Can I use these services for this sort of thing? Is certified mail better? I just want to make sure they received it and get confirmation of it. Any suggestions on the best way to send the package to CSC? Thanks as always to all those who reply. It will go out tomorrow. Wish me luck!! :)

I sent mine USPS and requested delivery confirmation. They will refund your $14.40, or whatever it is, if it's not delivered by noon the next day...

8-30-05 Met David at a restaurant in Germany

3-28-06 David 'officially' proposed

4-26-06 I-129F mailed

9-25-06 Interview: APPROVED!

10-16-06 Flt to US, POE Detroit

11-5-06 Married

7-2-07 Green card received

9-12-08 Filed for divorce

12-5-08 Court hearing - divorce final

A great marriage is not when the "perfect couple" comes together.

It is when an imperfect couple learns to enjoy their differences.

I used USPS Certified Priority mail with the confirmation return card. The post office has great tyvec-priority envelopes that you can use for free, just pay postage.

USPS Certified Priority Mail with Return Reciept for me, paid the flat rate (Which is where you get an envelope and basically anything you can stuff in it within reason is all one fee), it got there in just 2 days.

USPS Express or Priority service, is the way to go.

But, if you don't need it there the next day, send it USPS certified (return receipt).

I am always in a hurry, so I used USPS Express.

You people are the absolute best!! I cannot thank everyone enough for all the help they have given me. As of tomorrow I will officially be joining all of you on the waiting list. Seems they have picked up the approval pace lately which is a good sign. Maybe I will get lucky and it will not take forever. Anyway I will keep everyone posted and will start a timeline soon as well. Again I thank everyone and may all of you get to be with your Loved One(s) soon.

Somehow she managed to take the same photo and have it turned into a 2X2. Places here said it couldnt be done so I am not sure exactly what she did. She has sent it courier to me so I will receive it tomorrow. Hopefully it looks just like mine. That is the final piece I need before before it goes. Thank you for asking.

I sent the I-129F certified/ return receipt and did not receive anything in the mail. I thought I was suppose to get something in the mail. But no problem since I got the NOA1. It did not take as long as getting the NOA1 for the I-130. The I130 had been transferred from TSC to CSC. For that one I did not send it certified/return receipt. ALso I should have sent them priority mail.
