Hi skFSW

Does LA have the option of stamping the visa in person? Do they entertain applicants who may want to get it done the same day? Just curious!

Good luck with your visa stamping.

Yes they have this option mentioned in the PPR email.

But this option is very costly from Canada so no use for me.

Thanks skFSW so much. This info is so helpful. I am very close to LA and going in person would probably be the best option for me.
