USPS in Chicago Concerns

[bulapapi 5]

I mailed a time sensitive document back to USCIS on June 6, 2019. It was supposed to be delivered on June 8, 2019, but the tracking has not been updated since the 8th... now everyday from 9th to 11th today says "In transit, arriving late" It's so agonizing. I'm anxious AF. Anyone else in this situation?

 

June 11, 2019
In Transit, Arriving Late
Your package will arrive later than expected, but is still on its way. It is currently in transit to the next facility.

This is not unheard of from USPS. Happens all the time. Should only delay things by a day or 3 max.

 

Next time stick to fedex or UPS. I understand it tends to be a bit on the expensive side but 

 

I know both do not deliver to PO Boxes but you can remove that and just add

 

USCIS
Attn: <Form No>
400 Some Address

Random City

State ZIP Code

I would have sent it using fedex or ups, but on the letter I received from USCIS asking me to submit to the pobox address in chicago lockbox, hence I sent using USPS... I am thinking of resending it, can I just send it using fedex to their address on here?

So funny that it's USPS at it again 😕 

 

I mailed my ROC packet thru USPS and it made it to California in 2 days BUT.....it was then shown as being returned to West Palm Beach on the 3rd day.....I was like WHAT???!!!!!

Then, on day 5, it made another loop and was headed back to California.....USPS does not surprise me with their shenanigans. 

 

Sorry that you are going thru this and feeling the pressures of anxiety.

Another day passing without it being delivered. Same automated updated 4 days in a row. So frustrating.

This was not recent...this was back in 2018 when I filed my packet.....BUT, I called USPS customer service and made an inquiry. They gave me a case # and I was contacted by the person who receives and signs for all the mail that go to the main USCIS center in California. He said somebody didn't offload a mail bin off one of the trucks and it "accidentally" went back to the main center so that's why I saw it transiting back and forth between Florida and then en route to California and then back to Florida.

He was really nice and said he specifically searched for my packet when the mail bin came back to their facility (don't know if he was truthful) but claims he found my packet and was processing it for distribution to a case worker at the facility.

 

If 1 week has passed since you mailed your packet out, I suggest contacting USPS customer support and getting a case number so that a human being can physically follow up on where your packet is.

Good luck!

Glad it worked out for you. Mine seems stuck in the final distribution center and hasn’t made it to the local office yet. I don’t know why.

Just an update, in case someone in the same situation as me.....

The package was delivered 4 days later than the expected date. It was delivered on June 12 and USCIS picked it up the next morning on June 13...
