My wife is going to pick up her Visa on Friday but The US Embassy in Armenia says that she will be notified when she will be able to go and pick up her passport. Does anyone know how long normally will she have to wait to get her passport? Thanks for any help.

It is a week for Indian Consulates and those are mailed out - can also collect those at the VFC (Consulate agency). She needs to find out the time from US Cinsulate in Armenia before going.

The visa is in the passport, so if she got told to pick up her visa o0n a certain date, that means she will get her passport back that day.

Some Indian Consulates allow to pick up your visa same day I believe.

That is what I thought but that's not what they wrote me. At the same time, I have noticed in previous emails that their english is not the best so now that's why I asked the question.
