    You can use the USPS Express Mail Padded envelope - you might have to order one online - or there is a flat rate medium or large box that paper will lay flat in.    In any case you get tracking and it is  2 or 3 days.    
     
    And make sure you have a copy of everything you send.

    Here is what i did for to get some Financial proof for my wife:
     
    Credit Cards -  Capital One will allow for a spouse without a SSN  - you just use 000 00 0001 if you do it online.  If you call in you might have to hang up and try again to find someone that can do it.   I added her to that account and opened another Capital One with my as primary and her as an authorized user.
    Banks -  My Chase Banker would only add if she had an ITIN and provided me with a letter stating so.  BBVA Compass added her without a SSN.   My Credit Union wanted a copy of her ID with and address.   I gave them a copy of her Postal-ID.
    ITIN - We obtained a Certified an True copy of her passport at the Consulate in Hong Kong and filed that with the ITIN and the letter from Chase.  Had a number back in about 6 weeks.  I am not sure where to get that certified copy  in the Philippines.  After I got the ITIN I was able to add her to the Chase account and Chase Credit Cards.
     
    I did put her on as a beneficiary of my life insurance and added her to the title of an old car.   I also added her name to my cable, power, water and HOA bill.  We also setup a Google Project FI phone in her name.
     
    Hope this helps!

    Try Google flights to get an idea.   Also consider other flight options.   It was $1400 for my wife to go from Manila to Tijuana a week out.   But it was $150 Manila to Hong Kong and then $ 500 from Hong Kong to Tijuana.

    The chat logs are nice but you need the face to face time with lots of photos and proof of trips to see each other.

    My wife got her Filipino Drivers License this past April and then we went to get the International Driving Permit (IDP) at the Philippine Auto Association before we left.  We are currently living in Mexico (I'm also a permanent resident there and I was able to add her to the car insurance for 1 year.  By the time that expires we should have immigrated to the US and if it there is still time on IDP she can drive there for the balance of the year.   
     
    If we don't have our interview prior to December we will be going back to the Philippines for Christmas and she can renew her IDP for another year.
