delivered after 1 week exactly. The consulate took from Friday to Thursday morning to get the visa printed and sent to the service and then the service overnighted it to Hanoi. Less than 24 hrs from when they got it from the consulate.. great delivery!

Visa is good through April 9 2013. he will be here a week from Tuesday.:dance:
