Welcome/Approval Letter Not Received

[scorpiogirl68 0]

On July 31 I received an email saying a welcome letter was mailed and on August 8 I got another email saying the approval notice was likewise sent.

It is now the 9th and I have'nt received the welcome letter yet. We've changed our address in April, sent the forms (AR-11, I-865) and called the 1-800 #. I got the letter confirming that our addy was changed in the system. However, I am still thinking they sent it to our old addy.

While I am willing to wait for a few days more, I'd like to know in advance what needs to be done in case an infopass appointment next week confirms that the Welcome letter/GC/Approval Notice is returned to USCIS.

Thank you in advance for any advice you can give me.

I think the notice letter would say that you have to wait for 30 days. I don't know whether the infopass or 1-800# would help you if you don't wait for 30 days.

The better way is to write a letter directly to USCIS, not call or infopass.

My work permit was returned to USCIS (although I never changed my address). I called 1-800# to request resend twice but nothing happened. So, I wrote them letter and they resent my work permit right away. FYI

You will have to wait because it does not take 1 day for information to be mailed out. Give it up to a week. Usually most USCIS information can take up to 30 days.

By the way, congrats on your approval

Thank you for responding Dorane and Truwork.

Dorane,

I've got 2 questions for you:

a. How did you know your work permit was returned to USCIS? Did you call 1-800# or thru online status?

b. What USCIS address did you use to send the letter to?

Thank you.

You can get that information through calling UCIS or visiting your local UCIS office. As far as the change of address notification or AR-11, you should send that to the following address listed below:

U.S Department of Homeland Security

Bureau of Citizenship and Immigration

Change of Address

PO Box 7134

London, KY 40742-7134

Hope this helps

PLEASE MAKE SURE YOUR NAME IS ON THE MAILBOX BECAUSE IF YOUR GREEN CARD COMES AND THE POST CARRIER IS NOT FAMILIAR NOR CAN PROVE YOU LIVE THERE THEY WILL RETURN THE CARD. THIS ALSO INCLUDES THE EAD CARD.

I will look for the site and post it here.

okay here is the linke about the mail being undelivered. http://www.uscis.gov/graphics/services/fac...english.qxd.pdf

It does not say that you have to have your name on the mailbox, but there has been a few people that have had their cards returned because of it. ref Climbing for .... thread under AOS Deneral Discussion.

Good luck

Example: I put our names on the inside flap of the mailbox that way on the post office can see how lives there when they open the mailbox.
