It is not . Mine is still processing after almost two weeks from picking it up . I suppose the CO has to  close   it after interview approval . I emailed them from the new account and they replied that I need to call 📞. Didn't have time yet  .

I see. I assumed that since all the notices closing EAD/AP and AOS approval came at the same time via text and email. But yeah, that can be possible. I don't think there is a need to keep them processing anyway.

UPDATE:

Never mind, I spoke too soon. My frustration continues. Yesterday my status changed to "Notice Was Returned To USCIS Because The Post Office Could Not Deliver It". So I decided not to wait until June 18 since now I know the interview notice won't be delivered for sure by then and I called them today to fax it to me as I was told to. I spoke to tier 2 officer and he said he will NOT fax it and that I should do an e-request. E-request says to expect a reply by July 3rd.  

 

So I guess I can pray that it gets mailed immediately and get delivered this time or I will miss my interview? How is it possible that one person tells me it can be faxed and then another says it can't and that he can't see anything on the system? This is so frustrating! 

I think I'll just keep calling and requesting tier 2 until I get to talk to someone who will be able to fax it to me. 

 

Any ideas about what I could do?

 

I tried to read through some VJ threads regarding this issue but they don't really have any answers or updates about how it end up (not) working out 

The positive side of that is they are aware they, and not you, are the ones with the interview notice at hand. And highly likely they will attempt to re-send again.

 

I faced almost similar situation with the NOA1 of my AP. Long story short, where I live we don't receive mail directed to our homes and we are assigned a PO Box in our nearest Post Office, for free. The AP form only have a section for the physical address and not a mailing address like the other forms (AOS/EAD). So USCIS mailed it to my physical address. Whoever was at the post office probably couldn't link the physical address with our assigned PO Box, and didn't put it on the PO Box, so it was returned to USCIS. On April 10 I got that same update and I believe the next day or same day it updated again saying "Document Was Mailed to Me" (or similar) saying they sent it again. After I got that notice online I let the Post Office staff that I might have a letter in the next few days and might have my physical address and asked them to put it on the PO Box. I don't think It took more than 4 days to arrive so maybe there is hope you can receive in time, your interview is 13 days away so even if is mailed tomorrow, it should be plenty of time to arrive.

This fear of missing mail is why we made sure soon after PoE to go to local post office that is actually in charge of day to day mail delivery to us (And is not same as large post office most people use to actually send mail out) and let them know there is a new person living at the address, and they updated the name on the mailbox the next same day. 

In other news, while we wait... My wife got her very first FICO score, 713 according to Wells Fargo, which is actually "Good" Capital One now won't stop sending her credit card offers.

We actually did that too. On the very first trip to the post office after I arrived, we asked to add my name to the PO Box and I was indeed added. And throughout all the time I've been here the mail lady that works there has get to know us very well, she already know the only Hispanic guy who receives mail there is me. Lol so I don't think she would have missed it, I have had mail before that incident sent to my physical address and she had put it on our assigned PO Box. Maybe that day she wasn't there or she wasn't in a good mood and decided to give me a lesson, so next time I make sure I use the PO Box address as mailing address instead lol 🤔

Hi guys! Just got the notification that the card was mailed to me but it doesn’t have the tracking number or anything on there? How do I get that?

You will get another notification after that one called Card was picked up by USPS, and that one will show your tracking number

It really is different for everyone, for some it changes the same day or next day, in my case it took 3 days (Friday to Monday)

Even though they have  sent you notices before  to your address I would update your address online. I got that same status before with one of my notices. Somehow they put “UK” on at the end of a USA address. 😑. For you it could be just a small error that’s why it can’t be posted to you. Try that and call them back again.

 

Thank you for the tip! I saw the front of the envelope with the address on my informed delivery and it was all correct so I guess the mailman decided for some reason not to leave it in our mailbox. Now I registered my name with usps as a new resident and also put both of our names on the mailbox even though they told us that it was supposed to be delivered if my last name matches my husband's which is on the mailbox

Thank you guys for all the advice about my missing interview notice! I called to USCIS again and spoke to another tier 2 today. I'm shocked how the answers differ also for the tier 2 officers! The guy yesterday basically said they won't fax it and that I need to do an erequest. He couldn't see anything about my interview on the system.

 

Today I had such a different experience! The guy today before me even saying anything about why I'm calling summarized that I was scheduled an interview and for when and that he can see the notice was returned to them. And I was like yes, I called 2 weeks ago and was told to call back in couple weeks if I don't receive the notice so you could fax it to me. And he is like we usually fax it if it is 5 days before the interview, for you it's 12 days now but I'll put in the request and you should hopefully have it faxed today. He wished me good luck at the interview too. Such a nice guy! 

 

We got the notice faxed within 30 minutes! I feel so relieved!

 

I'll summarize and post the information in a separate thread today so it can help other people experiencing the same problem. I found many descriptions of the same issue on here but not really the result/solution

That is awesome news and Im glad you had such a positive experience! This only goes to show that sometimes it truly is a matter of just calling and calling until you get lucky enough to talk to the right person. If only they wouldn't put you on hold for such a ridiculous amount of time though. They really ought to train all of the officers the same way, to avoid problems/inconsistencies like this

Just another perfectly normal day at USCIS roller-coaster ride 

I am glad you managed to get it, and it is good to know it is indeed an option!
