USPS Employee

[phoneperson]

Hello! I work for the US Postal Service and am applying for OCI. Does that count as Government Service or Private? Not sure what to put. The Department of Labor counts it as Private but its a Government agency. Any USPS employees out there know what to put? Thanks!

USPS is a public service operated by the Federal Government. The board is appointed by the President. So, IMO, it is a Govt Agency.

Anyway, don't think too much. They don't look at those details. If you think saying Govt Service might delay your OCI, then just select private. It is not like they ask for any proof of employment. I just put in self-employed when I applied as I was between jobs at that time.
