TPS Late Initial Filing: 60-day deadline fell on a Saturday (4/18). If I mail via UPS on Monday (4/20) and it arrives Tuesday, is it considered late? Hi everyone, I have a specific timing question regarding a TPS Ethiopia late initial filing. My SEVIS was terminated on February 17, 2026 The 60-Day Deadline: This fell on Saturday, April 18, 2026 I have a UPS label that was created and dated Saturday, April 18 Because it’s a weekend and there are no pickups in my area, I am dropping the package at a UPS Store first thing Monday morning, April 20. It is being sent Next Day Air to the Chicago Lockbox and will arrive on Tuesday, April 21 My Questions: 1. Since the 60th day fell on a Saturday, does 8 CFR 1.1(h) automatically extend my filing deadline to the next business day (Monday, April 20)? 2. Will USCIS reject the application as "late" because it physically arrives at the Lockbox on Tuesday (the 21st), or do they honor the **Monday drop-off/scan** as the filing date under the weekend rule? 3. Does the fact that my UPS label is dated April 18 (the actual deadline) help prove timely intent? I want to make sure I don't need to include a "Late Filing" explanation if this technically counts as being on time due to the weekend. Any insights or similar experiences with the Chicago Lockbox would be greatly appreciated!
