You are AMAZING!!! Seriously, if I could reach out and hug you right now I would! It worked! It said that they attempts delivery but was unsuccessful but a note was left. A bit difficult to do at a PO box address I would assume. Should I contact USPS and give them the physical address fr the Chicago facility?

Same happened to me... the mailing agency didn't get it there cause the PO address was not clear to them.. I had to send the I-130 again!!!!!!!!!!! which was horrible :( but i sent it thru another mailing agency and it got there thank god :)

I hope you don't have to file it again! :)

The DCF petitions are treated very differently. From all indications those of us residing in non-DCF countries are remaining at NBC to be processed.

How many days ago did they attempt to deliver?

I'm not sure what the case is with who is picking up the mail for USCIS, but I would call the local post office where the PO BOX is and ask them about it. That tends to be the most direct way with USPS.

I just tried the USPS tracking thing myself last week...I thought it was worth a shot and it worked! I wish someone had told me about it. :thumbs:

3/2/18  E-filed N-400 under 5 year rule

3/26/18 Biometrics

7/2019-12/2019 (Yes, 16- 21 months) Estimated time to interview MSP office.

I have just spoken with USPS and USCIS and they both recommend to wait a few days as USCIS will collect it from the post office...I'll wait a few days and if it hasn't been marked as delivered I will arrange for it to be resent to the physical address.

Thank you very much for your advice, I hope that I don't have to resend it either!

There's a receipt number but when I check the postal website they said they don't scan it once it leaves the country. I didn't know that when I sent it. I have scanned copies of everything that we sent so I will call the USCIS again next week to follow up and ask if they recommend me resending the petition.

check out USPS.COM - use the same tracking number in the track and confirm section - it'll come across and you can see something.

Thank you, I received that same advice from someone else here. And they attempted delivery on Friday and then I just checked now and it was delivered this afternoon...So I guess that makes me a November filer now seeing as for some annoying reason it took a month for my package to make it from Australia to Chicago!
