Directly mailing documents to the US Embassy in Manila

[emjay129 0]

Hi,

 

My senior parents qualify for the Visa interview waiver. All the documents have already been prepared by me and are ready to go. The last step is to just drop off the required documents at an LBC or To Go location.

 

My mother, who has Borderline Personality Disorder that has resulted in paranoia, does not trust LBC/To Go to handle her documents; she is fearful that these couriers will lose her documents. She is asking if she can bypass the process and mail her documents directly to the US Embassy in Manila instead. I know this is such a weird question - but she wanted to hear answers from other people.

 

I also know that her disorder is not relevant to my question, but just in case you're wondering why anyone will ever try to bypass a process that the US Embassy put themselves.. well, there's your answer.

I've got crazy Asian parents.  They don't listen.  

 

Your mother can not bypass the process.  She is not special.  She has to do what everyone has to do if she wants the visa.  The US does not owe her a visa.  If she wants it, then she needs to finish the last step required by the US Government.

If the visa is granted the passport with visa in it is returned by LBC anyways.   No way you get out of dealing with them, but they are mostly reliable.  The LBC office at MOA is said to be the most "direct" route to and from US Embassy Manila.   IE, the fastest, fewest hops and least amount of handling by LBC.
