I had my interview on june 2nd in montreal for a CR-1 visa and was told that my package was ok and was given the "welcome to USA" letter. It has been 10 days and I am still waiting for my visa. I called DOS and was told that my status was pending?? Has anyone who interviewed around this date received their visa?

Mine was the 25th... Still waiting. It'll be three weeks Wednesday. Getting so fed up, just when you think it's finally over. More waiting

If the status DOS gave is pending, its likely not been printed yet.

So Montreal finally mailed my fiance's passport. Almost one month after the interview. I put in a Congressional in on Monday and I'm thinking it's a good think otherwise it might still be sitting there at the Consulate. So 18 business days after the interview and 13 business days since it was printed. Got the email from DHL last night.

How come the reference number is different on DHL from the csc site? is that with everyone?

from what I understand.....there are two numbers.....a reference number you are given when you sign up for DHL on the CSC website when you booked your interview..... and when the visa is issued and and then picked up by DHL it's given a waybill number...... but you should be able to go to the DHL.ca website and enter the REFERENCE number to track your package.... or just physically drive to the DHL branch you signed up to have it sent to ( if possible)... and give them your name.....some people haven't been asked for a waybill number at the DHL branch when picking it up.
