Base on experience, If the consul will refuse to accept your letter requesting for visa pick up..Try to ask the lady/guy at window37/38(releasing window)..Pinktulips tried that and for a couple of minutes waiting, The consul who refused at first finally granted her request! She got her visa after 2-3 days!Good luck guys!!!

From everything I have heard, they are much more likely to approve visa pickup if the US citizen accompanies his fiancee to the interview. In fact, I have not heard of one instance when the USC was with the fiancee and the CO refused a request to pickup the visa. Correct me if I am wrong.

Yes you are wrong. While most of the time they will approve the request if the USC fiance is there, I know at least one couple who had their request for pick-up denied.

I'm going to my girl's interview on March 13 and I'm going to take the risk and have return tickets for March 22. I have to go back to work then no matter what. If I have to change her flight it will cost $200. The flight is Northwest flight 72, which many of you have probably been on.

You could take a politely worded letter requesting VISA pick-up at the embassy. Explain that you traveled there to help her with the move and she will be returning to the US with you, assuming the VISA is issued, on March 22. Present this letter to the CO at interview.

I was so nervous at the interview that I forgot to give my written request to the CO. We presented it at the window and (after a short argument with the guy at the window) they took it back to the CO. I could see the CO smile and laugh when he read it, and then give his permission to the window guy.
