Time frame between request of Passport and issuing of Visa

[linalizzie]

Hi All,

A few questions:
1. What method did you send your passports when requested? Can you take it to the office yourself?
2. If you must mail it, can you submit a fedex slip to have them fedex it back to you once the visa is issued?
3. Approximately how long between the time they receive the passport and the time they issue your visa?

Thanks!
