Visa pick up after Blue in GUZ

[M and L 0]

Hello,

We had our interview in Aug and received Blue due to prior CCP affiliation (strictly work related). We knew this may happen. At the interview we turned in her resume and CCP letter of explanation. VO said nothing else is needed just additional processing. SAO I assume.

I hear the process of mailing in your passport to GUZ and getting it back with visa is very slow, like everything else.I'm looking to reduce wait time

Question - Assuming my fiancee gets the approval letter/call in letter in the mail in the next 60 days can she just fly back to GUZ and personally hand in her passport? Airplane/Hotel cost not really an issue Then she can just wait in GUZ and have the passport/visa sent to the post office in GUZ for pick up. Can we/she do this? Where does she turn in her passport and what is needed? What floor?

Will they let her inside and through security with the approval letter to turn in her passport?

Thanks,

M & L

It depends on 'what happens next'.

Many people receive a 'call in letter' via postal mail - basically it says to 'come in' during certain times of certain days of the week, drop off your passport.

---

When the passport is dropped off, she'll need to make arrangements at the EMS desk for 'where to send the visa packet'.

It's exceptionally rare that a visa packet is held for pickup at the IV Unit - she can ask about it when she's there - she may get lucky.

ya, there may not be a call in letter - just pay attention to 'what they want, next'.

if it's a call in letter - great - use what I've written, otherwise pay attention to the next piece o postal mail.

Usually, DoS Hotline will know something, as well - so keep calling them at least twice a week.
