Waited 8 months for my N-565 replacement to get approved and shipped. USPS carrier showed up, rang the bell, and left in under 30 seconds (I have Ring footage). Left a pink slip and the package just vanished from there. USCIS NEVER sent the tracking number either.

Went to the post office multiple times. The supervisor herself searched, couldn’t find it, and admitted in writing it was a carrier handling failure. USPS sent me a formal response saying the package is gone and they are not financially liable since there was no insurance on it.

I already filed the USCIS non-delivery e-request and I am filing a formal complaint with USPS.

My questions:
1. Has anyone had USCIS resend a document after a confirmed USPS loss? How long did it take?
2. Is the fee waived since this was clearly not my fault?
3. Do I have to restart the full N-565 process or is there a faster track?

Eight months of waiting gone because of a 30 second delivery attempt. Any help appreciated

Looking to buy an N Line in NYC, it can be year 2024 or 2023 maybe even 2025 if the price is right. What kind of OTD price am I expecting? Maybe less than 30k miles. Is $20k or less possible?

I'm currently working as a contractor at a city agency and in the process of being directly hired by the same agency. It's been a few months and I'm still waiting on OMB clearance, but it sounds like it's moving forward.

My question is: once HR reaches out and the offer is finalized, is it reasonable to ask for a delayed start date - say, about a month - so I can take a vacation before officially starting? Has anyone successfully negotiated this? Any downsides I should be aware of?
