After a visa is issued to the beneficiary, both the petitioner and benificiary would love to fly out together if both were at the interview. In this case, it would be wise for the petitioner to buy a plane ticket around the time the beneficiary picks up the visa. So, does anyone know the amount of time it takes the beneficiary to pick up his or her visa at Haiti Messager after the visa is issued?

Hello my friend,

Our interview was July 27. Haiti messenger told my fiance he can pick up his visa on August 10. He called this morning, they told him to call tomorrow (Saturday, August 11) to pick up his visa. I will let you know tomorrow if his visa is ready. Haiti is slow as hell!!! :angry:

Moved from IR-1/CR-1 Progress Reports to Caribbean regional forum; visa pick-up procedures vary from country to country so this topic is specific to Haiti.

My fiance went to pick up his visa Friday from Haiti messenger. They told him it is not ready come back Saturday. My fiance went this morning they told him it is not ready come back Tuesday. :( We are waiting. I don't know what the problem is. :ranting:

hmmm... last time I got a visa it was a tourist visa- got it twice. My interview was on Friday, I picked up my visa on the following Wednesday. It took them just 5 days.

The stress of waiting can be unbearable at times! I hope you get it quick. You haven't already bought the ticket, have you?

Yes I bought his ticket. He was to leave today (Sunday @ 10am). I called the airlines and got my money back because the ticket was refundable. :dance:
