USPS is Failing Us: Lost EADs, Green Cards, and Lives at Risk - We Need Change NOW!

Fellow Redditors,

If you’ve ever waited on a critical document like an Employment Authorization Document (EAD) or Green Card, only to see USPS mark it "Delivered" when it’s nowhere to be found, you know the panic. Your job, your legal status, your entire life hangs in the balance—and USPS doesn’t seem to care. This isn’t just happening to a few of us; it’s a widespread crisis, with story after story piling up on Reddit of lost documents and ruined plans.

We’re done waiting for USPS to figure it out. I’ve written a letter demanding real change—special handling for federal documents, accountability for their mistakes, and oversight to stop fake "Delivered" statuses. Now, we need your help to make them listen.

Here’s what to do before they misdeliver your EAD/GC/Passport/Federal Documents:

1. Copy the letter below (feel free to add your own story to make it personal).
2. Send it to these key players:
   • Postmaster General Louis DeJoy (475 L’Enfant Plaza SW, Washington, D.C. 20260)
   • USPS Office of Inspector General
   • Your U.S. Senators and Representative
   • House Oversight Committee Chair Rep. James Comer (2157 Rayburn House Office Building, Washington, D.C. 20515)
   • Your local USPS Consumer Affairs office
3. Spread the word: Upvote this post, share it, and drop your own USPS horror stories in the comments to show how big this problem is.

Together, we can force USPS to stop treating our lives like lost mail. Let’s do this!

Subject: Urgent Reform Needed for USPS Handling of Federal Documents

Dear [Recipient’s Name/Title],

The United States Postal Service (USPS) is failing countless individuals by mishandling critical federal documents like EADs and Green Cards. These documents, essential for work and legal residency, are routinely marked “Delivered” on tracking systems while never reaching recipients. This incompetence threatens livelihoods, finances, and even lawful status, risking deportation for those caught in this nightmare.

Reddit is flooded with chilling stories from real people affected by this systemic issue. Here’s proof of the widespread problem:

• EAD Card Delivered but Not Received
• OPT EAD Card Delivery
• USPS Says EAD Was Delivered but Not Received
• Lost EAD by USPS
• EAD and USPS Issues
• Green Card Not Delivered by USPS
• USPS Showed My Green Card Was Delivered but Not Received
• Green Card Delivery Issue
• USPS Deliveries Marked Delivered but Not Received
• Delivery of Green Card

These cases expose a reckless pattern: USPS falsely logs deliveries, leaving recipients scrambling. Worse, USPS offers no accountability—refusing official documentation of errors, forcing people to wait, reapply, or hope for miracles at local offices. This is not a minor glitch; it’s a crisis demanding immediate reform.

Solutions:

• Specialized Handling: Establish a dedicated protocol for federal documents with enhanced tracking and priority delivery.
• Accountability: Mandate USPS to provide signed, official error reports on letterhead for recipients to use with USCIS.
• Oversight: Crack down on fake “Delivered” statuses tied to performance quotas.

The USPS must stop gambling with people’s futures. I urge you to investigate and enact these changes now—before more lives are derailed.

Sincerely,
[Your Full Name]
