What is the best/fastest way for my wife to mail me the visa forms, etc. from Bislig, Philippines to the United States; and what are the associated shipping times.

Also, what is the best way to mail/ship to Bislig, Philippines from the US--for me sending her mail ans items.

Thanks Much!

best and fastest way is always the private courier like fed-ex, ups, dhl... especially if you're mailing important docs to phil, its a bit pricy but its almost 99% assurance that it will arrive there on time and safely (no hocus focus) ... as for your wife mailing the docs to you, post office is ok but could be 7-14 days roughly or more to get to you... if its a private courier then just 3-4 days the most... good luck!!!

She can send it using LBC its popular courier in the philippines and that was what I used to send my docs to the US. LBC will take care of it and will be dilvered to you by a known courier in your state like UPS if there is no LBC there. There are states that have LBC but the state where I sent mine has no LBC so when my mail got there, it was delivered by UPS. It will get there 3 days 5 is the longest. Mine was received in 3 days. I paid a thousand plus pesos to send my docs.

Eto na lang mas presentable. Hehehe.

for fast delivery times with insurance id recommend UPS, although expensive.. we also have fedex which is a bit cheaper.. but if the doc is not super important id use post office.. :P its cheaper, but takes a month to get there..

Prior to my Sweet Wife arriving to the USA when she sent me important documents she used FEDEX and it took 3 or 4 days each time but is expensive but can be tracked and U will be sure to receive. The post office is too slow and risky for loss
