Passport delivery from Montreal

[Ash&Dave 2]

I just had my interview on October 19th. After about a week of waiting and not seeing anything on the CSC website regarding a waybill number, I emailed Montreal for an update on when I can expect to receive the passport back.

The very next day, I got a reply from Montreal saying the passport was being sent out with DHL that afternoon. A few hours later I got an email from CSC and Loomis Express letting me know that the package had been sent and they provided me with a waybill number.

The CSC website didn't update the waybill number and status of documents until hours after I got the emails. I found that tracking the package on DHL was much more effective than waiting for CSC to update.

Also, DHL tracking told me that the package was ready for pickup before I got an email or phone call from them. I was there at 9 am to pick it up the next day.

Hi there, thanks for sharing your experience... I sure hope I won't have to wait as long as you did! Emailing Montreal is probably not a bad idea, I don't want to do it too soon though, it's only been 3 days since the interview, so I gotta hang tight at least until Tuesday! Thanks again

That DHL/Loomis site confuses me.

Which option should my husband choose?

Permanently Immigrate to the United States - Register for Courier Services Only

or

Permanently Immigrate to the United States - Scheduled by NVC

He doesn't want to use the site to book any appointments, just get registered for his passport delivery.

Well, I think I answered my own question by reading the instructions, but it's still disconcerting to see under his name, "No scheduled appointments" even though he has one.

Hey guys!

I'm just a little confused about this process. I had my interview on Nov 1st and was told that the passport will be sent to me with the printed visa within 3 business days. Well I'm not holding my breath for it to be sent out today or even Monday for that matter, but I'm a little concerned after reading different answers on VJ. I've been checking the CSC website at least once a day to make sure that the waybill number hasn't popped up yet, I'm assuming that the waybill number will be right on the summary page! Once I have that number, I'll head over to dhl.ca and try to track it down? Is this the best way to do it! I have read some where that in some cases the passport arrived at the DDL location you choose before there way a waybill number on CSC summary page. I called DHL (loomis express) and I was told that they don't get any updates from the Embassy, once the passport has been provided to DHL, a waybill number will pop up on CSC's website and then you can track it on Dhl.com using that number. I asked if there was a way to pull up my account using the reference number that I gave them when I sent packet 3, she couldn't pull up my account. What was the significance of that reference number if they can't pull me up baed on that! When I asked her why, she said because we can only search our system based on waybill numbers. Something just doesn't add up. delivery

Here's the key question that I have: When Montreal hands over the passports to these folks at DHL, they will populate the WAYBILL field in their system which will consequently reflect on CSC website (our summary page which has applicant's passport number and MRV receipt number). Then we can use that waybill number to track the passport! What are your thoughts on this? Those who have recently gone through this, please clarify...thanks in advance!

Well, you are one day ahead of me at the interview, so I will be watching to see when you get your visa... I will post my news as well in a new topic so you will know, OK? I know that DHL in London told me they would call me and I put my phone number on their records when I mailed the packet 3 there. I don't remember putting an email, so I'm not counting on that. I did put email on my Packet 3 submissions but never received news of approval by email, only by post mail. So, If I don't hear something by Wednesday (one week) I will start called DHL in London and asking.

Good luck!!!
