I read in the blueprint it's like 50/50 you can pick it up. My girl really wants to because of nosy cousins who regularly open her mail then give it to her. #######!?! Obviously the visa packet has some stuff that says you can't open and I am worried it'll get opened... But anyway anyone with some recent experience on this. Does she just ask at the end and hope or should she mention the situation? Even though it sounds far fetched it's apparently true.

We were able to pick my wifes at the Embassy. Make the request in writing to the Conoff that interviews her. It's up to them whether they will alllow it or not. That was 2 years ago so I don't know if things have changed since then or not.

All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.

I know of no-one lately that has been allowed to pickup the visa. Emergency only,, they said.

Regardless,,, Air21 will not allow anyone to receive the package unless your wife signs a release for

others to sign for the package.

Regards,

I'm the wife of an American Soldier;

I'm the hope that lives within him after storm clouded days.

The freedom from war that gives wings to his heart,

May they reach across the miles and bind our hearts together

against all that we must face in this world.

Hi! I just read your post. I had my visa picked up just two months ago. Just call the embassy and ask if they will allow your wife/fiance to pick it up. In my case, My husband called the embassy and said that he can fax a request letter for visa pick up and they granted it. Actually its case to case basis and really depends on the consul who's the one conducted the interview. Goodluck and God bless. :)
