If you are NOT in hurry, then its fine!
Else, send your package rightaway. You can mark 'No Saturday/Sunday delivery' on the USPS label.
Check with USPS people on that.
This way, it will be delivered there on Monday atleast.

My passport reached LA office on 17th. Still waiting. And the status in CIC account is "open". I heard once they sent your passport back the status would become "closed".

klaustacy, any change in your CIC status?

HoneyBadger, any updates?

My passports too reached the NY consulate on 20th.
I made a mistake of not storing the USPS tracking IDs of the RETURN ENVELOPES.
Any clues, how can that be tracked? Does the consulate reply after sending back the PPs?

I have yet to receive my passport from LA consulate. As far as tracking confirmation goes i am not sure I can provide you with any affirmative information but I would suggested you to check with USPS where you had sent your mail from. They can be your best resource.
As for me, I am just waiting for my passport to return. My return tracking info has not been updated, so i am assuming they have not yet mailed it back.

Does someone know how long will it take to get the passport once the status becomes closed in online application?
My online application status updated to be CLOSED on 22/Jan, but still return tracking is not yet activated.
We have travel on feb 2 and not sure if we receive or not...

Is your status closed in online application?

I had included -
1. Passports
2. Request letter from Consulate(we get this from the online account) for each applicant.
3. USPS express Prepaid return envelopes for each applicant.

I made a mistake of not copying the USPS tracking IDs from the return envelopes. So not sure how I'd track them.
I'm not sure if Consulate sends any update after they send back the PPs.

Thanks PizaVisa. Are you sure it is 2 return envelopes (1 for each applicant)? Where did you read this?

I don't think its really necessary.
But My colleague had done the same, n received his PPs properly.
I just followed him

(My PPs are still not back, though!!! )

Congrats PizaVisa! I just logged in and saw the status became "closed", and the decision says "approved." I suppose they already processed it and should mail it back to me today! I'll let you know once my usps tacking activated!

klaustacy, any change in your CIC status?

 

[yesraj]

My status changed to closed on 01/22. Does it mean its on the way return?
USPS is not activated though.
