Immigration Site

Hello,

I sent a package of checklist response which included my original marriage certificate and divorce decree & my employment letter, to NVC in New Hampshire last week -Tuesday, May 17. (This is for sponsoring my dad to immigrate over here by the way!) With certified mail USPS, of course! Now even until today, exactly 7 days later, the tracking number of USPS still says the same message, "There is no record of this item" whenever I try to check on their website.

Im really worried now my package might have been lost somewhere and might not be able to reach NVC. Before I have to go back and obtain all the paperwork, which will be a real pain (!), I want to know if there is ANY possible way to find out whats really going on:

1) Is there a way to ask USPS to find out where the package has gone? The tracking number is not helping up until now.

2) What will happen if NVC receive two packages of the same thing...lets just hope that USPS sent the first one in delay and let me know too late when I already sent in the second one?

3) Maybe a week (7 days) is too early? When should I be really freaked out? Im still 30-45% hoping that its just a delay of mailing and updating status on USPS part now.

Thanks if I sound too needy and like a fool....too much stress over this stuff!

You can call NVC with your case number, they should be able to tell you if they have recieved your documents.

You went here: http://www.usps.com/shipping/trackandconfirm.htm

and read this "Enter the entire number - including any letters. Spaces are allowed, but not required. If a label ID begins with 91, 92, 93, 94 or 95 those characters must be entered into the label field in order to get a valid response."

I already tried that. And they said no, they havent received anything today yet. I also sent another similar package separately for my moms case (Im doing sponsorship for both of my parents). Now that one did get delivered and USPS tracking number was fine. However, NVCs spokeperson on the phone still couldnt say anything for that one either. Basically, they said even if NVC received them, it will be a while for them to update the system.
