Hi arunsrivat87, glad that you got it. What kind of postage did you use to send your passport, also what kind did you include for return postage? Did you just buy an envelope and fold it and include it in another envelope along with your passport?

 

[arunsrivat87]

I sent PP thru USPS Express Mail Flat rate envelope which is for $19.95... which will reach most US locations OVERNIGHT...

Also I included another USPS Express Mail Flat rate envelope for return shipping folded inside the envelope.

Go to this link: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/offices/missions/los-angeles.asp
You will find the info you are looking for. Note that July 1 and July 4 are both holidays, so don't expect to hear from them on these two specific days. Good luck.

Arun: Thank you for your reply..i actually emailed on the general enquiry email id indicated on the website but they never reply so i am really not sure if there is any alternative way to reach them. Even i sent a flat rate express envelope hoping il get the PP fast...ended up spending so much money as well with no results

Friends,

Could anyone please throw more light upon the envelopes used for sending and return of PP?? I just realized i sent it through UPS and not USPS to LA. The website says they will not return PP using commercial courier envelopes and instead send via regular mail. Has anyone has similar experience sending PP via commercial courier? Please help. Now i am even more worried than before

HI arunsrivat87
where did u apply from? means which visa office did u request? US? please share. thanks a lot

 

[Thumsup]

I understand that i have made a mistake of not sending a USPS return envelope (
How much time it takes for PP to reach by regular mail from LA office. My PP reached there on June 21st? Do you think there is any chance i can get it by July 3? Appreciate if anyone can help me on this.

 

[arunsrivat87]

hi Thumsup,

if not USPS express mail, they will send it thru normal mail which will take atleast 4 to 5 days for delivery and also the delivery will not be upon Signature... they will drop the mail the in the Mailbox of your Apt..

So wait for 1 or 2 days and check ur mail box.. Probably you shud get it..
