Waybill needed? Where??

[Duders 0]

Hey everyone! We just had our medical and interview and passed I wanted to have my passport with visa shipped to my address, the lady told me I needed to do that ASAP, but I can't find the waybill CSC says I need. I read that people use the reference ID on dhl.ca but that doesn't work at all. She said I had to do it THAT DAY (12th) or 13th and I'm afraid if I don't get it in time I'll have to travel 4hrs to the nearest pick-up. Definitely not what I want, especially since I don't drive and no access to a vehicle.

What did everyone else do? I really need it shipped to my address! Please help!

Once the Visa is ready to be shipped to you, a waybill number will appear on the The U.S. Visa Service site. It will appear in the Applicant summary section. Follow these instructions:

Document Delivery Service to an address within Canada

An applicant may request that his passport be delivered to an address within Canada by following the procedure below.

Step 1: Once the waybill number appears on the applicant summary, the applicant sends an e-mail to csc.deliveries@dhl.com with the following information for each applicant:

Applicant full name (As written in the passport and visa application)

Applicant reference id (located on the "Applicant Summary" after login in)

Waybill number

Daytime phone number

Full address in Canada

Special instructions (i.e. leave at reception, leave on 3rd floor suite 100, etc., additional contact information)

Step 2: DHL will call applicant within 2 business days to arrange payment. The costs for each passport will be:

Same Province: $14.62 + Taxes

National: $18.27 + Taxes

Step 3: Once the payment transaction is complete, DHL will send the documents to the address defined by the applicant on step 1.

Please Note: If the applicant declines charges or DHL cannot collect the charge, the passport will be delivered to the DHL location initially selected by the applicant at no cost.

Disclaimer:

DHL will make two delivery attempts during regular business hours (9:00 -18:00). If the two attempts fail, DHL will send the passport back to the branch location originally selected.

DHL will leave package with anyone who answers the door at the requested address and signs for it.

DHL will require the signature of the package and will not leave the document at the address if nobody is there to sign for it.

If DHL is unable to deliver the passport after two attempts, but the applicant still requires the passport to be delivered at a specific address, a new service request starting with Step 1 and new transaction payment will be required.

Documents will be delivered within the next two (2) business days of having completed the payment

Service fees are nonrefundable.

This service does not provide for delivery outside of Canada.

The following terms and conditions apply: http://www.loomisexpress.com/ca/wfServiceTermsConditions.aspx

Congrats on the approval! I am making my POE on February 3rd.

Thank you, but I've already seen that. What I'm worried about is that the lady at the Vancouver Consulate said in order to get it sent to my address, I had to send them an e-mail with the waybill by the end of today (the 13th) but there is still no waybill. DHL has no use for the reference number. So I'm not really sure what to do. I really don't want my passport going to a pick up location 4hrs away (sadly, that was the closest option, blah).

My memory is a little fuzzy about this, but it seems to me that I chose the nearest office on the visa website (which was still 1 hour away), and when that office called to notify me that they'd received my passport, they told me of a DHL dropoff place in my town. I actually knew about it (it's a local video store), and I wondered why I couldn't get it delivered there, but I guess only regional offices are on the website, and the secondary dropoffs aren't listed as an option.

I would call the regional office you chose and ask them if they have a dropoff nearer than 4 hours away, or if you know there's a local DHL, call them and see what they say.

I was wondering the same thing. Thank you for posting the instructions here.

We would like the fastest delivery product DHL/Loomis offers. On their web site, that would be Next Day 9am service.

Is it available by the email request instructions above?

Thanks!

Impossible - you don't get the waybill number until AFTER the visa has been put in your passport. I had similar *confusing* instructions from the Vancouver consulate, but since I wasn't in a rush it didn't matter. Took me almost 3 weeks to get my passport. I think it took about 5 days for a waybill to show up online, then I got lazy, and then it took about 4 days to get it once I emailed DHL.

Good luck..
