Just a little clarification... The visa is good for 5 years, but the first use must be within 90 day of issue. We had to mail our passports and application to the MIA office. I also send a copy of my wife's ID and printed listing. We had no problems and no question asked. Also, they would not accept via regular mail , we HAD to send it to them USPS Next Day / Second Day or FedEx. For the return of the passports they only required a SASE, but I spend a few extra $$ and enclosed a prepaid USPS Next Day envelope.
