Well, the Post Office CANNOT get our package to USCIS 320 miles away

Could be, but after 2.5 weeks, Vermont has not responded with even a receipt.

Funny thing is, I work for FedEx, but FedEx does not deliver to post office boxes. I saw where someone said you can deliver it by FedEx, but then FedEx relies, I believe, on a courier to take to the P.O Box. I was, like, "well it is a POST OFFICE BOX, what could go wrong?" *sigh*

They give NO explanation. All they are saying is that it was delayed, but delayed for WHAT reason?

Well, I am going to the Post Office that sent it out and raise hell. I just have to wait to see if it was "returned to sender" because it is now at my local Post office.

I remember the woman confirming ALL the information with me. This is not like it went to Vermont to a wrong address and being sent back. It has NOT left the New York/New Jersey area at all and the only explanation is that it was delayed.

I did not GUESS at the postage. I paid what rang up. The receipt shows the address I sent it to and we are going on vacation in 10 days and won't be back until a little over a week BEFORE her temporary visa is up. I am not worried as yet, just highly upset and this calm person will be exploding tomorrow. 

Courier address is,

 

USCIS Vermont Service Center
75 Lower Welden Street
St. Albans, VT 05479

 

You work for FedEx and took a chance with USPS in the storms?

I was not aware of a courier address, if I remember correctly.

 

The package went back to Manhattan, it's origin. I will retrieve it, after cursing everyone and getting my refund and then mail it with FedEx.

Where did you find a PO box for the Vermont office? Are you sure you didn't confuse the two offices and put the wrong address?

USPS can and does screw things up.  Last March, I sent my I-129 to the Dallas Lockbox via USPS Priority Mail.  I signed up for email/text alerts.  Going from Minneapolis, MN should be a straight shot south to Dallas.  Much to my surprise, the most direct route was thru Jamaica, NY.   Paperwork spent several days in NYC before it finally got to Dallas 11 days after I mailed it.  I will never use USPS for any of the followup paperwork that I will be needing to send in for this.

It was just a recollection on my part. I am sure I put down an address to Saint Albans which did not include a PO Box

Two days later, after I went to the Post Office to complain, the package arrived in Vermont on Thursday (April 12th) at 12:03 PM. Now, what comes next because my wife's 2 year anniversary is 5/15. Hoping to receive something from the USCIS that "protects" while they are reviewing her paperwork. Of course, we lost about 17 days due to this fiasco.
