Khurram, doesnt the regualr postman deliver that packet, becasue I remember I was in Pak and my wife got it by regular mail.

Have they changed it now? My wife had received in Jan 07.

When I migrated 7 years ago they were using Fedex and my wife just got her packet through AMEX. Maybe they used reg mail somewhere in between

I migrated in 2000 and they used Fedex

My brother migrated in 2003 and they used AMEX

My wife applied for Visit through AMEX in 2005

and now in april 2007 my wife got her packet through AMEX

I don't think they used reg mail unless they use it for smaller villages and such
