Couple questions re: interview and sending docs

[Don and Grace 1]

Ok about ready to send her to pay for the interview fee. Is that fee in prevailing exchange rates. Right now 350 in exchange rate would be almost 16000.00 peso. When my friend paid his he paid 18500.00 so im a little worried about it. Other thing is i need to send the packet of paperwork off to her as well and unsure of what to use to send. There isn't a fedex office where she lives and its very costly. I got quoted almost 150usd. There is an LBC office here though. When she sent her paperwork to me she sent it via LBC and DHL was the ones to drop it off at my door. It took about 5 or 6 days to arrive here. Wont be another chance to send the paperwork to her as it has all the originals of everything in it so i want to make sure its safe getting there.

yes it would be at the prevailing exchange rate. better to just send the $ amount to the wife if she has a dollar account over there...or via western union. you can send docs via LBC and they will deliver it to her. LBC uses DHL as the courier service for packages sent to the US.

I sent my documents over today through LBC, actually they won't go out until Tuesday but 1.5lbs was $14.50 to ship. Fedex wanted $103.40 for the same package. My documents should get there around the 23rd to the 25th since I was late getting there today. Fedex would have gotten there on the 16th or 17th.

Definately use LBC to send documents or even instant money which she can pick up in the LBC office in as little as 1 hr. Western Union is a ripp off they charge $12 fee. Also i heard of Xzoom to send money but never tried that.

tried xoom once cause had a code which allowed me to send it free. There normal rate is only 7.99 to send which is better than Western union. Just slightly less than money gram. Guess i will call LBC, 150usd to send seems excessive to send via fedex.

As I told Jimmyzr1 a couple days ago, and looks like he used them, LBC is fast and very reasonable. $15 for up to 2 pounds in a "Speed Pouch", and my documents got there in about a week. So if youre close to a LBC, will save you a lot. It is only available in California & New Jersey though for the Air Speed Pouch...per LBC website. Couldnt tell from your profile where you are, so just wanted to let you know about that.
