Late Filing

[Greebo 1]

Hey all

Well my 2 yr green card expired on Dec 2nd. I sent my paperwork on in the 23rd Nov and tracked it via the USPS website to Vermont where it said it was ready for pickup from the PO Box.

Having not heard back since then, I went back to the USPS site today to make sure I hadn't missed anything and saw that the package had bounced back on the 25th (no notices received that I had a package waiting). Apparently this was because of lack of postage, though how that is possible I'm not sure (I used one of their self-service machines + express envelope), but regardless, I'm now in the situation where I'm filing late.

I need to go pick up the returned package tomorrow morning, and will immediately send it back, but do I need to include extra items now? Presumably a letter explaining the late filing would be a good idea, as well as a copy of the original tracking receipt, is there a late filing fee?

Any info would be much appreciated while I try to not panic!

Did you include a letter explaining any reason why you were late? If you did I don't think you need to panic too much, I filed mine about 2 weeks late and the CSC accepted it.

Just wait for the AOS letter which acts as a receipt to arrive in the mail and wait for your Biometrics appointment.

Fingers crossed.

I'm sending the late one tomorrow morning (will be at post office first thing to pick up the returned package, so that I can resend it), and it will include the letter explaining lateness, as well as copies of the USPS receipts etc.

Hopefully things will work out!
