It shows 'issued' on 21 March 2018, but we still have no visa in hand!  I started calling everyday once we reached the 12th working day and they continually tell me to call tomorrow, has anyone had to wait this long to receive their visa from Ciudad Juarez?

No! after complete panic I emailed several email accounts and received a response.  It informed me that they put a hold on our package asking for additional information.  After sending my fiance the information, he mailed immediatley and received an additional notification that he would received a package.  So... after another week of waiting he received his instructions to send affidavit of support, my bank records, employment verification (although they already had my tax return information) and return his passport that he received in this mailing.  They received the package once again yesterday, so now we wait to see is this satisfied all requested documents.  Our future is in their hands and other than pray, stay positive, comply and wait, there is nothing else we can do. :(

Hey y'all~

 

I must say this has been a experience not to forget and I pray those filing paperwork when you get the package in hand it will all be worth it because we now received our package.  After picking up package (employee told him not to open, but it was a very thick package) my fiancé returned to get his belongings from Rosarito.  He decided to go cross at the Port of Entry in San Ysidro around 9 p.m.... not sure if what the normal process time is, but it took him 2 hour and a half hours (fingerprinting, inspection of luggage, information entered in to computer and a few questions and advice) being admitted.  Good luck to you all in your process and wish me luck as I am looking forward to completing our process of becoming man and wife.. :P
