I-129F Delivery to Dallas Lockbox - USPS Notice was left?

[DonLorenzo 1]

Hello,

I sent my I-129F on Saturday and it was to be delivered today. I checked the tracking of package and was given the message below:

We attempted to deliver your item at 10:01 am on December 06, 2010 in DALLAS, TX 75266 and a notice was left. You may pick up the item at the Post Office indicated on the notice, go to www.usps.com/redelivery, or call 800-ASK-USPS to arrange for redelivery. If this item is unclaimed after five days then it will be returned to the sender. Information, if available, is updated periodically throughout the day. Please check again later.

Any idea if this is the normal process? I mailed it to the follow PO Box:

USCIS

P.O. Box 660151

Dallas, TX 75266

Unfortunately, I didn't notice there was a separate address for Express mail (which mine was):

USCIS

Attn: I-129F

2501 South State Highway 121 Business

Suite 400

Lewisville, TX 75067

Does anybody feel this will be a problem?

Nobody lives at the PO Box; it's too small. Eventually someone from USCIS will stop by the PO and pick up the mail. Then they will sign for your package. Next time make sure you thoroughly read all the instructions; you will have future tries. Now just wait for about 5 months.

Thanks, it appears it was accepted OK. I received a USPS notice just a moment ago stating it was signed for by C. Thornquist 660862.

it is normal for a P.O. box to have a notice left until the box holder shows up to receive there mail. in this case they receive a hamper full on a daily basis. they come to a loading dock and exchange a hamper to be loaded on a truck every day. The attempted scan stops the clock on express mail so the post office does not have to refund the money.

NOA1 received today from the Vermont Service Center, but dated Dec 7th. I guess the wait begins!

I actually made the same exact "mistake"...and got the same exact notice...but the I-129F instructions are a bit confusing. On the one hand, the instructions say, "For U.S. Postal Service:" ... and the Dallas Lockbox address is provided. But USPS Express mail IS from the U.S. Postal Service...so...Express Mail falls in both categories (1) U.S. Postal Service and (2) Express mail.

My gut feeling here is that since PO boxes cannot accept FedEx, UPS, etc. the Lewisville "real" address is required...and that this is the ONLY reason for the Lewisville address. I think they should have simply given the choice between "U.S. Postal Service" and "Other" in the I-129F instructions...which would have been crystal clear.

Also...agreed that they need a way to "stop the clock" for Express Mail...so I think easyukraine is correct.
