Successful Visa Renewal at Ottawa

[Kartssa]

try in DHL website, I have heard the there is delay in US site reflecting latest info.

when I did my renewal last Nov in Ottawa, I was able to see the update in DHL website the day after my appt day about 6:30 PM, and picked it up the following day. good luck. keep us posted.

Indeed, DHL = Loomis Express now in Canada. Loomis website updated just past 10pm, usvisa updated at 11pm. Picked up my passport a few minutes after the DHL center opened (8am) and went straight to the airport where I'm waiting for my flight. They tore off the bottom I-94 attached to the I-797 (for someone who asked me that earlier).

Good luck all, couldn't have been easier though just wish it was faster. 3 nights here is way more than I wanted.
