We dropped the I-800 in the mail on Saturday (the husband said "post office is open until 4 on Saturdays" it isn't). We sent is UPS who wanted $44 to send a 20 page set of documents to Texas and it wouldn't arrive until Aug 7th. I knew that couldn't be right, $44 to take 10 days to Texas, I could drive it there and be back and still have time to stop at Nashville and Memphis. (What can Brown do for you?) I had the guy turn the computer screen around. Well, first of all- he was wrong it would only take 3 days- which for $44 is still a lot, but you could also send it parcel post by United States Postal Service through UPS for only $4 and it would get there on Friday the 3rd.
I'm not sure how long USCIS takes, once we get this back, we'll be ready to submit our dossier to Bulgaria and get registered with the Ministry of Justice!

I would expect 5-8 weeks for USCIS. Usually the applications take two weeks to get from TX to MO and then you'll get your fingerprint appointment date a few weeks out and then you'll have your approval in the mail about a week after the prints are taken.
ReplyDeleteIf you live close to your local USCIS office, you can walk in early for your fingerprints once you have that notice and see if they'll take you. Our office was always accommodating. Then call your NBC officer and tell him/her you were already printed and to please process.
Thanks! I checked our local field office is close to work. We'll be sure to head over there as soon as we hear from them.
