Shipping AOS through FedEx and UPS

[Diane&Travis 6]

Hi my Fiance is about to send me his Affidavit of Support. Is it safe to send through USPS? Fedex and UPS is kinda pricey. It will cost him $100 plus just to send the docs. Is it that expensive too?

Im from HK and my company does ship things to Philippines...if by Post office it takes a long time (at least a month or even longer by Airmail) but MUST ship with a tracking!!! But you have to know it is not that safe...if you are not live in the big city...I would suggest better ship by Fedex or UPS.
I hope this help, but it is better for someone who had shipped from US to Philippines  by using USPS to reply you.

I just asked my fiance to print the page 5 and 8 of aos ang signed it (so i can have the wet signature) and asked him to mail by normal mail.. The rest can be sent by email.. Am i missing something...

I use USPS all the time to send things to Africa.  My fiancé lives in a remote area, however we have never experienced any problems.  Once the mail gets to his town, someone from his local post office will call him & tell him to come get his package.  I always use priority mail & pay only $32-34. It takes appx 1 month.   I get a tracking#.  We are able to track the package to every location it goes until it gets to his town.  I don't know much about your country, so I can't give advice on how well the mailing system is.  Yes,  the other methods of shipping will cost more.

My fiance sent his documents via fedex and he paid $170.00. It’s costly but they ship it right away and your documents are safe.

Yea, I told my Fiance if he wants to ship it via usps, then he can ship at his own risk. I agree its takes too long to get mail or packages sent from other countries going here in the PH.

I agree. I might have to convince him to use FedEx or UPS. It's really risky especially that his personal information is in there. Thanks much for your response.

Yes you can receive your approval through email and print in so you can take it to your interview. Just worried about safety of the docs of sent by regular mail, also it might take too long to arrive

I'm glad you guys never experienced any problems with your method of shipping. With the stories from other people I heard, it sounded like a bad idea to ship thru usps, but we will see. Thanks for your reply. I appreciate it

I have found DHL to be cheaper for simple document envelopes and never had any problems.  They will usually pad the delivery estimate by a day or 2 in case of customs delays.

 

You can send 250g of paper for a flat rate. That is quite a few pages.

I thought for the I-134 you don't need a wet signature? So could just scan and e-mail.

I could be wrong, but I believe I have read that here. Manila doesn't require a wet signature.

Country-specific thread is moved further, to the Philippines forum.

If you mean the I-134 for your K1 visa interview in Manila, save your fiance some cash and just have him scan and email the signed form to you.
