I poasted this somewhere else.. just in case you guys missed it.

This it the instructions I followed to get my pick up visa approved:

This is in reply to your inquiry of December 19, 2007, regarding the visa concerns of your constituent, Timothy Younger.

As you are aware, the applicant is scheduled for a visa interview on February 4, 2008. At that time, a consular officer will determine if the applicant is eligible for a visa.

If the applicant is found to be eligible for a visa, the visa packet will be delivered to the applicant's designated address by guaranteed courier service within 7 to 10 working days. We will also consider a request for special handling of visa issuance, pick up and delivery within the constraints of our resources. If the applicant would like to pick up the visa packet at the Embassy, she should submit a written request addressed to the adjudicating consular officer indicating her complete name, case number, current address, and telephone/mobile number(s). Applicants should make no final travel arrangements until they receive the visa packet.

If the applicant would like to inquire further about the status of the visa case, she may contact the Embassy's Visa Call Center at telephone 1-909-101-7878. This number is for subscribers of PLDT and Smart telephone touchtone landlines with national and international distance dialing features (NDD or IDD access). Callers in the USA can contact the Call Center at 1-888-877-9888. The Call Center is open Monday through Friday, from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. (Manila time). There is a fee assessed to callers by the Call Center for its services.

Congrats on the approval.

My quick question to you is for the request to pick up the visa what is the name of the adjudicating consular officer did you use and address? Where is this information found?
