can we pick up the visa rigth after the interview??? anybody pick their visa???

Yes you can pick up the visa BUT NOT right after the interview. You have to wait a few days for the visa before you can go to USEM to pick 'em up.

Better chance of you guys/your fiancee passing the interview and also being able to pick up the visa if you attend the interview.

NO guarentees for either tho.

Case by case basis.

So USC has to be there for pickup? (i am going to interview) Just curious though. Also how do you know when its ready for pickup?

It depends in the consul if they will let you pick up the visa or delivered by air21, my husband is not with me when i done my interview last friday. The embassy will call you if it's ready to pick up.

Well our Consul said sure no problem and wrote on a purple card, then told us to go to another window for instructions to pick up. There we filled out the card with our phone numbers and the man told us to wait for our call to come pick up. I asked him if he knew roughly when it would be ready and he said he didnt know. I said it should be faster to pick up then have delivered Air21 and he agreed. This was last thursday, now its tuesday and no phone call yet im getting a little concerned because we are flying out on thursday. ( I know i shouldnt buy her ticket till visa in hand but the flights are quicky getting sold out and I really dont want to leave her here to fly by herself) However we will go back to embassy to see if maybe its ready for us, I just hope tey let us in.

They will let you guys in, as long as you have your blue passport and her case number, then it will be no sweat. My dad did the same thing, they said you can pick up the visa at the embassy the next day but they'll call him on what time it will be ready, but I told my dad to just go to the embassy than wait for the call. Sure he did, and his visa was not ready yet, but since he has to leave that night ( he showed his ticket and his visa will expire the next day) then they were forced to have the visa printed and was ready by 12 noon.. :) Had his cfo at 1 pm and had his flight at 10:30 pm via PAL..

Goodluck!! :)
