Hi Everyone!!

Hoping I can get an answer here. Per Dept of State's Jamaica site on non immigrant visas it states

Approved nonimmigrant visas will be delivered directly to applicants through a professional courier service, DHL. At the time applicants are approved for an NIV, they will immediately proceed to the DHL counter. Each visa recipient will pay a fee and will arrange all delivery details with company representatives. DHL will deliver the passport with visa affixed approximately four (4) business days after the date of the Embassy interview.

I AM WONDERING IF ITS POSSIBLE FOR MY FIANCE' TO GO BACK THERE AND ACTUALLY PICK IT UP HIMSELF INSTEAD OF DHL DELIVERING IT?

Thanks in advance!

The visa will be released to DHL only, he can pick up from DHL or wait until they delivery it. DHL will inform him when they have received the visa. There is no pick-up from the embassy.

Your interview date probably won't be until late July or early August. Also the 4 days after approval is not guaranteed, so don't book any air flight until he has the visa physically in his hand.
