Hi. They will keep it and send it via Courier. You will be told to go to the Courier desk and pay a small fee and the passport with enclosed Visa should arrive at your address within a few days. Mine was about 2 days!

It is different in every country. UK sends it via courier, others do it differently. Vary rarely will you receive your visa the of the interview. Check with the regional groups to see if someone else has gotten a visa from the same embassy as yourself. do not expect to receive your visa that day!!! Some embassies it could be weeks before you get it.

In El Salvador you pay a fee and delivery depends on where the person lives. And nope, sorry, it's more likely you wont be allowed to be at the interview :( check info here http://www.visajourney.com/consulates/index.php?letter=E

In Brazil it's ready in 2 days (or earlier, depending on the case) and most people stay there to pick it up themselves.

I only offer advice - not even legal. Just the plain and simple kind.

I depends on the consulate. My fiance' was told to come pick his up a few hours after his interview. He went back but something was up, so he had to stay in Naples another night to get it in the morning. But other consulates mail out the passports/visas. You may just have to wait and see :D

Good luck at the interview!
