Those who do the work themselves, and show up at <em>Migraciones</em> here for each step of the process, and therefore are present with identification in front of local immigration officials, get their visas processed here. I was simply handed mine 4-5 weeks after my final paperwork got submitted with all the corrections they wanted. Of course, that could just be an answer that the woman who handed me the visa made up on the spot, who knows?
