postal letters
hi everyone
was chatting to my fiancee today on yahoo messenger and in the conversation she asks me why i only send 3 letters through the post and she sends so many ?
i've posted more than 10 and only 3 got through
i have 7 from her
the embassy must be aware of how bad the postal system is in phils
is that enough letters, as i travel soon to apply for visa
how many letters did you guys n gals submit for a sucessful visa ??
many thanks
martin
if you are going to send a letter to someone living in the philippines, better send it thru a courier service (dhl, lbc, fedex, etc). it sure will reach its recipient.
the postal system here is not reliable esp if you have slip something valuable between those pages.
I sent the odd card mostly in with other paperwork with fedex.
Many people dont send in any letters from what i read as how many do you send in the UK nowdays?
not not sure we have enough letters
we have 20+ emails
and months of yahoo transcripts and yahoo call history
but how much evidence does ECO want to prove you have remained in contact whilst seperated ?
as i remember it was only two letters i sent during my application.
Goodluck to your application.

thanks ann
i fly friday 8th june so really last time to post last few letters hope some more get through !!

martin
i never send any post mails to the embassy, although i have few mails from him
So whatever how many mails you have had now, not a problem
Goodluck to you both!!

well if it shows your in contact whenever you both possibly can no need to worry.Originally Posted by 5olidsnake
Some people can talk every day all day others cant for one reason or another.
You just send some example emails and show the logs of your yahho chats. Also any phone bill records as well if you have them.
No need to send any letters nowdays as its so easy to send emails and the embassy must realise how much it costs and how likely they are to go missing or get delayed.
Evidence of letters was more pre email days i guess, although it is still nice to send and recieve cards, letters and parcels many relationships on here seem to have just shown e mail, yahoo/msn logs and telephone records if they exist.
don't worry your be fine
thanks you have made me happy
the best thing about the letters and cards is that she has sprayed them with her perfume and its nice to smell her and dream of the last time in march we were together and the future.
5 weeks seems such a longtime, best go in my document box and have a smell

hi 5olidsnake we're really happy for both of you... i hope everything goes well with your application. Please keep us posted. Im going to apply probably next month so a little bit of info from you will be of great help (especially with the requirements you submitted). Thanks!
by the way what's your fiancee's name and where she from?
Send through Royal Mail - International Postage and they'll arrive ok. Just ask at post office counter when you send it.
only one of a few thnigs i sent to my wife was a box, with a ring, mobile, books, etc it was the size of 2 shoe boxes, and i used the royal mail, it only took more than 3 months to get there
once my wife sent a letter to me, it had birth cert in it, i waited for weeks for it, it never arrived, about 2 months after posting it, my wife phoned me to say it had been returned to her
so she sent the letter back, poor letter done 20,000 miles
funny my wife sent me must be 30+ letters i got them all, and only took about a week to get to me..
I need to send important docs to my Fiance.
THey have got to arrive fast - any suggestions??

dhl, fed ex, but there all dear, cost me like £80 to send about 70 sheets of a4 documents, but they del in about 48 hrs. and when my stepson posted the documents off to the embassy, he got a call from a pen pusher, saying they wanted my current bank statements and payslips !! seeing i didnt have them when i posted the documents to him, it would have been impossible, he was told to bring them when he went for the interview, well i wasn't going to pay dhl again, so i scanned them in, and emailed them to him, iam sure if the documents are from the uk, then a photocopy will do, he took them, and they accepted them.
hi phillip
sent all my letters with royal mail (airmail) to tanza

Airmail is just the same as standard here, that's why it's best to use a service where a signature is required upon arrival.hi phillip

International Signed For is the one to go for... I had no problems when I sent via that service.
Have sent some docs via International Signed for..........the guy at the post office said that it should take a bout a week.
That was almost 2 weeks ago..............
It leaves the UK the next day... after that, who knows.Have sent some docs via International Signed for..........the guy at the post office said that it should take a bout a week.

anythnig important get a courier to take it,,,
as i've said before my wife sent me a letter with my daughters birth cert in it, but my wife got one of the digits wrong in me house number, she put a 1 instead of a 7, and even thou the rest of the address was correct, and the post code was, and there are only 2 people in the uk with my surname. they sent it back to my wife in the philippines, and wrote on the envelope 'address unknown'
and we both were wondering where the letter was for months..

I just took a packet from an office that a courier had left... addressed to the other side of the city.
my surname should be good enough !
oh even my post code
oh,. maybe with a bit of thinking
how many houses does a post code cover , 5 ??? so from the post code and my name on the envelope,, they couldnt get it down to one house , who have they got in the sorting office
oh i better
funny how bills never get lost, poll tax, etc...
It could have been someone unfamiliar to your area or the route. If not, then grab em and punch em!my surname should be good enough !

Does anyone know how long it takes for a letter to arrive from Philippines? My fiance has sent me a letter and it hasnt arrived yet
50/50 chance of it arriving at all, otherwise it can take 3 months in some cases.
Always use a courier when posting anything important.

Just to let you know my letter was hand delivered about 7pm tonight. Hannah had used a courier of some kind it must have been expensive but it seems a good way to ensure letters reach their destination!

was 2700 peso per letter to uk
