the trash before it ever gets on the truck yet still mark as delivered on the tracking.

Will usps lift the signature requirement if I call them and would the I-751 be rejected if USCIS doesn’t pick up the package by the 27th when the permanent resident card expires?

We've sent everything with USPS, signature required and it's been fine. 

Who's signed? No clue, but the signature and name appear on the delivery confirmation. 

Packages have arrived 3 days after delivery, no delay. 

The date of delivery is what appears as the date that USCIS service center received it.

just sent my AOS package with USPS 2 weeks ago to chicago lockbox. obviously no signature require

i sent many docs to USCIS before, this is the first time i saw on tracking " Delivered, individual picked up at postal facility" ( individual = USCIS)

A PO Box! I guess each individual USCIS operation is too small to warrant its own zip code or mail stop system.

And what's your point to OP's case?
