my initial response to the last two post was "whatever" but then i went back and read them again. i must take exception with you two, mr make send it regesterd and mr mild manner. most of the people here are supportive and responsive to my venting frustration with the USPS, but you two find it necessary to attack me personally with an attittude. at first i was a bit angry but then i just had to laugh at you two. obviously you dont get it so i will spell it out.

it is really quite simple, i havent blamed anyone for anything other then they cant deliver my mail to me SOME of the time. other times they seem to get it right. so i ask, how hard can it be to read an address? its just numbers and letters. i get my mail, i correct my mistake sign my check and send it back via FedEX again (note regestered, signed, trackable, like the I-129F package) and everyone is happy. but they (insert idiots) lost my mail and i cant correct my mistakce.

but with your and mr mild manner posts i can only guess your next response would be something stupid like, if you signed the check this wouldnt have happened. i love that logic like delivering mail hinges on other my penmanship. with this logic if we gave thiefs money they wouldnt have to steal it. the USPS screwed up and its that simple, they lost a very important piece of my mail. who knows whats next, my NOA or maybe something you need? if that happens i suspose that will be my fault as well.

I usually am mild mannered, ask anyone. You will notice that the two posts were both mine, which means there is no "you two" about it and you read the posts as carefully as you write checks.

I never complain about the USPS because I lived in Ukraine for two years couldn't bring myself to complain about the comparatively great service we receive from USPS (and no, I do not work for the USPS). Nor do I allow them to mess with my family's future plans. My life has never been determined by the lowest common denominator among us.

What makes you the responsible party in this case is

A) Not signing the check

B) Not taking any action when the check wasn't cashed in a few days. Stop payment, make a new file and send it certified (oh, and sign the check)

C) Waiting and waiting for the return of the unsigned, invalid check before you sent another package

You never answered if you made duplicate original G-325s and copies so you could instantly wisk out another petition so your fiancee does not have to wait any longer for this comedy of errors precipitated by not signing a check. If you did, good for you. If you didn't, add id as "D" above.

Y'know, most people realize when they made a mistake and make good on it. Any time I have been called on a mistake, I say "sorry, my mistake", but it was obvious from your posts you needed a blunt instrument applied to your noggin. Didn't work. Oh well, if you cannot handle the truth you have embarked on a very difficult journey. And by the way, I AM being supportive by observing you need to stop blaming everyone else in the world and take hold of this for yourself and do it right. I had my petition approved in less time that you are spending messing around with the so-called "idiots". My fiancee was impressed and thought her future husband to be a very clever man to handle the entire process with no delays and not a single question asked in two interviews (visa and AOS). I wonder if your fiancee will feel the same when you tell her how you have been victimized by all the idiots. Who knows? Maybe.

Yeah I asked a lot of questions here, and I got a blunt instrument applied to me a few times, (Pushbrk was especially adept at this, I still have bruises )but I learned from it, picked myself up like a big boy and got back on the damn horse.

Or you could just say "Whatever"

hhmm....

Signed check=not worrying about mail

[Anna and Jeff 3]

thats too bad. I bet it will show up soon things have a way of doing that.

THis is what is says under the "GUIDE" section above

IMPORTANT!

Make TWO copies of the entire package before you send it in. This includes the money orders too. You want to have a perfect replica of the package you are sending in. All Forms that you submit must be originals with original signatures. Supporting Evidence that you submit may be photocopies. Retain ALL original supporting Evidence since the USCIS has the right to check them by issuing an RFE (Request For Evidence). If you receive an RFE, follow the direction exactly, and make two copies of what you sent back. During any future interviews the USCIS may also want to examine the original supporting evidence.

I think it is to avoid this very thing. If you had done this you wouldnt have to wait and as soon as you had found out you could have resent it. So nextime before you send it out make copies of every thing so you dont have to deal with tis any more. This goes for every thing you do in this procees from here on out . COPY EVERY THING!!!

i sent the package in and it was recieved and signed for on 12/29/08. until now i have not received anything from the USCIS, nada, zero, mayo, zilch, nothing, check has not cleared the bank nothiing. so i called them this morning to try and find out what has happened. well guess what, like an idiot i forgot to sign the check so they rejected it but that isnt the bad part. they returned the package via USPS to me on 12/30/08. well guess what i have never received it. up to now i have not seen a thing. I should have been concerned earlier as other people were getting my mail they sent me, like christmas cards, as undeliverable return to sender. why? who the hell knows! i have an idiot for a postman!! i have called the USPS and as you might guess they were worthless.

un*******believeable.

so where does this leave me? i could have the USCIS do a search to see if they had it returned to them as well. it would take 30 days and who knows if anything would turn up. sounds like a total waste of time to me. putting the package back together is no big deal, except for the original signatures from cathy. UGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH talk about a downer. she is going to be bummed. IDIOTS!!!!!

again i am reminded that 90% of people who say they know what they are doing dont or market themselves as experts arent. mediocrity is excellence for the mediocre.

since this is a family forum i wont type what i really want to type. \

have a good day

Hi

Well you forgot to sign the check

we mailed the check with an amount that USCIS gave us through the phone

it was wrong $10 to much

they returned the whole package stating wrong amount

we had to do it all over again and lost 1 month

to top it off

after this our NOA1 never got to us, no one knows where it be

so we lost 3 months before we where able to get a NOA1 for our 129F

eventually we got them to issue us a copy, not an original

oh yeah we lost 3 months here because every time we called you case could still be in process, call in 1 month after we waithe 1 month for a NOA1 approval

GOOD LUCK WELCOME TO THE USCIS

When dealing with the government machine, I have found that they resemble a Rube-Goldberg type machine. If one thing goes wrong, like not signing something, some Govt. twit starts to work on that machine. Your experience is the result. As was mentioned by Pshbrk, you have no idea how they handle rejects. They probably get put on the "IN" basket of the next person to retire.

Moral of the story, when dealing with the govt. Rube-Goldberg, you need to check your work and if you foul it up, take responsibility and deal with it.

I filed in October 2008, got the NOA-2 in Jan. 2009, and my I-129F is already at the NVC. I have nobody to blame but myself for being totally ####### retentive when it came to filling out the forms.

Frankly, if you turn some of that anger into something constructive, you may find that people deal with you better and you may sleep better at night.

Sincerely,

Best of luck on resolving this.

This must be the best reason to spend a buck or two for a money order. And they sell those at the post office, too.

Also, remember, the USPS is design to efficiently DELIVER mail. The returning part I am not so sure about.

I bites, get it right this time.

I think all of us had that bad feeling in our stomach as we drop the package in the mail box....

chung hua,

welcome to one of the most tolerant and intolerant discussion forums on the net.

hoping your path is easier than mine was.

some chinese women are worth the wait. may yours be worth as much as mine.

be sure to copy everything throughout the process. it is all important for one reason or another later on, and is good history for later reading.
