I would be interested to hear from anyone else if the two weeks is an approximate time for them to affix and send out a K1 visa after successful interview. I was hoping that we could get the visa in hand within a week after interview..

Alla received her K-1 within a week of the approval, using the prepaid DHL mailer (to local Moscow region).

As of Dec 7, 2009, now Zero miles apart (literally)!

If you have the passport with the visa held at the DHL facility in Moscow she can go and pick it up there directly. Usually takes about 2 or 3 days. That's what we did.

I am not 100% sure but I think that also depends what DHL service you used. If you get the over night envelop then I think a week is might be alright.
