I just have a simple question. My wife and I just sent our Report of Marriage to the embassy of the philippines in Washington, DC. We were a bit in a hurry when sending it at the post office; we sent it Certified mail and had our prestamped, self-addressed return envelope regular mail. It says in the instructions to have the return envelope as express mail. Should we be concerned ? or is regular mail ok ?

Have you called or tried to email the Embassy? Maybe the reason for "express mail" was for tracking.

I would try calling or emailing them.

No, we didn't called the embassy. what we did, we sent again an express mail w/ a prestamped self returned address envelope on it express mail too, enclosed w/ a letter stated that when they mail us the report of marriage kindly disregard the other envelope that originally sent and used this envelope(prestamped self returned address envelope)express mail. I think, sounds more secured and we can track the no. whenever they send the mail. hopefully, they would do it :-)

I would follow up with a call in addition to what you've done, if you can get through to a live body.

I just have little faith that a government employee would go the extra effort to read your note contained

in your follow up mail to them, locate your first file, stuff your "report of marriage" in the new envelope

and mail it back to you, all based on the instruction you've included.

But, all you can do is take a shot at it. Good luck.
