You can also ask your husband to fill out the DS-3032 (Choice of Agent/Address) ahead of time if you're planning to mail the hardcopy. Otherwise, you can email it from his email account. You also need two 2x2 passport photos of your husband and a photocopy of the bio page of his passport.

Hi everyone! This is going to sound like a strange question, but I'm wondering if anyone else who has mailed anything to the NVC has done this and knows the answer. I sent the AOS package on Friday the 17th. Admittedly, I was not thinking properly at the time and sent it for next day delivery. Obviously they're not open on Saturday, so that was stupid. :blink: Anyway, I checked the USPS website to see if it was delivered today, and it says it's at the post office waiting for someone to pick it up and that the NVC was notified. #######? Wouldn't they just deliver it in Monday's mail? :unsure:

I called the post office and they said I needed to check with the NVC about their mail policies. They said each individual business is responsible for telling the post office how they would like to receive Saturday mail when they're not open on Saturdays. One would think all businesses would simply have the mail delivered on Monday right? I know we do. I spoke with the NVC and for the first time, I got a seriously unhelpful operator who said she did not know anything about their mail delivery and refused to send me to a supervisor. Thanks for nothing. :angry:

Has anyone sent anything that would normally have been delivered on a Saturday and was it delivered on Monday okay?
