Address headach

I posted earlier about PO Box and if that would be some kind of problem. Well The PO box is perfectly fine but my receipt for my petition was sent to my physical address instead of my mailing address. So was returned to CSC as not diliverable. I called them to see why I hadn't gotten my reseipt. I waited as I have read here that has no affect on processing time so didn't worry too much about it. The person I talked too stated that they did receive it on the 5th of May and start date is the 6th of May. I gave him the correct mailing address and he said it was update and the receipt would be sent out again.

So was happy at first because got the number assigned to case but now I am second guessing what I heard from the guy. I am like 75% certian he stated my case date was the 6th. But when I happly logged onto USCIS to regerter for e-mail updates and track our case I saw after logging on a message stating that my receipt was return as undiliverable and had 180 days from 5/31/09 to correct the address or the case would be closed fees lost and so on. Confusion starting to fill my happy mind. Was the 5/31 date just because was touched then. I checked on the pending case under my number and show just updated on the 31st. Ugg is that the start date.

Well this is my question. Did I hear correctly that my start date is the 6th or was it put on hold untill they herd from me and got a correct miling address? Anyone know if your case is put n hold till address is confirmed?

Thanks for you advice and guidance. This is a great site and great people helping all of us traveling this journey.

You are overthinking this. There is no "start" date. There is a recived date. They received it the 6th. That ios your received date. They sent a notice (probably to the same address for you to correct your address) on May 31. Separate issue. You have called and rectified that, it is a non-issue. Sleep well, your case is being processed. There is no telling why they did not use the mailing address you gave them...it IS the USCIS, after all.

Thankyou. I guess I was just excited to get any word and when I did I looked for the other shoe to drop thing. I should well be use to uncel sam and all the confusing overwhelmed offic staff. I did spend 20 years in the Air Frce. Thanks for your reply! Will kick back and wait in comfort.

If you don't get a notice in the mail in the next few weeks, make sure to call back though. You don't want them to have messed that up and for some strange reason they cancel your petition because of a mix-up.
