My permesso is finally ready to pick up. But, I'm in the US tending to a family medical emergency. Any ideas how long they'll wait for me to pick it up?? It took immigration 4 months after the day I applied to have it ready. They told me it would take 30 days. I'm so hoping I won't have to start the whole process over when I get medical things cleared up for my father. They won't allow my husband to pick it up with copies of my nulla osta, residency, and of my passport. Any suggestions?
