This goes out to anyone who has already been approved and received a visa from the Kingston Embassy. We had our interview on the 28th of May. We were APPROVED! Now the comes the question of tracking the visa.

In the past, the method was to track visa's through DHL's website. However, as of March (many of you already know) the process was changed and now for the fiance visa the embassy requires applicants to register at usvisa-info and designate where the applicant would like the visa delivered to. Well my question is, Do I refer to the usvisa-info site to track the visa? I saw post for the Mexican embassy where it was suggested to just contact DOS to verify the status.

Any information anyone can provide is much appreciated.

Also, for those whom have received their visa, particularly the fiance visa; How long did it take for the visa to be delivered after the interview? Is it reasonable to think the process is still about 8-10 business days?

Thank you.

Yes, you would use the usvisa website to track the package. You will not see the waybill number until it has been picked up by DHL though. You can also call the State Dept. to see where it is, as they have more information available but wait about a week before calling them. Our visa took a few weeks, another VJ'er that had their interview on the same day as us got theirs in 7 days. I have no idea why...... Just a little more patience now, you're almost there! My honey picked up his visa on the 14th, I had him on a plane the next day, lol

Thank you, this information really does help alot! Now, did you have your DHL screen print at the time of the embassy or you had to email it to them? Wondering if this is where the addition time came in. Defintely a little more patience now, it's just so hard. After spending time together, it is so hard to leave your love one behind. He too has said he is coming as soon has that visa is delivered. Which I pray is really soon!

DoS Hotline also knows status. limited status, but some status.

Sometimes my language usage seems confusing - please feel free to 'read it twice', just in case !
Ya know, you can find the answer to your question with the advanced search tool, when using a PC? Ditch the handphone, come back later on a PC, and try again.

Do you know how to figure out how to get the waybill # off DHL? Also, the status says "Ready" but talks about ready for the interview. The status was updated on 5/28/2013. Any thoughts about this?

The way bill will not be available until the DHL receives the package from the Embassy and scan it in their system, in other words the way bill is the "tracking #".

Once the status is still showing as ready, then the visa is not yet issued by the Embassy, once the visa is issued the status will show "ISSUED'. You can call 876 632-7400 or email kingstoniv@state.gov for more information on the stats of your visa.

Thank you. So going through the embassy is the best bet rather than DOS?

Is there a difference on the dos website between "issued" and "ready"

It's been 10 days and Naples says they still don't have our file.....

I can't seem to navigate dhl to track ... Discouraged ... So many mishandlings by the whole process .....
