I am at a stand still at this point because my SO is from Nigeria, and he needs to send me the original signed documents for a K1 visa. Has anyone used a reliable service and at what cost? ALSO.....do any of the forms need to be notarized by him before sending the petition off. I've heard both yes and no. Pease help....we've been waiting almost two years.. :crying:

These original signed documents are coming from Benin City, Nigeria, and the cheapest quote he got was from fedex and it was $250. Are you sure of that approximate cost originating from Nigeria? thanks

for sure use Fed Ex (or DHL). Read the visa instructions... If they ask for notarized docs., then send them, he can get them certified at the police station

WOW...are you sure??? I imagine that he needs to send me the original signed letter of intent along with just a signed signature of the others??? I would be so happy, but now onto the cost of the postal services. thanks

250 is about right close to what I paid to use DHL for Lagos. DHL is much more popular in Nigeria and has their own customs clearing people.

my SO sent me the forms I needed via EMS in Nigeria... It cost like 50 bucks and they are reliable... He got a tracking number.. Once it gets to the state you can track it via USPS.com and it will be delivered by the post office. I got it within the time frame they told him. I know of several other's SO's used EMS with no problems...Hope this helps...

oh, also nothing he sent me needed notorized...

My SO says $250 because he went to the PO today. Sylvia n Joseph said that that is about right. Why is there such a big difference?

I guess it's just the carrier.. Have him check with EMS if its just the forms he is sending...My SO just sent me his in January and it was just 50 dollars... Its located in the same building as the Nigerian post office from my understanding.. But its not like the regular post office there, thank goodness.. you'd never see it then... lol...

I will have him check it out. Maybe he didn't know that EMS was a different service located in the same building. I am really hoping though. Thanks sooo much.

My SO just checked out the Benin City post office and he insists that Fed Ex is the cheapest way to go. The EMS service was even higher. Are you sure that he mailed it from Benin City? He can not find that price anywhere! I'm so confused. Lois
