Assuming things go well, I should be able to ship the 129f package to my service center sometime next week. What is better - guaranteed by 10:30 am or by 3pm?

And I assume it is better to send the thing to get there as soon as possible, so even if it would be delivered on Saturday and they don't work Saturday, maybe i would still be closer to the front of their list.

I thought 3-5 days shipping would be fine, but that just means several thousand people could get in front of me in the "line."

Suggestions on how it gets sent? Besides sending it certified mail. UPS, FedEx, something else? which of the two is less expensive, UPS or FedEx?

I can hardly wait to get started on my timeline.

If I cause offense it is not on purpose, think about that before you take offense. If you feel offended, consider that maybe I'm not talking about you and maybe I accidentally stumbled onto a sore area and do not know. Thank you.

As long as you can track it and/or get confirmation of delivery is what I would consider best. USPS (Priority Mail) is best in my opinion. I wouldn't spend the extra $$ for fedex/overnight service. But up to you.

You'd be surprised how fast mail gets to large government offices...

USPS Priority mail is fast and you can track it. That's really all that you need. UPS, FedEx, DHL are just overly expensive options for the I-129F. After all, you are not shipping around the world, but to a service center here in the US. Save the money, you won't be left behind. Besides, you'll be shipping documents to your Fiancee after you're approved by USCIS! You may need the money then. And when that time comes, I have had very good success with USPS International Express mail to Brazil. About 5 days, I can track it, and she has to sign for it when it arrives. Ahhh, comfort!

I can hardly wait to get started on my timeline.

I can hardly wait to get started on my timeline but my fiancé hasn't received my G-325A forms and statement of intent yet. Sigh! They were sent on Wednesday via Xpress post. I guess he will get them on Monday; I think he might be able to send the package on Tuesday. I HOPE! :)

I think he is going to send it by Xpress post too. I'd rather overnight mail but I thought it might be too expensive.

Out of curiousity, anyone going thru Vermont Service Center - are there times they are more likely to pick up the mail? Morning of afternoon? Since I still have a few days before I can send the thing, I have time to think about silly things, anything to make it happen faster. Even just feeling like what I do could make it happen faster will make me feel more in control.
