No need

 

Immigration journey is not: fast, for the faint at heart, easy, cheap, for the impatient nor right away. If more than 50% of this applies to you, best get off the bus.

You can, but I'm not sure why you would.

Jeez, no.  USCIS does NOT want to have to unwrap something sent in bubble wrap.  Also - paper is not 'fragile.'

this is what i always do :

1. prep the package

2. put the whole package inside tyvek ( soft )priority envelope usps. its free in usps. it's waterproof. reason : so it wont get wet, just in case.

3. put no. 2 inside usps ( hard) envelope/ box whichever u think fit for ur package  https://store.usps.com/store/product/shipping-supplies/priority-mail-flat-rate-envelope-P_EP_14_F

 

send it. never have issue. i filed about 10 packages last year

300ish

Well we have seen bigger submissions. 
 

I understand your concern about 300 pages being put into a flat rate priority mail box with no padding. The sheets will get bent and curled in transit and then it will be a pain for USCIS to scan the entire thing into an auto feeder without paper jams.

 

Consequences: slow processing and/or pages that do not get scanned. 

 

I would put the 300 pages in a letter sized card board box.
 

Then put rubber bands around the box to keep the lid on. Then insert letter box into the priority mail box with padding around the inner box to keep it from banging around inside the outer box. Padding should not be taped to inner box.

I submitted a 500 page ROC packet two weeks ago. I used binder clips and rubber bands to secure everything. I did not use padding or a second envelope. I just placed the whole thing directly in a USPS box like this: https://store.usps.com/store/product/shipping-supplies/priority-mail-flat-rate-medium-box-2-P_O_FRB2#moreinfofooter

 

My package arrived just fine. I got my extension letter 12 calendar days after mailing the package.
