Hello, my husband's visa was approved on Wednesday. The lady at the consulate said we would receive an email letting us know when the visa/passport would be ready for pick up; she said it would be within 2 weeks. I showed her the paper with the location we chose to pick up the passport (the paper has a barcode and indicated that we should take it with us to the appt) but she seemed a little clueless... she said the email will provide instructions. Does anyone has any sight on what to expect? Thank you!! **country: El Salvador

Please be advised that a visa is not really approved until it is issued.......and there is always the possibility of administrative processing delay.  Therefore, it is advised to wait until your visa is in hand and checked for errors before booking flights, etc.  Hopefully, your status will be "issued" very soon...Best wishes.

Thank you but that doesn't answer my question. I want to know how the embassy will know where to send the passport if the lady never took the paper that indicates where to send it...
