I am sending my AOS packet tomorrow to avoid the new fees. Which carrier would you recommend for fast and safe service? USPS Priority Express to have the postmark date or UPS Next Day ?

Thank you for your opinion...

I sent in a normal First Class Envelope they provided and it arrived in 3 days from West Virginia. Went that route since I was sending to the Chicago PO Box and figured less hands involved getting it there.

I used USPS Priority (not Express) two weeks ago from California, and it was fully delivered and confirmed to the Chicago lockbox in 3 days, as promised.

Postmarks by USPS are the only postmarks that USCIS honors.

One can find the following text in many places on the USCIS website: 

 

"USCIS will apply the final rule to all applications and petitions postmarked (or, if applicable, submitted electronically) on or after that date.  For applications and petitions sent by commercial courier (for example, UPS, FedEx, or DHL), the postmark date is the date reflected on the courier receipt."

 

For Example:  https://www.uscis.gov/news/public-charge-fact-sheet

 

You can also find it on USCIS' Twitter page:

"If you put the federal government in charge of the Sahara Desert, in five years there'd be a shortage of sand." -- Milton Freidman
