It was quite fast. Deposited at the Menlo Park, CA, post office on Wednesday evening, sent via Express Mail. Delivered to the Vietnam embassy in Washington, DC, on Friday at 11a. Monday was a holiday. Processed and mailed on Tuesday via Priority Mail, using the enclosed self-addressed stamped envelope. Arrived at Austin Thursday at noon, a week before take-off. The well-meaning spouse could not see why he should pay for a Fed Ex either way, esp. when Fed Ex has repeatedly had trouble delivering to our house in the boonies. But he now knows better than to make executive decisions regarding visas. Next time, he'll save even more money by sticking his wife in a plane using frequent flyer miles and sending her to Washington, DC, to escort the passports personally.
