FAX ???that is the question

[Rajuinphilly]

Hi Friends,
Just have a quick question. I would like to fax my pay –stubs and some additional papers (investment paperwork) to my parents as they have their tourist visa interview coming up next week. My question is 1) Will the US consulate accept fax copies my dad presents to him? 2) Will staples and office max here in Philly fax pages for a fee? If so at what price per page and if not can anyone recommend a place or a store to fax international for a reasonable fee? I have approx 10-12 pages to fax to Bombay. Thank you so much guys. I really appreciate it.

Hi,

Fax copies are acceptable by the consulate. In fact, the 'bank account verification letter' that I sent was a faxed copy - coz the bank delayed and sent me the letter very late. The visa officer looked at my documents, did not ask any question related to the 'fax' and issued a 10-yr M entry visa for my parents.

Kinkos can also do international fax. I do not know the price. But, for just 10-20 papers, I don't think it costs any more than what it would cost for an express fedex to ship these papers (may be < $30).

Good luck!!

Another option is to scan the paper and send it to your relatives in India. They can take the printout. Hope printer quality is good. You can also scan papers at Kinkos.

Hi Jaya 06,
Thank you so much for your response. I really appreciate it. Glad to know the consulate accepts Fax documents. The problem was that we in Philly don’t have a Kinko’s at least to my knowledge. We have FedEx here but I am sure they can fax international for me. Anyway thanks.
