I've always had to send my passport off for visas. China, E. Germany and Hungary require(d) it. Totally normal. You can pay for the rush service and there are lots of travel agencies who can expedite it too. I've seen bicycle messengers drop off bagfuls of passports at the Chinese Embassy in DC. Ukraine and Czech Republic gave me visas at the border. Ukraine wanted $50 USD and it had to be USD. That was a lot of fun back in 1991 when they had just broken away from the USSR, but hadn't changed anything yet.
