Did they ask for his waybill number? Or did just you say you were expecting some mail for Mr. X?

Thanks for the tip.

I just got some clarification from him. He called the number on the back of the letter he was given at his appointment (after he was approved). They told him the visa was already at DHL and I believe they had the waybill number. Then he called DHL to look up the package and they confirmed it was already there.

This is been2's wife. We've been waiting anxiously to hear back from DHL regarding his visa and never got an email or call from them. So he decided to call them this morning - DHL had his visa ready for pickup. He's on his way to pick it up now and hopefully, will be in Texas tomorrow.

If you haven't heard from DHL, call them. There is a chance your visa might be there.

Good luck to everyone!

Congrats! I just sent my fiancee over to the DHL office to see if they have hers.

So my fiancee called the number on the back of the letter, and when she asked if they documents had been given to DHL the lady replied "there are no documents available for pickup at this time." - I don't even know what that means :(

guess its just back to checking email religiously...

I called DoS and they said it's printed. Does that mean I will not go to AP? I hope everyone gets word from DHL soon!

Yep, from what I understand that means no AP! Now you're just waiting for the consulate to stick it in an envelope and mail it to you!

Hopefully your wait is shorter than ours has been, ours was printed on the 5th of August!

I just called DoS and they said my visa was "issued." I asked if that meant it was printed and they said yes. Now it's just waiting for DHL. DoS can't see anything after this point right? They can't see if it's been mailed out?

Sorry to hear you've been waiting awhile missingmycanadian. I'm sending good luck vibes to everyone!

My Toronto medical exam review. Note: the office has moved and some procedures have changed since my exam.

I can't believe how inconsistent the DoS is with sending out visas! If they approve a certain number of visas on a certain day, they should send them all out that day. This guessing game is ridiculous and totally stressful!

Missingmycanadian, I really hope your fiancee gets hers soon! I haven't seen my husband in 5 months and its killing me!
