We use usps (with my mail in argentina) all the time and it's great, make sure you do not send the regular, send the fast one with track and trace and insurance if there is something with value that way if they lose it at Nicaragua your fiance can start a claim and they give you the money declare back. If there are no more than papers then use only track and confirm. Everything it's going to be perfect and congrats for your NOA2!!!!!

I have sent through the USPS 4 times to Peru... Only 2 times did the package or letter arrive. It is not reliable to Peru. I asked for delivery confirmation and the post office told me they can not do it. I am worried if I need to send something to my wife for the visa application. Maybe Fed Ex is better, but I don't know what they charge? 200 dollars???? really?

Married...... 1-20-12

Sent I-130... 1-30-12

NOA1........ 2-1-12

Hi Cryspy, those times when the package didnt arrive, did you send the simple international letter or the track and confirm with insurance? I think that USPS track and confirm with insurance is far cheaper than Fed Ex and with insurance there's always the chance to start a claim. Although if you want to be sure I would use either Fed Ex or DHL. The national mail in Peru might not be reliable and that's why your letters or packages are not arriving.

I used DHL to send the paper work for the first package and it arrived perfectly in 3 days, and the fee for 1 kilo was 100 dollars, if Fed Ex is 200 and DHL is available for you, you can always use it.

I checked the price at fed ex/dhl/ups for sending a box internationally (12x12x8?) and the price was at least $215...

I do believe that the price for sending a thin folder (only containing a few documents) is more around the $90-100 range! Good Luck!

Was I wrong to have my husband sign all the forms he would possibly need to sign when I was out there on my last trip (February)??

Chastitiynjoel - I was also with my fiance in February, but personally thought it was better to make sure everything would be up to date considering I knew the interview wouldnt be scheduled until at least May!

But, Im wondering...Youre the Petitioner, correct? So which forms are you talking about that you had him sign? Youll be sending up to date proof of relationshp closer to the interview date, right? From what Ive read about DR on VJ, its not the easiest to get through...so I would definitely suggest everything be current!

I dunno your case, but I didn't have any problems at all when my fiance sent me anything with USPS, he used the Express mail, not the regular, since it can't be tracked... and the last time he sent me something it just surprised me it arrived on a Saturday, when he sent it a Thursday (yes, same week!) So I must say I trust USPS service and Peruvian Service

11-04-2012: NOA1 AOS, EAD, AP

11-06-2012: Biometrics App Letter
