I was approved for my K-1 Visa yesterday at the Vancouver Consulate.

Since then, I've been bumming around VJ checking recent Vancouver Consulate approvals and time between "Interview Approvals" to "Visa Received" times so I can map out a timeline in my head for when I can move/etc.

Reading up on topics and guides, it sounds like some people wait up to a few weeks to have their visa ready for pickup.

However, checking I found 3-6 timelines in the last 6 months that people got their visa in 4-5 days.

What are those people doing to make it faster???!!! I want in on the secret!!!!

Also.. my Applicant Summary is now stating "Loomis" instead of DHL when I first booked my interview... guessing the service provider switched.

So it's just ready when it's ready from what it sounds like it. Gah, at least it's one last time (for K-1) to be at the mercy at waiting for something.

Oddly, I did get an email from Loomis today (2 days since my interview) saying my Visa has been picked up from the consulate, but not ready for pick up. The Applicant Summary screen on the site I book my interview hasn't changed however. Whatever, I got a waybill number now, MUHAHAHAHAHAH :devil:

Really? That's crazy - did you see it on the website? Or did they email to you? My fiance's interview was Monday the 5th.

Edit: You're C-1, we're K-1... so I'm not sure if that influences things at all.
