princess, you were right about the address, i don't know why the zip code was different...thanks for pointing it out...i double checked with the uscis website...

Okay...guess what, i got a really nice lady from USPS consumer affairs to track my package and they are returning it to me. The post office were jerks to me. I was supposed to fill out some form there but they refused to let me. Eventually this woman called and straightened the clerk out and got my package shipped back to me.

Also, i sent the package again today to the above address. Phew what a relief. Been a long day...

To answer your question, i dont think so. Does anyone else have any take on that?

ahadhayat...its good you are getting your package back! i have a question...what envelope did you use to put all your documents in? just a regular brown envelope and addressed it to the USCIS? i stopped by the post office today to ask what type of package shipping they do...i think ill go with the one that has the confirmation delivery receipt...the lady said they would let me know if they have sent it already...its only a additional 60 cents...i just want to make my documents are received...is the tracking number for priority mail only?
