How to confirm if agency received my documents? Anxious and need help!

Hey everyone, I'm trying to confirm if my documents were received by the agency. Has anyone else had trouble with this? It's been a few days and I haven't heard anything back. I'm getting a bit anxious about it. Any tips on how to check or speed up the process?

Ugh, I feel you. I've been in the same boat. It's so frustrating when you don't know if they got your stuff or not. Have you tried calling them? That's what I ended up doing after waiting for like a week.

I tried calling but kept getting stuck on hold forever. Did you actually manage to get through to someone?

Yeah, it took forever tho. I was on hold for like 2 hours before I finally got someone. But at least they confirmed they had my docs.

2 hours? You got lucky! I've been trying for days and can't even get in the queue 😭

Pro tip: I found a way to actually get someone on the phone. I used this site's (claimyr.com) calling tool that dials the phone menu, stays on hold, waits for a live agent to pick up, then sends the call to my phone. It does cost $20, but it works.

Sounds too good to be true. Has anyone else tried this?

I know it sounds sketchy, but I swear it worked for me. Saved me hours of frustration.

I'm skeptical. How do we know this isn't just some scam?

Not a scam, I promise! It's a legit service. They just do the waiting for you. Totally worth the $20 imo.

Have you checked your online account? Sometimes they update the status there before sending any notifications.

A MONTH?! That's insane. Have you tried reaching out to your local representative? Sometimes they can help speed things up.

Here's what I've learned from my experience dealing with document confirmation: 1. Always keep copies of everything you send. 2. Use certified mail if sending physical documents. 3. Follow up via phone or email after 5-7 business days. 4. Check your online account daily for updates. 5. If possible, submit documents electronically for faster processing. 6. Keep a log of all your interactions (dates, times, who you spoke to). 7. Be persistent but polite when following up. Hope this helps! It's a frustrating process, but stay on top of it and you'll get there.

ain't that the truth 😂 feels like we're all stuck in some kind of twisted waiting room game

Has anyone tried faxing their documents? I heard from a friend that sometimes it's faster than mailing or uploading online.

Faxing? What year is it, 1995? 🤣

I know, right? But apparently some govt offices still prefer it. Go figure 🤷‍♀️
