• requirement that OSC be delivered to “responsible person” at alien’s address does not extend to notices of hearing
• higher standard for showing alien’s receipt of initial charging documents in deportation proceedings was justified, because aliens lack notice that they will receive initial documents at a particular address, unlike later-sent notices
• service of an Order to Show Cause sent by certified mail is effective when the return receipt is signed by the alien or a responsible person at the alien’s address (emphasis added)
• higher standard for showing alien’s receipt of initial charging documents in deportation proceedings was justified, because aliens lack notice that they will receive initial documents at a particular address, unlike later-sent notices
