With USPS, their flat rate express envelope, which is guaranteed overnight delivery is $16.50. And the good thing is you can put as much as you want- no weight limit. Just as long as you can securely close the envelope.

USCIS TIMELINE

N400 (Citizenship Application):

Package sent: 02/17/2012

NOA Date: 02/21/2012

What are you sending? And where?

If sending the K-1 to your US service center, I would suggest USPS. I sent everything priority with no extra services. We have had absolutely no issues. Make sure you keep a copy of everything.

If sending overseas, it all depends on the area and hwo the mail system is. If I shipped to Jamaica, I definately did not want to send it via the USPS.

Life's just a crazy ride on a run away train

You can't go back for what you've missed

So make it count, hold on tight find a way to make it right

You only get one trip

So make it good, make it last 'cause it all flies by so fast

You only get one trip

USPS is enough, you don't have to spend any extra money. Just purchase the delivery conformation and you can track the package. Good luck!

They willl all get there. I've seen people who sent their I-129f packet via all three and they all got there. I would like to recommend you USPS Priority like everyone's saying but make sure you buy the delivery confirmation. It will ensure that the the packet is delivered and received by the USCIS.

Just remember that if you choose to use FedEX or UPS, you will have to use another address!

Just stick with the Post Office. I sent mine with Priority Mail + Signature confirmation and it cost me like $8. I dropped it off Saturday and it arrived on Monday. Don't make it more complicated than it has to be.

I've used FedEx Piority overnight for my K1 and K1 RFE (ooops). It worked wonderfully. My fiancee and I are informed by emails when the package was sent, when it arrives and who signed the package release. FedEx overnight isn't cheap ($20 - $30), but it will save you the worry later on. I sent out the package before 7PM pickup time, and it will arrive at VSC by 10AM the next day.
