Belgrade visa delivery question

Hello all,

Being new to this forum, I hope I'm posting in the correct sub-forum. My wife has a CR1 visa interview at the end of January, 2013. My question is, if she is granted a visa, how will the Embassy deliver the visa? I found on the Embassy website, a FAQ:

usvisa-info.com/en-RS/selfservice/us_courier_information

Under "Passport/Document Return to Applicant" I read the information and I'm a bit confused.

Without copy and pasting the entire webpage, this is what interests me: How is the Visa delivered? Is it by mail to my home address, does my wife go to the Consulate to pick up her passport, or do we go to a DHL Service center? They don't state where DHL delivers if someone isn't registered.. The website states:

All passports with visas will be returned to the applicant via DHL. This service is provided at no additional cost to the applicant. To receive documents back from the Consular Section (i.e. your passport with visa), the applicant must be registered on this site. To do so, please click on "Log In" at the top of this site. Follow the steps to select trip purpose, preferred DHL delivery location, and other relevant information requested for each applicant.

I'm curious how the post interview process works, and how they send it. From this FAQ one would assume that you go to a service center, but I'm not sure how they pick a service center. Or if I should sign up on their website at all.. Furthermore, I was never informed to register to any websites in order to get her passport back.

I'm really confused..

Thanks in advance.

-Kind Regards

Welcome to VJ!

Have you contacted the embassy directly with your question?

I'm transferring your thread to the "Europe & Eurasia" regional subforum, in case someone there knows the answer directly. People will also still be able to find and click on your question in the Embassy/Consulate forum, even though it will show as "moved."

06-04-2007 = TSC stamps postal return-receipt for I-129f.

06-11-2007 = NOA1 date (unknown to me).

07-20-2007 = Phoned Immigration Officer; got WAC#; where's NOA1?

09-25-2007 = Touch (first-ever).

09-28-2007 = NOA1, 23 days after their 45-day promise to send it (grrrr).

10-20 & 11-14-2007 = Phoned ImmOffs; "still pending."

12-11-2007 = 180 days; file is "between workstations, may be early Jan."; touches 12/11 & 12/12.

12-18-2007 = Call; file is with Division 9 ofcr. (bckgrnd check); e-prompt to shake it; touch.

01-23-2008 = Consulate gets file; outdated Packet 4 mailed to fiancee 1/27/08; rec'd 3/3/08.

04-29-2008 = Fiancee's 4-min. consular interview, 8:30 a.m.; much evidence brought but not allowed to be presented (consul: "More proof! Second interview! Bring your fiance!").

05-05-2008 = Infuriating $12 call to non-English-speaking consulate appointment-setter.

05-06-2008 = Better $12 call to English-speaker; "joint" interview date 6/30/08 (my selection).

06-30-2008 = Stokes Interrogations w/Ecuadorian (not USC); "wait 2 weeks; we'll mail her."

07-2008 = Daily calls to DOS: "currently processing"; 8/05 = Phoned consulate, got Section Chief; wrote him.

08-07-08 = E-mail from consulate, promising to issue visa "as soon as we get her passport" (on 8/12, per DHL).

08-27-08 = Phoned consulate (they "couldn't find" our file); visa DHL'd 8/28; in hand 9/1; through POE on 10/9 with NO hassles(!).

Our (his) interview was in the morning and they would have given him his visa that afternoon but he had to bring back another type of police certificate. He took back the police certificate in the morning and they handed him his passport back that afternoon.

Check into the police certificate thing because apparently there are two types, one that says you are not a criminal and one that says you are not a criminal AND can leave the country.

Good luck.

NOA1 - Dec 13, 2010

NOA2 - May 3, 2011 (141 Days) NO RFE's

Im with SandMax check the police certificates. My husband got one from his city but we figured it wasn't right so we went to the main police station(I forgot the name) in BG and got another one. He also picked his visa up the next day when we brought in some papers we were missing.
