This might be a subject to discuss with the Macau customs people. Just my opinion, but these are the only people who can truly answer your question(s). My gal was an OFW in HK and had to wait about 5 days, if my memory serves me correctly, to get her passport back with the Visa in it.

1. Email the IV Unit in HKG, ask specifically when they will be sending out your visa packet to Macau and

2. check ceac.state.gov for visa status - when it flips to ISSUED on status - expect another week before it leaves the IV Unit .

What arrangements did you make at the IV Unit on Interview Day to have the visa packet shipped to you?

apologies, after rereading your post, I understand you've not had the interview yet.

When you are at the interview, tell the Vice-Consul, USCitizen worker, that you need to stay in Hong Kong and wait for the visa packet, and you need to make arrangements, get a slip, to enter the IV Unit again to retrieve the visa packet, and could you please process the visa packet immediately, expedite, for same day pickup?
