Still Waiting!

[m0306 0]

Hi guys, here is my concern.

I sent in my application on August 14, 2008 through priority mail and with tracking confirmation

but its been 5 business days and it still not received by the USCIS in California. I live in Oregon by the way.

How long will it takes to get there?

Wow, it definitely shouldn't take a week with priority mail! I think this is a case where you need to inquire with USPS! That's not good...

Don't worry....not until you really have to.

I sent my Priority Mail/Certified. The last (and only) time it was scanned was when I dropped it off at my post office.

After over a week I started to freak. I called my local post office service center and they contacted Nebraska for me. The woman I talked to actually gave me a number for a woman down there (in Nebraska) who I eventually talked to. This woman told me that because of the number of packages they get for the USCIS they also log the information in by hand.

Mine was not there. She said she had two different people check the handwritten lists. She said my package could be almost anywhere and my only option was to file a "missing package" report with my local post office and just hope it showed up. <<By the way, the post office does nothing with the "missing package" report -- they just put it in a file>> I had to wait (I believe) 10 days before I could do that. In the meantime.....my check got cashed.
