Happy to report that I have my visa and package in hand. After receiving an email with my waybill number last night, I received an email this morning letting me know that my package had arrived at the local DHL office and was 'undeliverable'. A few minutes later I received a phone call from DHL letting me know I could come pick it up - which I did!

I asked my fiance and he said it's probably open for pick up on Saturday, but no courier service. Your best bet is to call them tomorrow.

Also, I believe ralyse and I had the same interviewer (the lady with dreadlocks), so maybe the reason we received our waybills is the amount of time and when the interviewer processes the applicants.

Call who tomorrow - DHL or Dos?

I did call DoS yesterday, they said it was printed on the 5th, and that it should be in the mail soon. We did have that same interviewer, though I think its a little random as to when the visas get sent out. Our interview finally took place at about 1:30pm after arriving at 7:15. So I had plenty of time to watch and try to figure out how that office works. Its the receptionist lady that does all the DHLing, and it looked very random!

Either way, I REALLY hope we get it on Saturday!

Call DHL to see if they're open on Saturdays, just to double check.

I called DHL, and they are not open on Saturday at all.

I am thinking about showing up at DHL with my fiancee and seeing - it just doesn't make sense to me that everyone else who was interviewed on the 5th already has their waybill! argh!

Well, my interview was the 3rd, not the 5th. Visa was apparently printed the 5th, however.

And no, not in hand just yet, though tracking tells me its at my local office now. Hopefully this afternoon :)
