Approved and Anxious

PLEASE only respond if you have specific Costa Rica experience with my question. We were approved by USCIS on July 29 and then by NVC on August 10th and informed that our file has been forwarded to the US Consulate in San Jose,CR. Further instruction from NVC says that we should now wait for contact from the embassy. Rumor has it and the Consulate website SEEMS to imply that, because of Costa Ricas' unreliable mail service, that applicants need to pick up their packet at the embassy. Can anyone confirm or deny this. Things are happening very quickly and winter in Wisconsin is approaching. Best of luck to all on your journies.

Update: I am answering my own question here. I sent her copies of both the approval from USCIS and the approval from US State Department-NVC. I then instructed her to call the embassy and inquire. They already had the file and told her to come in this coming tuesday to receive her packet.
