Have you logged in to the ACS website? You don't really get notified of the tracking number if I recall correctly, you have to login and check yourself. I think it took a handful of days for the tracking number to appear after the visa was issued, and since they ship it via overnight or 1-day shipping, we ended up getting the tracking number either the day of or the day before the package arrived.

Yes I have and it doesn’t show a tracking #. I had my interview on Thursday the 22nd I got out around 11:30 am I checked to see if the visa was issued around 2:30 pm that same day and it said it had been issued and printed but I still haven’t seen an update on the ACS website, I went to the center today but they told me it closed at 1pm since it was Saturday.

Relax, this is normal. Remember that the official estimated delivery time is 2 weeks. While most people get it before then some people have to wait. Yes, even if your visa has been issued you sometimes just  have to wait  Remember that this is the government so not everything is super fast. Have you ever bought something online only to have it delivered before the tracking number is even sent to you? Happens all the time. 

 

The fact that your visa has been issued is great so focus on that. What you're going through now is normal. In fact, there was a person asking the same thing just last week. She would ask every day and was very anxious. Sure enough she got her visa soon after.

I also had my interview on the 22nd at 7:45 and was approved. I’ve been checking and still have no airway bill number. It does say it was issued and printed and will be shipped but that’s about it. Have you had any luck since then?

No still nothing, I’ve been calling and no tracking number. One of the ladies that cleans at the hotel I’m staying at told me a couple received their visa exactly a week after their interview. I hope to receive it soon because I’m running out of money :/

I just called a number on the white paper they gave me at the fingerprint appointment and they told me they would request a tracking number and to call back later today or tomorrow to see if they e received it. So as of now I’m just going to wait and call later in the afternoon to see if they have it. I chose to have mine shipped to a DHL center in Autlan Jalisco. I’ve read that sometimes the tracking number isn’t even posted until DHL already has it for pick up and people have gotten lucky by going to calling, so my next attempt is to call the Local DHL and hopefully the have it there.

@Ronnie2018 

i called this morning and they told me a tracking number hasn’t been assigned to me yet. I chose to receive it in Juarez and I thought it would be faster but I’m getting worried now! I hope you receive yours soon. I want to walk over to the ASC but since I don’t have a tracking number I don’t know if the guard will even let me in to ask.

@Wild Sunflower hopefully you receive yours too because I know expenses add up really quick! That’s why I chose to come back home and wait for it here. I read so many peoples stories receiving it within 7 days all over the country but maybe that holiday really is the culprit of this mess lol Well if you hear any news let me know please.
