Approval Is Only the First Step
After USCIS approves a green card, employment authorization document (EAD), or advance parole travel permit, the physical document is mailed to the applicant.
However, delivery issues can sometimes occur.
Common USPS Delivery Problems
In some cases, USPS may report that they could not locate the address, resulting in the document being returned.
This can delay the applicant’s ability to:
-
Start employment
-
Travel internationally
-
Verify lawful status
Ways to Reduce Delivery Issues
Some helpful strategies include:
-
Using USPS Informed Delivery to receive advance mail notifications
-
Monitoring the USPS tracking number
-
Ensuring your address is correct with USCIS
Some law offices and applicants also use PO Boxes to reduce the risk of delivery problems.
Always Monitor Your Case
Even after approval, it is important to actively track the delivery of your immigration documents.
