I received my transcripts today. I'm a bit concerned sending these things around the globe. This is identity theft one-O-one in a single package.

Am I being unduly paranoid?

Anything sent into Thailand is subject to " inspection " just as it is here.

Why not just fax or email them?

Yes for sure

You'd be surprised what USCIS knows or can know about you!

I'm not worried about USCIS or the US post office. I know from experience mail is not secure in Thailand. I just worry about the wrong person getting all my personal info.

Maybe email is the best option.

You worry about sending them via a postal service where no one knows the contents unless opened, yet you do not think twice about e-mail. E-mail has a much better chance of being intercepted and the information used against you. I would send them via FedEx or some other carrier instead of standard post or fax them before I would e-mail them. I send all information to my then fiancee via FedEx after she sent me everything to look over--it cost us $200 to do this but I would rather my tax transcripts be inside an envelope that a government official opens for inspection verses out on the internet where a copy may float around for years.

YMMV.

Good luck,

Dave
