I -130 Immigrant visa - filed in USA
My interview has been scheduled for August and I'm having my medical done next week but there has been no mention of a courier service for receiving my passport and documents back after the interview.....is this normal?

Hi,
Still no clarity on this and no instructions to organise courier.
Anyone else went through this? I can't imagine they'll send me away with visa/visa documents on day of interview?...
Thanks in advance.

This from the London US Embassy website:
Your passport will be returned to you by the Embassy approved courier service. If your application was processed by the Immigrant Visa Unit at the Embassy you are required to register for courier service at the time you schedule the appointment for the visa interview. If your application was processed by the National Visa Center and they have scheduled your appointment, you must register with courier as soon as you receive the appointment letter and before you attend the Embassy.

All of the folk in 'filed in USA' Timeline used a courier that was setup prior to the interview. Although the thread i pasted above had his organised on the day of the interview. There has been nothing on my instructions to organise a courier so far.

I always thought that was the case. That is why you pay the fee for the courier service on the day you go for your interview. The arrangements are made at that time. At least that was my impression.
