@ Bigbull99,

Yeah, because you requested for delivery confirmation, they need someone physically to collect the package. And since they couldn't find anyone at the destination to pick it up, they left a notice so the recipient can go pick the package at the post office address on the back of the notice.

Calm down, there isn't any cause for alarm. USCIS mailman will pick up your package by tomorrow.

Enjoy

Thank you for the info. It helps,
But it sent to a PO Box. I thought they just leave it in the PO Box. I asked the same to the USPS lady on the phone, She said may be the box is full or too small for the package. USCIS get lots of mail every day. I guess they should have a big box.

yes, if you request a delivery confirmation for a P.O.Box, they always leave a pick up notice. Of course, there can't be anyone there since its a P.O.Box. So that could be a reason. If no confirmation isn't requested and the P.O.Box is full or the package is bigger than the box, then a pick-up notice will be left like in your case. No problem... check the USPS website tomorrow, am sure it will show delivered.

The USCIS person will get the note in the box and will collect the package in the same post office. The same thing happened to me and I CRIED but then the next day they received it. Don't worry darling.

Thanks dear

Hi guys.
I need some advise.
I sent the documents by USPS, Delevery conformation, NO, Signature Conformation. It was supposed to be delevered to day.
This is what it says on the USPS web site

www.usps.com/redelivery or calling 800-ASK-USPS, or may pick up the item at the Post Office indicated on the notice. If this item is unclaimed after 15 days then it will be returned to the sender. Information, if available, is updated periodically throughout the day. Please check again later."> Priority Mail®

Delivery Confirmation™

I dont get it. It says no authorised representative? I thought it was a po box.
I called the USPS. they said that there was no one to recieve it so, a notice was left for them to pic it up at the desk.
Is it normal ? I am worried now.

I had the same problem when I sent my RFE as well. They usually pick it up later in the day or the next day. Not to worry. Then in a day or 2 they update the case online letting you know they received it and it is in RFE review
 
interview is scheduled!!!!!!!!!!!

I haven't received AP and EAD, but when I check them online it says AP is mailed on 10/26, EAD on 11/03. But good news is finally interview is scheduled for December 12, I received an email notification yesterday.

Hey congrats.... I didn't know they send email to notify interview appointment. That is great for those of us that can't check cases online. At least we can know the scheduled date before receiving the IL in mail.

I'm not totally sure but do you know where you can sign up for updates on that page where you check your case status? Well if you can locate your case, you can sign up for case updates using your alien # but this only works for those who can locate their case statuses. That's probably why maestro was able to be informed via email and text.
 
Thank you guys...
Lazhy you need to do what MarineWife said, so you can track all your cases and right away get all updates via email or text to your phone. I am getting all updates via email, I didn't put my cell#.

@ MarineWife and Meastro8,

I believe you don't have to do any more thing if you have sent the Form G-1145 (Email & Text Notification). By sending this form with each petition/application you sent, you will automatically receive emails and text notification for any update on those cases.

If you didn't send the form G-1145 with your petitions/application, then you can go online to register for Email & Text notification after you login with your case numbers.

I have received NOAs emails on my 3 cases already, so if there comes any update on any of the 3 cases, I will definitely get an email about that. The worries now is checking the cases online. I think Sweet15 or Sweet1031 called them about this issue and was told to call back after 1 month, and that the issue is usual for the first month of application submission. I think it 1 month already and we should be calling them now to see what other thing they have to say.

Hey guys,

Sorry for intruding into "October Filers" page. I am a September filer and sometimes wander into August and October filer threads too. :D
Regarding the e-mail notification, you do need to sign up on USCIS website even if you submitted G-1145 because G1145 notifies you only for "petition acceptance" (3 NOAs that you received) and not for further case updates.

It says so on USCIS website:
"Purpose of Form :
To be used by an Applicant or Petitioner who can file their application/petition at one of the three USCIS Lockbox facilities, and who wishes to receive electronic notification (e-Notification) that their application has been accepted. "

Plus, there is no harm in registering yourself on USCIS website anyways, right? :)

@hy2934

You are absolutely right. But the issue is that most of the October filers cant track their cases online. And without being able to track the cases, you cannot register for case updates.
 
Well until they update OUR info into THEIR systems, we'll just have to wait to get updated the old-fashioned way (regular old USPS). Lucky for those who can track their progress.

Actually, I registered on USCIS website as an applicant customer. When I logged in, It asked me to add my cases to my portfolio. I tried with my case numbers and it brought an error that case cannot be found. I really hope our cases will come online soon. But a part of my mind is telling me we would probably not be able to track our cases till the end of this process. I hope not. Because, getting to know the interview date by mail might not leave enough time to prepare for the interview.
 
@Lazhy "But a part of my mind is telling me we would probably not be able to track our cases till the end of this process. I hope not. Because, getting to know the interview date by mail might not leave enough time to prepare for the interview." - My sentiments exactly.

Every night I go over potential questions with my hubby. Constant preparation is the key to success.....or so I hope. I have a feeling our (mine and his) interview won't be until February or March, so we've got a little time to work with. If it's in January, well I'd be happy but I don't think we're gonna be that lucky.

That is a long time. Have you checked the timeline of past filers who just had their interview in your city? My interview should be within the week before Christmas, the week between Christmas and New Year, or the week after New Year. My estimation is based on the timeline of recent filers who recently had their interview in my city. Typically, it now takes within 2.5 to 3 months from submission to interview in my city.

Yes, Houston is known for their quick processing times. Where I am it seems they take an average of 6 months to about 9 months. Washington, D.C is just as busy, if not busier, than NYC. I'm hoping it goes faster but I'm not really holding my breath.
 
Lucky for you Lazhy. I am with MarineWife on the timeline for interview for me as well. Here in NY it's a bit longer than 3 months so I'm not looking for no IL no time soon(if it does come though I won't complain ;)). I however am looking forward for my EAD card. Wanna start working. I'm hoping it comes by December
