UPS service to NVC Missouri

[Captain Oates 911]

The horror goes on - sent my AOS fee bill and a banker's check (that is all) via UPS:

See below > This is where I am at ! mis-sorted and now held by US customs...UPS says it is held by US customs for 2 days ...it cost me £32 ($64) to send....

UPS says it could be held for some time...

A CHECK TO THE DEPARTMENT OF STATE IS HELD BY CUSTOMS ???????? !!!!!!!!

Yep, UPS doesn't deliver to PO Boxes, only the US Postal Service does. That's how I've sent all my stuff. Sorry.

[Captain Oates 911]

oh well UPS waited until it was in missouri to tell me - now i have to wait forever for the check to come back to the uk - it takes 5 days to get a USD bankers check here in the uk so i will have to wait for mine to come all the way back

this thing just gets worse and worse

i have just about had it with the whole thing

every single step goes wrong - every single step is a nightmare

UPS had it in their system as a po box right from the first enquiry - and to add insult to injury, US customs have held it 2 days as they think there is a 'disk' inside ! there is a check for 70 dollars and the aos fee bill

why dont they just open it ? its just a ups envelope

oh i think i will get drunk tonight i just cant do this any more

ARRRGH what a pain in the a55!! We used FedEx for everything, seems to of been cool so far... but am intrigued to see if this happens to me when sending.. i hope not!

In your title you say NVC Missouri... NVC (National Visa Center) is in New Hampshire while NBC (National Benefits Center) is in Missouri

Maybe try:

National Visa Center

32 Rochester Ave.

Portsmouth, NH 03801-2909

And neither will DHL or any other private courier... the only one that does deliver to a PO box is the USPS....

I know the USPS has express service to overseas addresses, I assume then that the UK postal service has similiar options (in cooperation with the USPS).

I am digging myself in deeper now - i just ordered a new bankers check from my bank - it takes 7 or 10 days to get to me- i did send the original I-130 petition by royal mail - they said three days and it took 10... so 7 plus 10 - jeez

looks like i am right up the creek-again

Just as I was beating myself up - an email came in from the nvc to say my choice of agent has been accepted and the IV fee bill will be sent hooray ! a small glimmer of light !

Aw jeez ... I'm sorry things are so messy.

But YAY for the IV bill ... they might send that out this monday

Excuse the pun... but keep us "posted" as to how you get it there in the end... Will it be royal mail? Maybe fedex it to your other half in usa... and then have him/her post it usps once it arrives...??
