Helo everyone,

I'm about to send my I-751 package and I was wondering what is the best carrier to use?

Can I use Fedex?

Yes, you can use any carrier you like FEDEX or UPS or USPS. Make sure you can track your package.

I mailed mine this past Friday via USPS with Signature Confirmation and VSC just received it about 25 mins ago.

Ok, thanks. I'm not sure if FEDEX delivers to PO box-es and i didn't know you can actually send with "signature confirmation" :D

You mean someone actually signed to confirm they received your package?

Did you use one of those big USPS envelopes?

Did you use one of those big USPS envelopes? I tried to use a cardboard flat rate but it wouldn't close because the packet I was sending was thick so I just put the flat rate envelope inside those USPS Priority Mail white soft envelopes.

Good luck!! smile.png

Ok, I ended up using USPS because I had an "issue" with Fedex a couple of years ago. :D

Also, USPS is closer :P

I've used USPS Express Mail, Signature requested. Sent my application yesterday at 4.00pm and it was received by USCIS today, at 12.34 pm.

Impressive!

Let the waiting begin.....

USPS works just fine. Priority mail would be perfect especially if you are not pressed for time and it arrives there just as fast as Express mail (and is slightly cheaper!) Make sure you get tracking (delivery or signature confirmation)
