Day 13 and counting

I'm not entirely sure what the issue is? It was issued within 1 day of approval, then received in hand on the 3rd business day. Sounds pretty normal to me for CDJ (and very fast overall).

The issue was not necessarily with CDJ consulate really. The issue was poor direction/ advice given by legal counsel that we would have received packet 1-2 days after interview (if approved) to have visa in hand. I intentionally booked the hotel for an extra week after interview as a contingency (which we ended up needing). I am sharing my experience so that others don't "bet the farm" the process is only going to be 4-5 days TOTAL. I mean I guess it "could be" if everything fell within the right sequence and timelines... Prepare for the worse case scenario, hope for the best and don't forget to look heavily at a calendar when planning and take into account holidays, weekends, etc. as this delays the progress.

You're  almost there:

 

Go to this link (it's just one page before this) and create a topic and ask your question. Someone here would know better about your situation. Good luck

nuggets321, thanks for the tip. A good friend will go thru this same process in Juarez in March. She's planning for 2 weeks. I'll pass this info along to her.
