Single or double sided

[Brian121957 43]

When you do send documents, has any body else sent double sided pages (printed front and back) to reduce shipping weight?

This is a general type question. And I want to keep it separate form questions about what is the best way to send documents.

I dunno from US to Manila but when I sent documents to my fiance, it wasn't weigh at LBC. They already have set amount.

If you want, scan and email the ones that needs to be original to your fiancee via FedEx, DHL or Air21.

Single sided only, because of the way they file the petitions in their folders.

Am I making any sense? scan and email those part that can be photocopied and ship the ones that needs to be original.

I send some documents early when I did not have to send them express service. Things like full chat logs. If printed single sided it would have been over 400 pages. I printed them 1/2 size and double sided. That put 4 on one sheet of paper. Still over 100 pages. When I compared the cost for me to print and ship -vs- email and have her print at a café. It was cheaper for me to print because I could do the double sided printing.

When it came to the last few items that need quick delivery (and / or) original signed documents I used a shipper. But most things were sent email or as a shared document in gmail then have her print them.

The CO never asked for the chat logs so I do not know what they would have done with them.

But as I said at the top, I did not mean to cover the best way to ship / send. But was there any experience with double sided vs single sided documents.

Don't do that. Keep it simple for the adjucator, 'lest they ignore a backside and issue an RFE for lack of document.

The government is not about keeping costs low......they operate with free money. (Yours and Mine)

What I noticed with the interviewers in Manila (there were 2, Filipino and American consul) they flip through pages and don't look at the back page of a document. They will look if something caught their eyes.

Double sided document is tacky. Besides if it's colored, the ink goes through the other side of the pages at times. Then that means you need a thicker paper. Still another add to the weight.

There's 3/42 respondents that were asked about the screenshot. screenshots and ongoing relationship proof during interview . One of them was kinda picked on, you can't tell so just get it ready.

You don't have to send everything, maybe just 1 of each month.
