Just thought I would ask this.... because I am amazed that USCIS dont send out mail like EAD & Greencards where you have to sign for delivery.... Would be much safer and both parties would know it had got there...

I for one would have willingly paid extra to have had all mail send this way.....

US mail is pretty reliable. I'd say no.

09-02-2005 Applications for AOS, EAD, and AP received by MSC

10-21-2005 AOS fingerprint notice for 12-08-2005

11-07-2005 AP approved

12-05-2005 Infopass appt at San Jose office for interim EAD -- Refused, because it is already approved by MSC on 11-07-2005

12-07-2005 Attempt at interim EAD at San Francisco office -- no go. Back to San Jose, where CSO (chief station officer) tells they will contact MSC via email to request permission to issue interim EAD

12-08-2005 Biometrics for AOS and EAD. Having no EAD appt letter was no problem (used EAD NOA)

12-15-2005 EAD arrived in the mail

12-24-2005 Received interview letter; interview scheduled 03-01-2006

01-28-2006 Received replacement SSN card in married name (5 wks since application)

03-01-2006 AOS interview -- approved; received stamp in the passport

03-13-2006 Green card arrived in the mail

An arm and a leg is a bit much. I'd give a liver though, don't we have two of those and only really need one?

I'd give them Anything they wanted-Anything :lol:

To be honest, with the amount they're charging for all of these pieces of paperwork, and how important they are to us, I'd expect them to be hand-delivered to the door!

But yes, if it was an option I'd pay extra to have the actual cards sent by courier - since they lost my AP someplace and the money was wasted because there was no way to prove that it was somebody else's fault and not mine :(

If you have two livers you could make yourself a small fortune! No........we only have one! Mind you... (today's piece of useless information) you can have 90% of your liver removed and it will regenerate itself, so you could give the USCIS a percentage of it!!! lol

Our journey started in 2001 and it's still not over. It's been a rollercoaster ride all the way! Let me off - I wanna be sick!

Considering how cheap Priority Mail with Delivery Confirmation is (less than $5), I'd gladly throw in an extra fiver to make sure I got whatever it was supposed to be! :wacko:
