USCIS Clarifies Process to Request Expedited Delivery of Documents

Share this:

USCIS clarifies the processes by which applicants can select delivery services and timelines. USCIS customers, whose petitions or applications are processed at a USCIS Service Center or the National Benefits Center and who wish to receive certain documents back by overnight delivery service, must include a valid prepaid air bill or shipping label with their filing. USCIS will use that prepaid air bill or label whenever possible.

Please note that this service is available only for the following document types:

Advance parole documents
Re-entry permits
Refugee travel documents
Approval notices (Service Centers only)
Notices of denial (Service Centers only)

To ensure there are no delays remember to include a valid prepaid air bill or shipping label, enter your name in both the to and from fields of the label and pay all delivery costs in advance.
