Help - Had visa interview for CR1 - missing documents

[clarios 0]

Hi all,

I've been helping my dad with all of the paperwork for getting a visa for his wife who is in Mexico. She had her appt in Juarez yesterday morning. It seemed to go fine, and she said the officer was great, but she was told she was missing a couple documents (my dad's 2011 income tax return and his divorce certificate). Unfortunately my dad did not give her all of the papers and had these with him in the waiting area, but the officer said she would just have to mail them in via DHL asap and they would complete the process. They had her keep her passport, but said she would not need to come back for another interview and it would all be completed from Tijuana where she lives.

So my dad and wife sent in the paperwork immediately - just this morning before leaving Juarez. My question is what happens next and how long can they expect to wait?

It's awful that she didn't get immediate approval, but I feel confident she'll get it once they receive these. I'm just unsure of how much this delays the whole process!

Any information would be great! I've been desperately looking on all the forums out there, but am having a hard time finding information.

Thank you!

No-Problem

If your dad sent the documents via DHL this morning, just track the package until its accepted! After the package is accepted call the next day to confirm!

My wife had to bring in documents the next day after her interview with a Blue-Slip and had her Visa in-hand in 4days total!!

Thanks for the quick info! It makes me feel a lot better! I'm only worried because she kept her passport. They didn't tell her to send that in with the documents, but maybe she should have. They said once they got the documents they'd send out the info on what to do with her passport to get the visa. Does that sound normal?
