Just got my passport an hour ago!  

Thank you My interview was at 9:15 am and I got there considerably early at around 8:55 am. I did not have to wait outside at all I was let right into the security and then straight to the room where the interview was conducted. I don't think it's really necessary to be as early as I was, 5 minutes prior would probably suffice!

1. I actually live just outside of Windsor and my interview was on Friday November 17th. I paid for the purolator delivery and I received my passport in the morning on Thursday November 23rd. 
 
2. I just crossed the border yesterday and it was like any other time I’ve crossed the border. I said to the border officer that I was crossing for the first time since receiving my visa and he just checked a few things on the computer and said everything looked fine and didn’t ask to see the car or send me in for any further processing. I asked him if he was sure there was no “activation” type thing I had to do but he said no and that I was already coming up as a lawful permanent resident. I was under the impression I had to go in for some processing but he ensured me otherwise and I was almost positive they would want to look in my car but he didn’t seem to care. I know it varies from officer to officer but that’s how my experience went. Other than paying the immigration fee online, there was nothing else I had to do at the border. 
 
Good luck !!

Go onto CEAC then go to the end of your DS-260 (where you're able to print the confirmation that it was completed). On this page, you should see a barcode and it is the number starting with "AA"

Thank you so much! I hope everything goes smoothly for you. Don’t hesitate to let me know if you have any other questions, I know how stressful this whole experience can be so I’d love to help anyone in anyway possible! Wishing you all the best

Ok I figured it must be Canada when you said Purolator. We are going to to that route too. Our interview is on a Friday as well. Hoping to have passport back by that Thursday. 

Had my interview on November 17th and got approved!! SO relieved it's finally over. And congratulations to everyone who got their interview letters this month, if anyone has any general questions about the interview let me know!

Thank you!! I actually did pay for it, my interview was on a Friday so obviously there were no updates throughout the weekend but today (Tuesday) my status on CEAC changed to "issued" and then a few hours later (at 11:30 am) I received an email from Purolator with my tracking info. I should be receiving it by the end of this week but I'll update you when I do.

Visa in Hand! Interview ended around 12:30pm Thursday Sep 21, was mailed out around 11:30 am Friday the 22nd, reached selected post office in BC on Sep 24th around 10am.

Got my interview date today and I am super grateful to be close to the end!! My interview is on November 17th but if it was two days later (19th) it would fall on my husband and I's 2nd anniversary which would mean it wouldn't be a CR-1 at that point. I'm just curious if I should try to possibly reschedule for a few days later than the 17th or if it's really not that big of a deal/worth rescheduling? 

DQ’ed July 5th and just got my IL today (interview is November 17). 

Oh okay! I had no clue it was based on the entry date. I'm so relieved now, thank you so much for your response
