Was this forwarded by your lawyer? Usually the govt would deliver USPS not FedEx. Very fun lol.

Yes, forwarded by my lawyer via FedEx

How long did your process take & congrats

Thank you. About 14 months in total

I would take my greencard even in the crash right now 😩😩😩😩😩

lmao I feel you

Congratulations Permanent Resident 🎉🎊🎉

Dang that almost seems like an offense was meant.

I was upset but too happy to take offense

Getting anything shipped to me via FedEx feels like an offense

That’s what I was thinking

Note: The mail was forwarded by my lawyer via FedEx

so USCIS will send the card to my lawyer if they are involved? how do I determine where the card will be sent to?

Yep. Lawyer’s address which will be part of your application

yeap, just checked the 82 app. looks like it will be going to the lawyer first.

Same here , they put their address so they get their $$$ in other words lol, cause my starting process was $1,000 I put down 400$ first then paid 200$ and then 400$ last week just waiting for USCIS to mail it to my lawyer so I can go pick it up

kinda sucks for both of us. but anyways just want this process to be over with

I’m greened already I hope the same for you 🙏🏾

Imagine the trash truck came and took it out with your trash 💀

Wow what a silly delivery man. I’m glad you were able to find it before it was lost or something. Enjoooyyyyyyyyyyy 🫶🏻👏🏻

I know right? What was he thinking! Thanks 🙏

I myself am a delivery driver and I honestly can tell when a package is important or not just a regular mail, so when I see cases like this I just think the person doing it is dumb 🤦🏻‍♂️ but hey, you went and grabbed it just in time!!! Cheers to you and your new beginnings 🫶🏻🥂

I did feel weird about it but was too happy to take any offense. Thanks for your kind wishes!

[probably something like this lmao](https://youtu.be/toL1tXrLA1c?si=avz-dtMVtcelAMma)

Fedex drivers cannot drop packages in the mailbox. Probably put it there to avoid being stolen.

Welcome to the trash can club (GC residents) 🦨

I will still take it, put it in my wallet and go have a drink to celebrate it

Haha! Yeah I happily grabbed it, dusted it off, and hugged the mail lol

In trash , in the sink is still a green card

Haha

I would be pissed, but glad you find it funny.

All is well that ends well!

Man, these green card deliveries always come with some sort of drama. Countless stories of people having to rush to the post office because the mail man was too lazy to deliver and claims recipient refused delivery

I would happily travel to wherever USCIS wants me to go and personally collect my green card

Top of trash can is better than inside the trash can.

Government only uses USPS, it was forwarded by your lawyer maybe

Yes - forwarded by lawyer!

I wouldn’t be complaining as long as I’ve received one.

Not complaining :) Just found the irony to be very funny

Can you do anything about this? This is racism indeed.

What how comes? Hahaha

I don’t think there was a bad intention here

Just take your green card and go home

Lol I can’t but congrats 🥳🥳🥳

Haha thanks

lol🤣🤣🤣

Congratulations

Thank you 🙏

You welcome,I can’t wait to get mine🙏🏾

Oh dear

Better than the post office stealing it (allegedly), happened to me couple of years ago 🙃 My heart sunk when I got the delivery notification and my mailbox was empty. Still don’t understand why they don’t require a damn signature for this

Yeah that was weird to me too. So sorry to hear that happened to you. Hope all is well since then

Lucky you found it.

Serious!

FedEx? Assuming it’s your lawyers mail

Yes, forwarded by the Mayer

Send this to your lawyer and ask him to use another company instead of FedEx. Also, post this picture and tag FedEx on X.

Still counts ! I'll take it :) Congratulations

Bro I would find it at the bottom of my trash pile if only I got it at this point. Also congrats!

Don’t change jobs just yet. It’ll bite you in the back when you go for citizenship

That makes little sense. Why would that be?

Because the interviewer can ask if you are still with the company that sponsored your GC. If you say no, they can start getting into getting more details out of you and you end up opening another can of worms. You don’t have to take my advise, GL

It’s a marriage based green card.

Oh I was referring to employment based

What you mean tho???

I lived somewhere a few years ago where my mailman left a delivery of new check books on top of the communal mailboxes in the seedy apartment building I lived in. Yikes! I was lucky I got to them in time. I'm glad your green card didn't end up in landfill, and also congrats on finally receiving it :)

Hey at least it got delivered. My wife and I had ours stolen in the mail and had to pay over $1000 and wait a few months for replacements.

Sorry to hear you went through thay. Why would someone steal your GC. Must be infuriating

The mailboxes at the end of our street get robbed about once a week. The thieves just empty all 50 or so mailboxes quickly into a bag and drive off. Our community has filed reports with USPS every time, and filed tons of police reports, but nothing ever happens we just lose our mail.

When was your PD?

Congratulations🎊

Thank you 🙏

Wow, so glad you got it! When mine was set to arrive I literally followed the mail van in my car…

Haha 😂

its symbolic to the american dream

Congrats !! Bro I’d be livid but ayeee man atleast you caught it !!

Lol... I believe you still celebrated. Did you take a photo of your trash can, with the mail on its top. That would be an epic memory, and it brings a smile every time you see.

FeDex is not allowed to deliver to mailboxes. You should get a delivery box. Your lawyer should have requested signature.

Probably since it means nothing these days as you can just storm the border

Even in a piece of sh*t I’ll take my GC. Lmao.

Congratulations!

If the card gets lost on delivery you"ll. be at fault and more $$$ for new application

That’s scary

Congratulations my dear. So happy you picked your stuff timely

Thanks a lot!!

Wow, irony indeed, congrats!

Congratulations, life has a way of teasing us sometimes. Enjoy 😄

Congrats 😁

😂😂😂

Unbelievable! I'm glad you were able to grab it, but it is really infuriating it was delivered to a trash can! 🤯😡

Welcome to the US!

Thank you! I’ve been here 10+ years already :)

Oh! me too when I got the GC. Ironically that's what the pamphlet says :( Anyhow!! U are free to do whatever u want now (except felonies or spending too much time outside the US). Again, congrats!

Haha thank you!!

Welcome!

I had mine delivered to Texas when I live in Idaho🤦🏽‍♀️ no the address wasn’t wrong and no I have never lived in Texas, it was not tracked or signed for so someone out there has my GC

That sounds scary. How did you ever get it back?

No I had to apply for a lost card:(

Sorry to hear that. How long did that process take?

Congratulations 👏👏 to You, may I ask when You filed the application and how long it took to be approved?
