GenSan as in General Santos.

I heard from reliable sources that there are many Muslims down there not friendly to Americans

Back to your question.

If your not subject to DV.

You can ask CO if you can pick up Visa, it up to them. Delbros will probably take the full 7 days to be delivered to that region.

At interview you may or may not be able to go into the little room with your Fiance for actual CO interview.

I think a 3 week time frame should be good, assuming all goes well at interview (most all of them do)

Enjoy your trip.......

If all goes well on the interview you can request for pick up of visa provided you have to inform the CO first during the interview.
