JUAREZ Visa status ISSUED Feb 28, 2020

[Chubbz 3]

Hi,

 

My husband's interview was Jan. 21, 2020, and then he was administrative processing 221g while they requested documents twice. His status on CEAC finally changed to ISSUED on Feb 28, 2020. He's been gone for 7 weeks and so now we are waiting on the waybill number to be able to pick up his passport with the visa. Has anyone been approved in Juarez in the last week or so? If you were, how long did it take to get your passport/visa picked up in Juarez?

Hello! I don’t know how long it takes but a lot of people say it’s within 10 business days. 
I have a question for you... when your husband went to the appt, did they give him a 221g blue sheet with what they were requesting?
It only took 7 days for them to approve it? My husband had his appt 1 week ago and we’re still  pending the document I submitted to be approved/issued.

Yes, they gave him a blue 221g sheet at the interview requesting records for an arrest, which were already in the packet. But the lawyer had kept the affidavit of arrest out because he thought it would be detrimental. So we returned the documents in two days, the consulate made a note they were received the following week. 2 weeks later, they sent another 221 g for the same arrest (that letter took 7 days for my husband to be able to pick up!), we returned those documents and it took about a week and a half and then it switched to issued this past Friday. We received the waybill number this afternoon and he picked up his visa. He's crossing now.

Hey I have a question, the whole time you guys were waiting for the review of your missing 221g did the ceac status say refused? I'm currently stuck in Cuidad juarez because on the 12th of March i got a 221g slip asking for missing documents. I just wanted to know if the updated you the whole way through it. I sent my documents since the 13th of march and still have no response.

The status showed Administrative Processing until the day it changed to Issued. Have you called the information number to check the status? The CEAC site would just have date changes, but when I called the number, they could tell me if a new request for documents was sent, and when they were received, etc. I'm so sorry you're stuck in Juarez. My husband came back March 2nd and when the border was closed, I panicked just imagining him being stuck there.
