Call the DOS. If you don't get an answer from one person, keep calling back!

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?

Mine was printed on the 5th sorry, but my interview was on the 3rd as well ralyse.

I called DoS and they told me that my visa had been "issued" meaning printed on the 5th. Their number is 1-202-663-1225. When you call, press 1 at the first menu, and then 0 at the second menu to get to a visa specialist. Just ask to check the status of your visa, and give them your MTL case number. They've been very friendly when I've called.

Just spoke to Matt at DOS (very nice) he said the visa has not been printed yet.

The wait time is about 15 minutes.

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)?

Depends. Mine was printed on the 5th and I'll be picking it up today, so a week in my case.

Visa in hand! 7 business days from interview, standing in front of DHL now, waiting for my taxi. I'll note that once I got the waybill, I kept my eye on it. It got to the Waterloo location at 7am. I never did get the email saying it was ready for pickup, but I called and confirmed with the DHL 800 number that it was fine to go get it. My fiance will be here in a couple hours, going to POE tonight at the Bluewater Bridge!

After months of reading this thread, I am absurdly happy to be able to answer the poll finally, lol.

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

It's really easy. You just give over the sealed envelope. They'll probably ask a few questions, but nothing too hard. They didn't go through my belongings in the car (as far as I know).
