First of all, congrats on your approval!!! You've finally made it! dancin5hr.gif You just got approved on Monday? Well, its only been a few days so I hardly think you should be letting yourself get all worked up. 'Nothing' in the immigration process goes fast and that's the truth!! I've heard and read that 3-5 days is normal but can take 1-2 weeks. My fiancés interview is in a couple of weeks and I figured 2 weeks just to be safe. Relax, celebrate, etc, etc, try to not be so anxious and you'll get that text when your not even looking for it! Good luck to you and God bless!!

Also, I agree with the previous post, the pick-up option is the best I've heard. Hopefully you choose that option.

Embassy states right in their instructions letter that it can take up to 2 weeks after issuance for the visa to be delivered.

Some get it in less time.
