UPSP lost AOS package. What now?

[Dutchster 1,107]

Thanks for the replies. No, cash has not been checked so that's why I ask. It has been two weeks and I thought they'd cash the check once they received the package so I don't think it's anywhere near the lockbox. I will add a copy of my DS-3025 with it and an explanation what happened to the envelope (if they take the time to read lol) and in the meanwhile look for civil surgeons if needed.

The thing is that having two applications in the mix is a VERY bad idea, so I would highly encourage you to wait. USCIS will cash your check twice, or, if you stop payment on the first check, they will send a demand letter for funds. The more I thought about this, I am convinced it is already delivered and the scan was nor performed. You said the tracking showed it went to Chicago, so it is nearby the lockbox at least. USCIS gets thousands of letters a day so I bet the mailman sometimes forgets to do all the scans. I would wait 30 days from the date of sending to be sure.

Thank you, Harpa. I will wait for another two weeks and track if they cash the check in the meanwhile. Appreciate the help!

The good news is that if it arrived, the NOA1 date will be dated the day it arrived, even if it takes them a little time to open the package. You could join a monthly filers thread and see if the general trend is faster or slower for NOA1s right now. Good luck.

stephadams I thought at POE they open the sealed envelope and they take care of that package. how did you still had your sealed envelope?

[Dutchster 1,107]

I had a small white sealed envelope that said "Sealed. Do not open. Use for I-485"

It contains medical stuff.

Did you got that packet from Port of entry? Or after your medical. Sorry just trying to understand how that works. I thought they open your sealed envelope at Port of entry and that's preety much it.

i got a big sealed package that I indeed couldn't open, only CBP at the POE. They kept stuff and I got the same envelope back -fairly lighter, of course- with a copy of my DS-3025 and chest x-ray cdrom in it , papers that had an explanation of how this visa works and afterwards, a sealed white, small envelop that I could not open and that's it. I don't know what country your from and if packages may differ per country (which as assume will a little). This was my package. Plus, we send of that white envelope as proof of the medical we had overseas. Not the I-693 like VJ's guide tells you.

untrue i sent my package april 8th they recieved it april 11th... my case basically sat on someone desk 14days before anyone looked at it.. My noa date was the 25th of april which was the day someone decided to look at my case... My check was not cashed until april 28th.. so my NOA was 14days from USCIS receiving it and my check was cashed 3days after them sending out my NOA... took a total of 17days to cash my check

Update; the check got cashed today! So the package is not lost. Worrying over!
