Tomorrow will mark 1 month since our 'successful' interview in Montreal. Still no notice from Loomis...anyone get any news today?

That is anyone's guess sadly. As I said in a previous post, some people received the waybill number via email once it actually arrived at the final Loomis destination. Go figure.

You received the "Issued" phase on the 2nd, correct? If so, that would put you just under the 5 business day mark today, but I would definitely send an email off to the addressed provided on the CEAC website if you do not get any confirmation email by tomorrow.

Technically 5 business days is tomorrow because July 3rd was a holiday for Montreal.

Something go smoothly post-interview out of Montreal? Why that would be an afront to the current "Your Montreal US Consulate Experience™"...okay, I'll stop and see myself out.

In all seriousness though, email first thing tomorrow. I have heard anecdotally that the waybill email tends to come later on in the day, but this may have changed. Is there an possible way to phone your Loomis outlet directly to see if the package made it's way in? I plan on calling mine tomorrow or the next day just for the heck of it to see if something was sent without an email.

UPDATE: As if God were smiling down upon me, I just received the email as of 5 minutes ago!

Just got my loomis email!!!!!!

Woo, now time to look at flights!!

I did at 9:05 just now too!

note its true that even though our status said ISSUED receive in 5 days (July 6), it was still sitting in the embassy until they order a pickup

once you can track your waybill you can see that the embassy only put out a pickup for it today at noon,

the Loomis picked it up in the evening around 6:39pm and I received an email for my waybill number at 9:06pm
