I'm not sure it would be ready to pickup the next day. My husband had his interview on Monday, 9/23 and the status on Ceac.state.gov did not change to "Issued" until Wednesday. It's ready for him to pickup at the Brampton Loomis location tomorrow.

I think they have to send it back to you as they won't even let you through the security checkpoint without having a Loomis confirmation letter with you showing that you've registered for Loomis services for your passport to be delivered to a Loomis location when it's ready.

There is no guarantee the visa will be ready the next day if you're approved, that's why they use the loomis system. Plus if it is issued right away, loomis will have it next day. That's what happened to me. I was approved and the next morning, in central Alberta, I was able to pick my visa package up at the DHL.
