Sent express yesterday and as of tonight they have no clue where it is at. It was supposed to be at NVC by noon today. I called and they're looking for it. If they don't find it, it will delay us at least a week.

Next time we'll use Fed Ex.

Hi,I sent my AOS package to USCIS, Chicago via USPS Priority Mail with Delivery Confirmation on 5/29, I tracked it and it was delivered 5/31...... I paid $7.05 for shipping and confirmation. When I sent our I-129 Petition I mailed it this way also and it was received with no problems.

Good Luck to You :)

Express is "supposedly" the most secure method with USPS and has everything you mentioned.

I'll go to Fed Ex next time.

Could it be that there's no one available to sign for packages on the weekends?

I always use FedEx or DHL for international services. The USPS is hit or miss for sure!

US Mail to Ukrainian post is "at your own risk" . Even International express USPS to Ukraine is risky.

regular with tracking number is perfect for this process. express really is not saving any time. just costing more money

And how did you come to that conclusion?

Yes it costs about 10 bucks more, yes it arrives the next day.......which I'm quite certain means it gets checked in while your package is still being mailed.

One thing to note about the IR-5 process (or IR-1/CR-1) is that it is indeed different from the standard K-1. You are actively involved in the NVC process after your wait (a much longer one at CSC than VSC I might add) and days do make a difference.

Starting to think that USPS lost my wife's and step-daughter's AOS & EAD filings. We sent it early FRI morning FEB 13th. When we check the tracking number for the Priority-Mail it says "Your item departed our USPS facility in ELK GROVE VILLAGE, IL 60007 on February 16, 2015 at 4:06 am. The item is currently in transit to the destination."

It shouldn't take more than 2 days for a package to travel the 10 miles from the 60007 PO at the airport to the 60680 PO in downtown Chicago where the "lockbox" is.

The expected delivery was yesterday.

I will CERTAINLY be using a carrier that gives a ####### next time, like FedEx.

I'm gonna be soooooo pissed off if it turns out they lost it.
