You can walk into any FedEx office and send them yourself.

Are you a Filipino Citizen? Did you marry in the Philippines? If you answers are YES to both questions... THEN YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO USE THE US DIVORCE PROCESS TO DISSOLVE YOUR PHILIPPINES MARRIAGE. GET AN ANNULMENT IN THE PHILLIPINES IF YOU WANT TO DO IT LEGALLY!!!

Go home (or wherever the marriage was made); file the divorce at home; as soon as that is over, either marry your new love and begin the relevant visa stuff, or have (him?) file the K-1 for you. There's not much you can do until the divorce proceedings are over either way.

You're going home next month anyway. Why has it got to be done in the US?
