Frustrating..........could happen to anyone :(

[NYGirl 0]

Hey guys,

Just wanted to write something that is very frustrating and could happen to anyone unfortunately.

Few days ago we received a mail adressed to some name and has OUR EXACT adress from the USCIS. I knew there is some kind of mistake right away since we live in a private house and there is no one under that name. If we lived in the building it would be a different story, thinking someone else's mail from a different apt was in our mailbox, but that's not the case.

So I decided to open the letter and it was a letter adressed to that person stating that they have a GC interview next month. I called the USCIS letting them know that I received someone's mail with OUR adress on it and that maybe they can resend the letter to the person to the CORRECT adress. The customer service told me that they can NOT do it cause I don't have the info like their date of birth so they would have to miss their interview and then they'll get some letter stating that they have missed their interview and that they can be rescheduled. I got pissed and explained to the lady that it's a very important even for someone and it's not fair to which she replied " there is nothing we can do about it but I do understand your concern"

So something like this can happen to any of us and it's just frustrating.

Just wanted to vent

What you should have done was write RETURN TO SENDER and send it back. Not cool opening someone else's mail. wth.

[Heracles 417]

So that is where my letter went.

Ok well I am NOT going to scold you like everyone else about opening the mail, but maybe it was people who lived there before you or something who decided not to file a change of address form. Therefore it would be their own fault unfortunately.

could you possibly find that person via white pages or someone and let them know? i'm sure they'd appreciate it?

Ditto. I would probably put back in the envelope and write RTS on it though. You're trying to help somebody, but they may have the same negative reaction.
