Hi everyone. I'm just a newbie in this forum. I need some advice/help from who ever has an answer in my case. We used LBC as our courier when I submitted my AOR, PPR and additional documents. We just learned lately that this courier is not accepting courier collect and that was our biggest mistake because we still used LBC as our return address. We called the embassy so many times for several hours to inform them about our case but unfortunately it just keep on ringing the whole day. We are so worried because Visa Officers might be confused were exactly to send it and this also can waste precious time. Do you think guys Embassy will just ignore LBC and proceed to DHL to send our docs? By the way we already reached the decision made in Ecas last Jan.20, 2012. Thank you and may God bless us all.

It does not follow that the courier you used in sending will be the one used by embassy to send back. The documents will be delivered to the address you gave, by any means available to them. If you call them about your concern, you will just irritate them. They are not babies.

Just send them an email about your concern. Email address is mentioned in the PPR letter sent to you. Just mention your file number for easy reference.
