It’s Not Your Imagination: U.S. Mail Delivery Is Slower Than Before
According to reports, approximately 20 to 50 percent of U.S. mail now takes an extra day to deliver, thanks in part to the U.S. Postal Service’s eliminating first-class local overnight delivery starting in January and closing many mail processing plants in response to decreased demand. This slowdown is affecting delivery of immigration-related documents, such as approval notices, among others.
