How often does uscis pick up mail

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) does not have a standard schedule for picking up mail. However, they do have a process in place for handling and processing mail.

Here are some general guidelines on how USCIS handles mail:

  1. Mail processing times: USCIS processes mail on a first-come, first-served basis. The processing time for mail can vary depending on the volume of mail received and the complexity of the requests.
  2. Mail receipt: USCIS receives and processes mail Monday through Friday, except for federal holidays. Mail is typically processed within 2-3 business days of receipt.
  3. Priority handling: USCIS prioritizes mail that requires expedited handling, such as emergency requests or urgent situations. In these cases, USCIS may process the mail more quickly, often within 24-48 hours.
  4. Mail forwarding: If you move or change your address, you should notify USCIS in writing to ensure that your mail is forwarded to your new address. USCIS typically forwards mail within 2-4 weeks of receiving the notification.
  5. Lost or undeliverable mail: If USCIS is unable to deliver your mail, they will return it to the sender or attempt to contact you to resolve the issue.

To track the status of your mail, you can:

  1. Check your online account: If you have an online account with USCIS, you can track the status of your mail and applications.
  2. Contact USCIS: You can contact USCIS by phone or email to inquire about the status of your mail.
  3. Use the USCIS Case Status Online Tool: This tool allows you to track the status of your case, including mail processing.

Remember to keep a record of your mail, including the date sent and the tracking number (if applicable), in case you need to follow up with USCIS.
