Embassy sent Packet with proof of approval

[Eurotraveler 3]

Hi all,

I am a newbie to all this, so this may be common knowledge, but for others like me who were not in the know, here is a bit of info. After we had our approval, I contacted the embassy in Hungary to see what I needed to do to keep the process moving forward. They said if I sent them proof of approval, they would sent my fiancee the packet, no need to wait for NVC. I sent them a screenshot of our approval from USCIS and just got a confirmation email from them that the packet went out. We got approved on May 15th and they sent it on the 17th. Like I said, this may be common knowledge, but maybe other embassies will do this as well. I just haven't seen this in anything I have read so far during the process....so, sorry if this redundant, but thought I would put it out there anyway. Cheers!!

I have heard rumors that this works elsewhere as well, depending completely on the friendliness and busy-ness of the local embassy. If my case doesn't move through NVC reasonably fast (it's only been 5 days, I'm not expecting any miracles!) I may try it with Finland as well. I think it works that way for smaller/less frequent countries, but probably not for high fraud and very overloaded places.
