Ok I am panicking for nothing and just having an OCD moment!!! I had my interview June 23 and was approved, the guy took my passport said 5 days the usual stuff. I wasn't really panicking until 2 people that interviewed on the same day one was an IR1 visa the other a K1 got there visa's already. Should I be panicking?? DOS said that the CO has no notes requesting anything, and that it should be printed shortly. I just find it weired that I was the 2nd person interviwed that day and don't have my visa but other people do, anyone else had this experience?

Hey!

Congratulations on being approved! So at the interview, you were told "your visa is approved"? If so, then it's probably a matter of bureaucracy (hope you can say that in English!).

When you think about it, there was a holiday the day after your interview, which means the consulate people were off. Then the 1st of July, which means again they were off. And today they're not working because the 4th of July was yesterday, a Sunday... They'll be off today because of that (mother in law works for the US governement and she's off today)...

So technically, the consulate has had only 5 work days since your interview...Try not to worry too much, give it another week and see what happens.

Hope this helps!

I emailed the consulate yesterday inquiring about the status of when the visa would be printed. To my surprise they just emailed me back (i was not anticipating a reply back at all) they said "a visa was issued and you should have receive it or receive it shortly" Great no date of issuance and the tracking # not in the canada post system, (Oh i love gov't) So I called DOS and they said it was issued this morning, but she is not sure when it will go out as montreal is so slow with everything!!! So here's hoping it doesn't sit in the mailroom for a week. At least I can relax a little now whew!!!
