Our interview was December 18 and our status on CEAC was updated to ISSUED yesterday. We were emailed a tracking number this morning. If you have been assigned a tracking number you should be able to see it on AIS under status next to the applicant's name. Hope this helps!

We finally do have a tracking number on the AIS website, but for the longest time it was "check DS 260 status"...which concerned me because we had been "issued" since the 21st, and no sign of tracking info. Congrats on being issued though! Glad they're catching up on their mail.

Wait, you were issued the 21st and still no tracking info??!!! That must be difficult... I am really sorry to hear that. I wonder what is going on... it is really annoying that there isn't a phone number to speak with an actual person, especially in this situation. Hoping you hear something soon.

Thanks!! We finally did get a tracking number - I emailed the consulate last night and they replied with the number this morning. Makes me wonder if it got lost in the shuffle. According to Canada Post, they created a label but it hasn't been shipped yet. Would loved to have received it before New Years, since we have a long road trip to California and need to hit the road ASAP...but at least it made its way to their mail room, I suppose :-/. Glad everything worked out for you guys finally! This process has been insane but thank god it's almost over.

Have you check the ais.usvisa-info.com to see if you got the tracking number or email the consulate because its already 5 days.

Yes we have been checking the status there but no tracking info - just says "check ds 260 status", and the current status still says "Appointment". I sent the Montreal Consulate a message through their public inquiry form since they don't accept phone calls, so we'll see if they get back to me. Our status updated date just changed from the 21st to 29th on CEAC, though, so here's hoping that's a good thing.

Just found this thread and wanted to weigh in :-). My husband had his interview in Montreal on December 17 for his CR1/IR1 visa. Apparently it was quick and painless (which was a relief!), and he was approved right on the spot. We registered for the courier before his interview, and paid the $22 to have it sent to our in-laws' place in Ontario where we've been staying. After the a few days went by, we checked the CEAC website and it said "issued" as of December 21, but no tracking info yet.

I knew everything would be a little delayed from the holidays, but as of today the status is still the same with no tracking number. The folks at the visa appointment services call center say they can only see the same info as us, and to keep checking CEAC status. We've been checking our email/junk folders, etc, and still nothing. Wondering if its normal to be stuck in "issued" limbo for this long without any tracking info? Getting a little worried :-/
