Visa pick-up availability at VAC

[DinaBill 20]

Dina and I were rewarded for our persistence today. She chose to pick up at VAC. She was told 1-2 weeks. That seemed like a long time compared

to what I have read in the past. Does anybody have recent experience with this? She's gonna crash tomorrow. The next day she needs to decide

if to leave the Embassy/VAC area or not. She has a sister 10 bus hours away she can visit if it's really gonna be a more than week. If only a few days, then

she stays where she is and rests/shops/sightsees.

They tell everyone 1-2 weeks… sometimes it’s a few days, sometimes longer. Jaycel also chose to stay and pick up her visa in Manila and hers took exactly one week from thee day of her interview to be ready for pickup.
