That's just normal. I'm not sure why you're expecting it to already have arrived. Since it's only been a week you are still well within the official estimate of 14 days. I doubt the consulate would take the time to even look into your case after only 5 days. I'd say start worrying if it doesn't come in after 3-4 weeks. Anything before that is just the standard shipping time.

Who knows. Maybe the system is out of date. Or maybe they only ship visas on Thursdays. It could be anything and I wouldn't put too much weight behind it. Just sit back and wait, everything is fine. This is normal.

Whatbif a better way to check the status?

I don't know. I don't know if anyone outside of consulate employees know when they ship visas.

 

We did our interview in Juarez and had the visa shipped to our home in Guadalajara, Jalisco. The visa took exactly 7 days to arrive and that was due to absolutely zero delays. This tells me that 7 days is the absolute quickest you can get it shipped. Guadalajara is a major city with a major airport. If we had lived in another city, even if it was close to Guadalajara, that would've added at least 1-2 days to the shipping time.

Again, nobody knows. I think I'm done answering questions about shipping time. It might take 5 days. That's normal. It might take a month. Hey, that's normal too!

Yes. When your husband gets his visa in the mail he'll also receive large manila envelope. He can't open this envelope, he has to present it unaltered at the airport or border. The corner of the envelope may arrive cut off, but that's ok.

 

So your husband arrive in the US, either at an airport or a land border, and he will present his Mexican passport, visa (the visa will be glued into his passport), and envelope. The CBP officer will stamp his passport. This stamp will serve as proof of his residency status, meaning he can use it for work and for traveling. If he wants, he can arrive in the US, get his passport stamped, and immediately go back to Mexico. All he has to do when he returns to the US is show the passport stamp. As you said he'll receive his green card in 2-4 weeks. After he receives it he'll use that to travel instead.

Are you and your son US citizens or residents? If so, then there's no reason you couldn't stay and come back. Keep in mind that in your husband's case, he'll be a US resident, and US residents are expected to live primarily in the US. Going back to Mexico for 2 months should not be a problem, but anything over 6 months will likely lead to questioning upon your return and might cause problems.

He's not eligible for citizenship until after 3 years assuming you were his petitioner. Assuming you guys have been married for less than 2 years then 2 years from now he'll have to apply for removal of conditions. This basically means he'll have to renew his green card.

 

You can stay in Mexico as long as they'll let you if you're a US citizen. If your husband wants to leave the US for more than 6 months at a time he'll have to apply for a reentry permit before he leaves. If he spends too much time outside of the US without a reentry permit he will be considered to have abandoned his residency and his green card might be revoked. Also keep in mind that in order to qualify for citizenship he would need to spend at least 18 months in the US out of the 3 years prior to to applying. So if during the next 3 years he spends 19 months in Mexico, he will not be eligible for citizenship at that time and he'll need to wait.

In the embassy website it says that it takes 2 to 3 weeks for a laser visa and 4 to 6 days for a visa to be printed in your passport. That is what it says on the consulate and embassy website

Jessica, welcome to the forum.  Everyone understands how hard it is to wait during this process, but this is exactly what everyone must do.

 

We realize that you're eager for your husband's visa to arrive, but your posting behavior on this site is bordering on spamming.  You have asked your question in multiple threads, including some that died years ago, and you've continued to do so in this thread despite having your question answered multiple times by a very patient fellow member.

 

If you make one more post on this topic in any thread, you risk having your account suspended for reasons of spamming.  You're allowed to post to say "visa received at last."

 

Members here respect your situation, but you must also respect the protocol of the website.

Yes they sent it out Friday and my husband just went to pick it up today! So excited! We bought tickets for him to be in the U.S on March 5th.

 

 

It is such a relief and I can't until this is all over. I hope everyone else's process will be smooth.
