Plastic Card possibly lost in Mail

[getmeout]

After 3 years of waiting, finally we got our approval on May. I and my wife got approved of our I485.

My wife got her card ordered on Aug 2nd and mailed on Aug 5th and we have not received yet. 14 days is almost over now.

My card was ordered on Aug 3rd and mailed on Aug 16th

I did receive it on 18th Aug.

As per status, it is supposed to be received much earlier.
Looks like it is lost in USPS.

I think our postman who often put my mails to neighbor’s box and they some time returned to us. If they would have put that mail back to outgoing,then we are screwed.

What are the options to me? I called Cust. Service and they are asking me to wait for 1 month to open a query for me.

I have not changed the address. We are planning to move in 1.5 month.

Any suggestion would help.
Did any one experience this before?

INS giving all kind of troubles until the end…..

getmeout,

It's CIS as they're now called (same level of competence and charm). Did you try to explain that you will be moving? May not help, but it's worth a shot.

If the card dot come by the time you move, I suggest the following:
1. Wait until you get to your new address and then file AR-11 with return receipt (to ensure it did get delivered!; keep the receipt - never know if they lose the AR-11 or have it sitting in storage for years).
2. Call CIS and request that they mail you a new card. Over a month will have elapsed.

This is indeed a hassle. But remember the impatience of wating for the I-485 to be adjudicated and you'll feel better. You're now a permanent resident!

Do let us know how it turns out.
