How to send documents to Costa Rica?

[gelali 1]

We are preparing to start our K1 process and I am curious about what currier service did you guys use to send documents to Costa Rica for the interview. Any advice regarding sending my information and the k1 packet to my fiance would be helpful, thanks.

I've used DHL often to send documents and equipment to Costa Rica.  I've used Fedex too but they seem to cost more and be slower.

Thank you so much! If you don’t mind me asking, have you had any issues with DHL? I am a bit nervous just because of the sensitive information those documents have.

Everything from the petitioner can be scanned and emailed UNLESS specifically outlined in the instructions that they require original document(s) from the petitioner. You shouldn't need to send the beneficiary anything.

Okay.. even the affidavit paperwork can be scanned and sent to my fiancé in Costa Rica? I always just read that my fiancé should also have a copy of the k1 packet.

A scan and local printing is the same as a copy

The K-1 packet which I think you are referring to the I-129f and supporting documentation is not needed for the interview. The AOS (I-134) can be scanned and emailed also.

Got it. So my signatures don’t need to be wet? However, does her signatures need to be wet when I send in the I-129f?

A careful read of the form instructions will indicate that all evidence submitted to the uscis is legible photocopies unless an original is specifically requested.   The only wet signature required is yours on the i129f itself.
