Does USCIS ever pick up their mail from USPS?

My N-400 app is stuck in transit:

We attempted to deliver your item at 11:55 AM on May 6, 2009 in LEWISVILLE, TX 75067 and a notice was left. You may pick up the item at the Post Office indicated on the notice [...] If this item is unclaimed after five days then it will be returned to the sender. Information, if available, is updated every evening. Please check again later.

Can I call USPS to ask them to try to redeliver? Or should I patiently wait until the app is returned to me and I am out of $17.50? Hindisght 20/20 - I should have used Fedex for that.

This is a fairly common situation faced by other applicants too in the past. The application is delivered on the next business day. No need to worry.

Well, I made that post precisely because it was *not* delivered on the next business day. The status has not changed since May 6 (two days ago). USPS tried to deliver on May 6 but did not try to deliver on May 7. So I am asking if there is anything I can do to make USPS redeliver the package because I suspect noone from USCIS is ever going to pick their mail up at the post office.

Your package might have been delivered already. USPS doesn't have advanced tracking system like FedEx or UPS. They don't have capability to update quickly/accurately like FedEx. You are assuming that the package hasn't delivered yet based on the online message. Well, wait and see.
 
USPS all ready delivered it to the lock box. I don't think there is any thing USPS can do.

I also used USPS Express for the same facility, first I got "We attempted to deliver your item at 10:34 AM on May 1, 2009 in LEWISVILLE, TX 75029 and a notice was left" this message. Then later that evening it was picked up. Remember that USPS might not update it's web site as soon as it gets picked up.

Just be patient and give it another day.
 
You're worrying too much for nothing. The delivery status should be updated sometime later today to delivered. If by next Monday afternoon it still shows the same status, then contact USPS.
 
Thank you everyone.

For the record: I called USPS about 2 PM this afternoon and they said noone has picked up the mail yet. However about 5 minutes after I ended the call, the status magically updated to "Your item was delivered at 1:09 PM on May 6, 2009 in LEWISVILLE, TX 75067 to USCIS . The item was signed for by C SMITH.". May 6! Sigh.

So the moral of the story is: if you want reliable tracking - do not use USPS.
 
Same issue as Eltoro, USCIS express mail stuck

Hi Eltoro,

I have the same issue as your's of my mail getting stuck. I have sent the documents on 27th July, 2009 and on 28th July the USPS web site says this:

"We attempted to deliver your item at 10:54 AM on July 28, 2009 in LEWISVILLE, TX 75029 and a notice was left. You may pick up the item at the Post Office indicated on the notice, go to [USPS url], or call 800-ASK-USPS to arrange for redelivery. If this item is unclaimed after five days then it will be returned to the sender. Information, if available, is updated periodically throughout the day. Please check again later."

Funny thing is the zip code mentioned above is the P.O. Box zip code whereas I have mailed the documents to Express/Courier zip code which is 75067 and not 75029.

Why is USPS trying to deliver to P.O. Box even though I have sent to other address? Is USCIS is forwarding all mail (even express) to P.O. Box?

FYI, I did not uncheck signature option, means someone needs to sign on receipt and to top it off I also asked for return receipt........LOL

Any suggestions?
 
It pays off to be cheap..

I did not send my N-400 package by UPS or FedEx.

I did not send it by Priority, Registered or Certified mail..

I used USPS 1st Class Parcel Mail with $.19 Electronic Delivery Confirmation Option.

I downloaded the free application on the USPS web-site and printed the label on my home printer. Took it to the post office. The entire thing cost me $3.08 including the envelope.

Guess what, my package also got delivered on the 2nd day after sending, singed by the same guy C. Smith and status changed almost at the same time, everything same as Eltoro :)

Thanks to everyone who responded.
 
Forgot to write N/A in N400

We forgot to write N/A in N400 forms and left fields blank where we had no information. Later we realised that we were suppose to. Does anyone know what can be the implications of this? Our forms were mailed on 27th, 2009 and we have not any notice from USCIS as of 07/31/2009.

Thanks for help.
