Best way to mail paperwork to the embassy in Cairo

[My wife my hope 7]

We were told to mail a notarized letter from my petitioner in the states to the US embassy in Cairo before the interview. We want to this letter to reach the Immigrant visa unit in the embassy in Cairo ASAP. 

What's the best way to mail that to them ? And what's their exact address ?

fedEx or UPS...

 

And a 2 sec. google from the embassies webpage.

I suppose that it could be aramex as they do have such agreement or something with embassy and also when I've submitted my documents " packet 3 " I did it with aramex as they do have dedicated section/employees for the American embassy in Cairo.

so you can check with them first...best of luck

Thanks 

can you please advise if should add any details to their regular adress at Garden city ? Ex: consular section and/or Immigrant visa unit ? Just tell me exactly the address you wrote

Mail it to the address above and make sure you send it with a copy of the letter of request for this notarized document. I would write under US Embassy of Cairo, Attn: Immigrant Visa Section. I also would have a copy of the document you had notarized with you to have at the interview just in case. (Always better to have extra copies of all important documents.. better to safe than sorry.)

Excuse me if I'm wrong, but isn't the document he's needing to send to the US Embassy Cairo coming from the US and not Egypt? So this would not apply to him if so... ??? I agree it would still all in all be best to ship through Aramex regardless of whether it's being shipped from the US or Egy.

Yeah you do have a point here but I assumed that he already got the letter and if I'm not mistaken I guess that Aramex located in the us also so it's easily could be sent from aramex us to aramex Egypt then forwarded to the embassy tho.

True, true.

No.  From a previous experience with Aramex.  Never deal with Aramex for international dealings.  It's horrible.  I did it before and they drove me insane then when I read the reviews on their page.  The rating is so low.  If I knew that I wouldn't have dealt with them.  So if your spouse is going to mail it from the US . The best ways are UPS.  FEDEX and DHL.
