What is ‘signature confirmation’ when mailing a package to USCIS?

Signature confirmation is a United States postal service that requires the recipient to sign for the package at the time of delivery. When you use it to send your documentation to USCIS, you get a trackable proof that your shipment arrived and was actually received.

In practice, the service generates a tracking number and a delivery record, including the recipient’s signature. This acts as an extra layer of security for your EB-2 NIW petition, because it helps eliminate any doubt about loss in transit and gives you concrete evidence that you completed the mailing step.

• Confirms receipt with the signature of the person who receives the package.
• Generates tracking and a record of the delivery date.
• Serves as proof that the package reached USCIS.

Mailing options and requirements may vary depending on the form and the destination address, so it is worth reviewing the official USCIS instructions and, if in doubt, confirming the procedure with a specialist before sending your package.
