I'm was trying to get my paperwork/prints for the E2 out in the mail to the FBI today. I just assumed I could send it via FedEx and buy a prepaid/return envelope. All of this is to of course expedite the process. When we got to the FedEx office in Ilsan they said they didn't have the envelopes for return mailing. My co-teacher then called DHL and EMS who both said they didn't have prepaid return envelopes from Korea either.

WTF?

I can't remember exactly but I thought I did a prepaid return envelope when I signed for my contract (from and returned to Korea).

I then went to the FedEx site to try and get an account. The FBI form has a space for FedEx account # etc.. When I started that form I saw you have to have a business registration #, regisration date and so on - required fields related to corporations etc.......

Is there a way to round trip this via FedEx/DHL or should I just wait for First class mail to get here?

For the FBI check, and as long as it will take (up to a couple months), does 3 or 4 more days really make a difference (the time spread between 1st class mail and a courier).

Just trying to shave time off where possible but that's what I was kind of referring to in the last line about waiting.

Just send it 1st class and then they return it automatically in one of their envelopes - no need to supply the return envelope then?

Thanks!
