Its sad that "physical letter in an envelope with legal protections that gets left in the mailbox in front of my house" is the best security that the average person has access to.
Hosting my own email is way more secure than that but most people just use some large corporation. I'd also be happy with GPG but no one has bothered to make that easy enough to use other than Proton Mail.
In that portal they then state that document XYZ has been mailed to you and if you did not receive if by ABC date then request another copy be mailed to you. You need that physical document to do anything. You cannot download it from the portal because it isn't in the portal.
I like it this way for the added security. Someone gaining access to my email can't see anything related to my immigration status. Two factor authentication is also required for the portal login.
