AOS March 2011 Filers

[BMW4me 12]

yea it's really great, most of us from NYC area, it'll be really nice for timelining, who knows we might be interviewed one after another in the same office

vkn & jsb, the express mail and courier address is actually USCIS, FBAS, 131 South Dearborn-3rd Floor, Chicago, IL 60603-5517.. the PO Box is for regular US postal service. I know UPS and FedEx won't deliver to a PO Box, but not quite sure about USPS Express mail. If you went to a postal office to mail it and they said it was fine with a PO Box, then I'm sure there is no problem with it! They wouldn't have taken it with a PO box address if they weren't going to deliver it there.

omg now, Scheiße! , now i am freaking out about this hopefully it won't bounce back and i lose around 3 weeks processing time

i sent it out from the 34th street main usps office (you know the one that is open 24/7), using USPS express mail, next day delivery by friday morning, i guess I will know it by tomorrow....

i know others like ups/fedex/dhl won't deliver to po boxes, as it's only for usps, so i think it should be fine but..... this wording is just annoying me a bit `Express Mail`.. how about USPS Express Mail?? or do they just mean fedex/ups/dhl when they say Express mail

i suppose you are right, they wouldn't take it but omg what a stress, tomorrow come already

You can breathe again. I just checked the US Postal website, and USPS express delivers to P.O. boxes as well. No need to worry. Like I said, they would not have taken it from you with a PO box address on it, if they weren't gonna deliver it to a PO Box. they would have told you that it can't be a PO box address.. You're fine. No time lost.

hello!! i was worried about that when i mailed my aos packet. i sent it in P.O. Box 805887 Chicago, IL 60680-4120. when i was tracking it online its says "Notice Left (No Authorized Recipient Available), March 03, 2011, 10:33 am, CHICAGO, IL 60680" so i called usps.. they said the PO box address is located inside the USPS office.. the package is there but no one just signed to received it. then after 2 hours i checked again "Delivered, March 03, 2011, 2:01 pm, CHICAGO, IL 60680" "Your item was delivered at 2:01 pm on March 03, 2011 in CHICAGO, IL 60680 to INS 805887 . The item was signed for by R MERCADO. "

So yea.. its ok to send it the PO box address.. INS is renting the PO box inside USPS and i guess someone picks up all the mail.

NOA1 hardcopies received today!

[doctorbeat 6]

Ok, count us in!

Mrs. Doctorbeat and I mailed our application yesterday, estimated delivery monday.

Yah

So glad. I really hope that Im just second guessing myself and the application were on bar coded paper. I wanna be in March 2011 not April! (lol).

I think I remember printing off all the forms again on Monday after realizing that chrome didnt have bar codes but Im not sure because I didnt photocopy the completed forms. I just put a dummy packet aside using the duplicate forms that I printed off in the first place. I know that the I-693 definetly didnt have bar codes on and there was an inane error on the I-864. My country of origin was put as USA rather than UK but I would rather a RFE for the I-864 and I-693 than the whole thing returned as I know the I-130 was good.

Ok I am sure I will try everyone around the bend before I know one way or another so apologies in anticipation.

country as origin in USA aaah what a bummer, well i checked every single thing twice then my wife checked things once to make sure all is good, but still you never know though i saw people still makes mistakes after checking tons of times.

anywho so in this case, your application to be in this `March 2011 filers` forum can be rejected hah, we'll will move you to April 2011 filers

it's weird that after you said about barcodes, i can't even open those pdfs from uscis's web site on chrome (i'm on win7 and latest chrome), it says contents can be viewed or something

Edited March 12, 2011 by vkn & jsb

[Myopia 93]

Yup thats the original error that I got with chrome and then when it did work, lo and behold no barcodes.

All I can do is wait and see. I figure by the 21st I should know one way or another.

And even if I end up in April, I will lurk here, you can bet your bottom dollar!

[Scribble 1]

Soooo we mailed our stuff on the 11th. It says it'll be there Monday by 12 since it couldnt be delivered Saturday. Im so scared they are gonna loose my package!

And I'm just generally freaked out. Its worse then writing my dissertation.
