anybody knows how will uscis/nvc or embassy send packets to our spouse, i mean do they send it thru regular post office, UPS, Fed-Ex, DHL etc...

is it a registered mail.?

any chance it might get lost?

i grew up in the philippines and i believe our mailing system is not that good.

also everytime i send letters from the states to the philippines, most of them got lost.

thank you.

Good luck to us.

God Bless.

You know, I just realized, I've heard of consulates sending out packets via DHL... not NVC, sorry about the mixup.

Seems like regular mail can take a week or two from Manila. I think they put it on a ferry boat (a very slow ferry boat). :help:

I'm not from the phillipines, but I'm pretty sure the NVC sends things out via DHL :)

I think I read on one of the USCIS web sites that this is correct. They send in batches. with the volume in Manila I would imagine they do it at least a couple of times a month. Our petition was in the NVC for about two weeks before it was sent to Manila.

Good luck!

Actually I think the OP question was also about packages from the USE in Manila to spouse/fiance in the Philippines. Those are the ones that might get lost in the mail.

I asked Claudeth and she said she received the packet from the embassy via FedEx

The packet her appointment letter for the interview and all the forms she needed to fill out for the interview along with the form to pay for the interview that she had to take to the Bank of the Philippine islands

They send it through DHL, but be sure to track them once in a while because if the delivery man dont know the exact address, it will take time for them and specially if the packet will be send to the provinces.
