So had my interview June 23, 2010 and passed. The CO told me it would take about 5 days to receive my visa. With the holidays in Quebec and yesterday that means today is day #5. No visa yet!!! I interviewed right after Cdnwife and she got her visa on tuesday but she was an IR-1, im a K1. So I called DOS to see what the hold up was and she said it hadn't been printed yet!!! its approved but not printed, good thing i didn't have my POE anytime soon. I am not POE'ing until July 30th,the lady was nice and said probably next week i should have it, lets hope!!! Just in case anyone else is planning their POE's don't assume it will be as fast as they say.

Our CO said it would take 2 weeks and we had it 8 days later. With the holidays, it will likely be next week. Like they tell you on the packet 3 paperwork, don't quit your job, sell your house or break your lease, etc, until the visa is in your hand because between the printing and the mailroom at the consulate, you just never know.

It's too bad you are not free from this VJ hassle even after the approval.

At least you know that you are approved and that your visa is on its way (kind of).

Congratulations!
