Yeah mine was issued on July 2 and I don't have a waybill # yet. If I don't get one by Thursday evening I'm going to go to the location and give them a piece of my mind. Hoping I don't have to do that though!!!

It looks like we had our interview the same day in Montreal, were you first in line with a guy and another woman? I might have been behind you but it could have been someone else.

That's a long time, is your Loomis location in Montreal too?

Yup! I was first in line and I was talking with a lady and a guy. That lady got her Visa last Friday and she's already in the US!!

My loomis location is in Ottawa. I know the other guy I was with is waiting for his waybill # too.

That was you then, I was 1 or 2 people behind you. Do you know if the one who got hers was K1 or IR-1/CR-1?

I live in Montreal so I hope it doesn't take too long.

When you log in to https://ais.usvisa-info.com/en-ca/iv/users/sign_in does it still say "Current Status Appointment"?

A big congrats is in order! :)

Very happy to hear you moved on to the Issued phase! Time to celebrate! :)

I am so very relieved you have NO idea! Well actually, I'm sure you do haha.

I called Loomis just to inquire about how long it typically takes to courier it from Montreal to Burlington and they said within one business day, so if the courier picks it up tonight it will be available tomorrow.

I'm reading around though that they're not very good at keeping up with emails though, so if I don't receive one soon I'll probably just give them a call to make sure they got it.

Checked the us-visainfo site and still says appointment, I imagine that's normal though.

Same situation for me. I was the second guy in line. I still did not receive the waybill number and I had the Interview on June 16 and my status changed on issued on July 2. I am in Ottawa, and I hope I will get the email tonight. I don't understand why is taking so long to come from Montreal :(

It doesn't take long, only 1 business day. It's that Montreal Consulate hasn't released our visas to the courier yet. Which means they are probably just sitting on someone's desk right now until they get put in a basket for the courier to pick up.
