need to vent a little.please

[john & jean 37]

I would send an email to the hr department every day for a few months

[raymaga 25]

We sent every single package for both my daughter (K-2 and onward) and myself (K-1 and onward) using US Postal Service. We had no problems whatsoever with any one of them.

Hope you can get your package out again and get the process moving.

Best wishes.

We very carefully prepared all items for CR1 visa application.

Planned FedEx for pickup.

Driver refused to come upstairs (high rise apartment) to pickup package.

Called me on phone to say that and then hung up on me.

I frantically grab package containing I-130 and all else for the CR1 application and head downstairs.

Driver then has attitude because I do not have an Airbill filled out.

Driver gets more attitudinal when I do not have FedEx labeled package.

She gets package from truck then says "ok its good".

I ask her to please attach the Airbill before she leaves with my package.

She says I can have the package back if I want it.

I request her to return my package.

She refused to give me the package , instead, retreating into her van and closing door.

She opened door a little to tell me to "step away from the van". Then closes door again.

She then affixed a clear window to package and placed Airbill inside.

I waved at her (as I could not get package back) and she drove off.

Today when I tracked package it is mis-delivered to wrong facility.

When I ask customer service guy on phone why. I find out the driver (apparently intentionally) entered a different postal code. (The codes could not have been mistakenly entered by anyone not involved with heavy drug use.)

I am in fear for the integrity of the visa application and have FedEx to re-direct the package back to me.

This whole thing sounds too strange to be true but it all occurred in the presence of my apartment manager.

I can only hope that a different driver, and not a friend of the evil driver returns my package to me in a complete and secure form.

So now I sit waiting to see if I can recover any documents from the application. If the driver opened it then I now have to deal with filing a criminal case against her also.

I cannot believe that I have ever been so angry in my life.

Thanks for letting me vent.

Fedex and UPS can suck sometimes but I will tell you the preferred way of sending petitions to USCIS it's what the lawyers use. its registered mail by usps . Reason it is the most secure and surest way for your petition to arrive to it's destination because that shipment its accompanied with a escort at all times if it is lost the escort is fired.... And it has to be signed for.. Fedex is cool but things do go wrong. and when they do USCIS will not care if their is a deadline like certain RFE's

Only problem with registered mail is it's slower in transit times due to special handling procedures.

here is an excerpt of its benefits

Registered mail provides a secure method of mailing. The envelope travels separately from other mail, in a special locked container. Each postal employee handling the item signs for it. At the recipient's post office, a receipt is obtained from the recipient and kept at that post office; a copy of the receipt may be returned to the sender.

In general, registered mail is appropriate when the contents of the envelope have some real monetary value (e.g.: cash, jewelry, stock certificates). It is also appropriate when the contents must be protected because they are sensitive (e.g., personnel or medical records, a list of credit cards with their account numbers).

It is not recomended to use FEDEX ups or regular USPS delivery methods due to if they make a mistake USCIS will hold YOU accountable with the consequences even though it was the carrier's fault. Good luck.

In my business dealings, I find the following.....

USPS and UPS are great for domestic packages.

UPS is the best for international packages.

I sent a 2lb package to Bulgaria with USPS not a problem! I sent a packet of paper to Bulgaria with UPS, cost me $100! USPS is definately the better choice

So sorry to hear this..

With this immigration matter, i would certainly rely on USPS. They also give tracking information as well..

I feel your pain. knowing how unreliable the mail service is in Dakar Senegal where my fiancée, I asked the US Embassy in Dakar what international mail service the employees use when not using the diplomatic pouch. They said that have used DHL with good results. I did some research on international shipments in that part of the world, and DHL is cheaper than FedEx and has broader delivery network. That may not be the case where you are, but you may want to check it out.
