Hi there. I sponsored my Algerian husband using the Paris office. When he was approved I flew first to Tunisia to meet up with him and took his passport to Paris. We did need to fill out a form to say that he allowed me to take his passport and have the visa placed inside it. I then took it to the embassy and waited 2 days to go and pick it up again and then off to Tunisia I went. It was easy and I had no problems at all.
Immigration should be sending him a letter that let's him know his options. He can send it via UPS too. Or take it in person (but he needs a visa for that). The only reason I went to Paris myself was because my husbands medical was about to expire and there was no way I was going to let that happen!
Thank you . My husband is in Montreal since October 26th... but thanks anyways
