Do we have to register the appointment? I didn’t see that in the email I was sent …

I didn't see that - I don't understand why an appointment that's already been made would need to be registered.

Appointment has to be made so that consulate can return your passport back to you after placing your visa on it.

Also please allow 24 to 48hours after receiving the interview letter to register your appointment.

I thought they were mailed... Now I'm really confused.

Right ok I see that now in the pre interview  instructions! My big issue is that my passport expires in March so I’m going to have to renew it before the interview.  I assume I just go upload the new passport into CEAC once I have it with a note or something? I’m hoping I don’t have to totally redo the whole DS-260 and resubmit it and that it won’t mess up the appt registration and courier service stuff.

Congratulations! I do have a question, did you pay for expedited return of your passport and have you received yet?

Thank you!! I actually did pay for it, my interview was on a Friday so obviously there were no updates throughout the weekend but today (Tuesday) my status on CEAC changed to "issued" and then a few hours later (at 11:30 am) I received an email from Purolator with my tracking info. I should be receiving it by the end of this week but I'll update you when I do.

Thank you. Are you in Canada as well?

I am yes! I forgot to mention I mainly chose to pay for home delivery because when you pay they use Purolator. I've had many packages delivered with Canada Post and Purolator and have had way speedier experiences with Purolator but everything is circumstantial of course.

Ok I figured it must be Canada when you said Purolator. We are going to to that route too. Our interview is on a Friday as well. Hoping to have passport back by that Thursday.

Thank you :) My interview was at 9:15 am and I got there considerably early at around 8:55 am. I did not have to wait outside at all I was let right into the security and then straight to the room where the interview was conducted. I don't think it's really necessary to be as early as I was, 5 minutes prior would probably suffice!
