I would say 'In-person'. Buffallo office is too buys, I would not surpize if it takes more than a month or so. ID is important in US and I would not prefer my passport over there for a month or two. Again its every one personal choice. Good Luck Mods777!

Senior Members - Those who got their visa stamped. I am still confused and trying to find out if I should go for stamping in person or should send via mail.

Can anyone please throw some light the pros and cons between the two.

Thanks

Finally received my passport back from the LA consulate. Nothing about his process has been fast as originally promised. In total it took about 2 years and 3 months. In the end it took 7 weeks to just get my passport back.

In spite of all these frustrations, it is still a much shorter wait than it would be for US. Good luck to all fellow applicants and thanks to everyone who helped out during the process.

Will keep you guys updated with landing, which I plan to do in June.

Peace..
 
VAtoCA,

Would like to offer any help regarding address in Alberta if you are Gulti by any chance.

Mods777, you can also plan to send across the passports to Buffalo as Jovan got in 10 days, which is lot quicker I believe.
