When do you receive the Visa?

My fiance and her daughter passed the interview today in Moscow. They told her that they would send the visas in one or two weeks. Is this just what they tell everyone? I thought they send the visas by DHL within one or two days and she should receive it in around four or five days. I hope I don't have to wait longer than necessary, but at least we are through this hurdle. Thanks for any info. Have a great day.

Ours only took a few days. We had it held in Moscow at DHL so we could pick it up on our way back to the US. Interview was on a Friday and visa was ready for pick up on Tuesday.

In terms of what they say, my wife was told she would receive the visa in a few days and it was available for pick up in two days, although we got it on the third day.

Elena's was sent all the way to Vladivostok, and arrived appx. 5 business days later. (She did get it a day late though because DHL didn't leave it at her house while she wasn't there, and wouldn't bring it back until the next day.)

Thanks for the info. I was hoping it would only be a few days before she received it.

Have a great week.

For those of you who picked up the visa at the office in Moscow, which DHL office did you pick it up in? Thanks!

We used Tverskya-Yamskaya St DHL office because that is where my fiance went to get the DHL bill to be turned in to the embassy. There is another DHL office very close to the embassy just a few buildings up Novinsky Blvd that I think many people use too.

PEOPLE: READ THE APPLICATION FORM INSTRUCTIONS!!!! They have a lot of good information in them! Most of the questions I see on VJ are clearly addressed by the form instructions. Give them a read!! If you are unable to understand the form instructions, I highly recommend hiring someone who does to help you with the process. Our process, from K-1 to Citizenship and U.S. Passport is completed. Good luck with your process.
