06-11-2007 = NOA1 date (unknown to me).

07-20-2007 = Phoned Immigration Officer; got WAC#; where's NOA1?

09-25-2007 = Touch (first-ever).

09-28-2007 = NOA1, 23 days after their 45-day promise to send it (grrrr).

10-20 & 11-14-2007 = Phoned ImmOffs; "still pending."

12-11-2007 = 180 days; file is "between workstations, may be early Jan."; touches 12/11 & 12/12.

12-18-2007 = Call; file is with Division 9 ofcr. (bckgrnd check); e-prompt to shake it; touch.

12-19-2007 = NOA2 by e-mail & web, dated 12-18-07 (187 days; 201 per VJ); in mail 12/24/07.

01-23-2008 = Consulate gets file; outdated Packet 4 mailed to fiancee 1/27/08; rec'd 3/3/08.

04-29-2008 = Fiancee's 4-min. consular interview, 8:30 a.m.; much evidence brought but not allowed to be presented (consul: "More proof! Second interview! Bring your fiance!").

05-05-2008 = Infuriating $12 call to non-English-speaking consulate appointment-setter.

05-06-2008 = Better $12 call to English-speaker; "joint" interview date 6/30/08 (my selection).

06-30-2008 = Stokes Interrogations w/Ecuadorian (not USC); "wait 2 weeks; we'll mail her."

07-2008 = Daily calls to DOS: "currently processing"; 8/05 = Phoned consulate, got Section Chief; wrote him.

08-07-08 = E-mail from consulate, promising to issue visa "as soon as we get her passport" (on 8/12, per DHL).

08-27-08 = Phoned consulate (they "couldn't find" our file); visa DHL'd 8/28; in hand 9/1; through POE on 10/9 with NO hassles(!).

Please how did you know it was available for pick up???? Did you track it or you were told at the DHL office when your fiancé got there today??? 

After approval the CO said the visa would be available in 2 weeks and to come back and pick it up. My fiance checked the embassy 2 weeks after the interview (January 18th)  and it was not there. Then today after reading this thread, I asked him to go to DHL. I did not get any notification or email. I only noticed that on January 13th the CAEC site status changed to "Issued".... He just went by chance and it was there. When he was at the DHL office he inquired about the process and his frustration about not knowing where to go. They told him that it was actually at DHL the whole time, ever since January 18th.

Hubby went to the embassy Tuesday and they told him to check the DHL office. He went back to the DHL office they told him they didn't have it. The lady at the DHL office told him that he needs to contact the NVC. Today he went to the DHL office and they still don't have his passport. Smh
