Send my FBI letter or wait?

[USjason]

Hello Board,

Thank you again for everyone who always responds to my questions, regardless of how weird they are so forgive me for being paranoid on this one but I just received my FBI criminal history letter which I applied for 14 weeks ago. When I submitted my immigration application on Aug 31st, I included an addendum to it showing proof of my request and advising them that I will forward it as soon as it was received. Now that I have it, I am honestly scared to death to just mail it to an address and hope that it somehow finds it way back to my application packet so I'm wondering if I should rather wait until I receive my first letter (which I thought would be around week 6 but it's been closer to 9 weeks now) and see if they give me further instructions, or if I should take the chance and send it with signature confirmation to the same address that I sent my packet and hope it doesn't get loss in the shuffle?

Its always better to send when they request.

Thank you so much for your reply!! I just didn't know if they would actually request it, or if they would see where I already made the request and then just wait for me to send it. I didn't want to fall into a position where we were both waiting for each other; but on the other side, as long as it takes to get that letter, I would hate to send it alone and just hope it finds its way back to my packet again.
