How long to print and mail

[bigbigblake 2]

So I have been nagging the DOS since we are on a tight schedule for moving.

According to both the DOS and the Montreal-IV e-mail, our visas our approved, with no AP processing. They are in queue to be printed and mailed.

We were approved at interview July 15th.

Visas confirmed approved on July 20th.

How long does it normally take to print and mail the visa's?

I have next week off to help her move, which means they HAVE to arrive by Friday DHL to Winnipeg. If I have to cancel this trip, then it will delay me another week since I cant get off work the following week which just kinda sucks!

DOS also sucks to talk to. I like them even less then NVC because its a different story every person. One guy named Matt told me that the DOS cant even check our cases. Twice. Third time i just hung up on him and called back!

Sounds like something is wrong. My interview was July 19 and I am picking my Visa up right now in Alberta. It took them 48 hours to print it and 24 hours to deliver it.

I don't know where you would call but I'm thinking you should start calling someone...

Good Luck!

Triple post ftw. Ive been calling daily. DOS doesn't help sadly.

Cant figure out why people are moving so quick compared to us.

Visa arrival usually takes a week on average. However there has been cases it takes even longer some waited close to a month.

Hopefully you hear something soon!

Don't forget us. We are way behind you. Interviewed June 29, told at DOS sent out July 7. No word anywhere from anyone. I don't know what to do next. Husband is going back to Phoenix as now we can't get a truck until earliest Aug 2. Spend 1000 getting him here and home again. 15 business days and nothing in my hands and no one to contact to find out what to do next. Even the Senator's office isn't calling back anymore.

Sorry about the triple post, I posted only once so must be a tech issue.

Have my visa in my hands after only 72 hours, how is that possible???

I've removed the two additional posts - sometimes Visa Journey hiccoughs .

This will teach me to never bother calling again.

I called DOS at 4:30 PM right before they closed and asked about my case.

The lady told me that my cases were on Administrative processing and not even completed. I said oh really. Thats not what the other people said, she puts me on hold and comes back saying. Yes you most definitely are.

So now Im worried. Wait about 3 hours, and my wife gets e-mails that DHL has picked up our passports.

GG DOS. I really would say its not worth talking to them at all.

...Wow. That's pretty misinformed on DOS' behalf. I'm glad it sounds like you'll get them shortly, though!
