i wouldn't mention it and tell them once u have arrived where u are going, god knows how long they will hold up the train over a mispelling ;-)

pocheros make sure u give lots of time for customs, i went through immigration at Pearson last thursday it took them 2 and 30 mins to process my visa (not counting any other lines). It was a pretty terrible experience.

yeah last week someone said something about AP, next day they said it had been printed a week before.

Ty and yes it appears certain visas do only get mailed out on fridays, with that info it all makes sense what had been going on with me.

August 16th................. VISA IN HAND!

I checked the CSC website an hour ago - no waybill number.

Yay for everyone getting their waybill numbers! I hope everyone's POE goes well!

PS: I wish I had found this thread a lot sooner...it helps to know we're not the only ones going through this process.

Yep, from what I understand that means no AP! Now you're just waiting for the consulate to stick it in an envelope and mail it to you!

Hopefully your wait is shorter than ours has been, ours was printed on the 5th of August!

I can't believe how inconsistent the DoS is with sending out visas! If they approve a certain number of visas on a certain day, they should send them all out that day. This guessing game is ridiculous and totally stressful!

Missingmycanadian, I really hope your fiancee gets hers soon! I haven't seen my husband in 5 months and its killing me!

Did they ask for his waybill number? Or did just you say you were expecting some mail for Mr. X?

Thanks for the tip.

I just got some clarification from him. He called the number on the back of the letter he was given at his appointment (after he was approved). They told him the visa was already at DHL and I believe they had the waybill number. Then he called DHL to look up the package and they confirmed it was already there.

This is been2's wife. We've been waiting anxiously to hear back from DHL regarding his visa and never got an email or call from them. So he decided to call them this morning - DHL had his visa ready for pickup. He's on his way to pick it up now and hopefully, will be in Texas tomorrow.

If you haven't heard from DHL, call them. There is a chance your visa might be there.

Good luck to everyone!

I found out some interesting info today when i called DoS. Apparently the consulate (Montreal only?) only sends out packages by DHL on fridays. Can anyone else confirm if they have heard anything like this? I can confirm that when i was in for my interview (Friday August 5th) the receptionist did have a bunch of visas on her desk and she was putting them in DHL envelopes.

thanks Saylin, i read through your review. does anyone else have any experiences to share?

Hey guys what does POE consist of, do they go through your belongings, load computer and what not? How intense was your experience?

Hey ralyse how did u get your Waybill number? Email or CSC Website?

thanks ralyse

I just made my DoS call and was told my visa has been issued as of today. Any idea how long the turn over to have it in hand is roughly (Montreal Consulate, QC - Peterboroygh, ON)?

thanks will try that in a few mins.

missingmycanadian no waybill here either and i was approved on the 5th. does anyone know who to contact to find out if your visa has been printed?

Have u guys had your interview date yet? If not you want to contact the NVC and ask them how to mail the documents to them.

Is DoS able to tell me if they have printed my visa yet? I called them and the other person didn't seem to have a clue.

Hey all had my Montreal Consulate Appointmnt August 5th, now waiting for the Visa to arrive at my DHL location. Anyone else go there the 5th?

Hello,

I am applying for my K-1 Visa and I just received Packet 3 from the Montreal Consulate. I am trying to follow the instructions to sign up for a DHL courier location but I'm having problems.

I have followed the instructions exactly from my Pkt 3 letter and instructions given on CSC website. After selecting Montreal as the consular location, I am not given the option to choose a DHL location. Instead I am directed to a Visa information page.

Am I doing something wrong? Has anyone else had this problem? Any suggestions or help would be great!!

Thanks!

t.rah

when u sign in does it show a DHL location for u at all?

Greetings all, I had my consulate appointment in Montreal on August 5th and now waiting for my visa to arrive at my DHL location. Anyone else in the same boat? So far all i can confirm is the consulate has not passed off the visa to DHL as of yet.

When i asked my officer they expected my visa to be given to DHL for shipping by August 11th. I've called to run tracking, and checked online several times but all the say is they have no info for me regarding shipping.
