*sigh* I'm very sorry to hear that. Really and truly I am. It's not fair that anyone has to wait after a successful interview, in my opinion. I know it's only hallow words at this point, but I really will be hoping for you guys to hear some good news this week.

Well thank you, I mean it could always be worse...can't it? Today is officially my birthday and the only thing I could ever want is an "Issued" visa. I mean, if they issued your case (finally) that means they must be doing some work, right?

Is there anybody waiting for their passport from Montreal my ceac status says issued on June 3 it's July 6 now haven't got my passport back yet

I would be seriously worried if I were in your shoes.

You should have received it weeks ago. The status even says to check with the courier or the ais-usvisa website if you don't have a tracking number in 5 business days.

Have you sent an inquiry to the MTL?

I know a few people who have received their passports back from Montreal already who had interviews at later dates than you.

2015

June 16th: IR-1 Interview in Montreal. Approved

June 16th: Case Status as "Ready"

June 25th: Case Status as "Ready"

June 30th: Case Status as "Ready"

July 1st: Case Status as "Ready"

I emailed the consulate this morning and received this,

Good afternoon,

Thank you for your email!

Please note the visas was issued on July 2nd, 2015. You will receive an email notification when they are ready for pick up at the selected Loomis location.

Best regards,

I'm guessing this means they sent the kid's visas with mine and the Ceac website isn't reflecting the change. I still haven't received the Loomis waybill, I just called the generic Loomis number and she isn't showing anything in their system yet. Does anyone know how I can track down a waybill number?

8/10/2015 - Married

9/15/2015 - Mailed AOS packages

9/16/2015 - USPS Tracking confirms delivery

I am in the exact situation. The problem is there is no contact information for the Saskatoon branch. I even did all the google searches. I don't have anything reflected in the us-visa info website either. Caligirl got hers last nite so I hope at least by close of business to get mine. I am just a little nervous because no way to contact anybody...

Try to see if you can locate the loomis http://www.loomisexpress.com/DropOffLocs/?lan=en

maybe you can call loomis express

(It seems both the Lachine and Drummondville are using Loomis Express, although I know the Lachine branch is tied to Canpar)
