Just slipped her mind, eh? I can understand this. Most of our fiance's have far more important things on their minds than their visa. :hehe:

She needs to call the consulate to schedule a new time to pick it up. She'll probably be able to walk in anytime after the time they gave her, but it doesn't hurt to call.

Hopefully she doesn't forget to get on the airplane too.

She finally picked it up. They also gave her a packet that she has to bring with her when she enters the US. Any idea what it is? Thanks.

It's the famous brown envelope. Just do not open it, make sure she has it in her carry on and not her checked in luggage. She needs to hand it over to the POE officer. Usually they cut on of the corner to reveal what's inside - documents.

Good luck
