CEAC states "Ready" with 2 updates to date, what does this mean and how long?

Hi, my spouse is in Juarez, had the interview on 4/24/17, was told by the interviewer that the case was approved and that the visa would be sent via DHL in one week, also gave a green slip that stated approval and where to track the status. It's been a week with no updates and the ceac website still shows ready, they changed the update date to 4/28/17, but that's it. We tried calling, but they said no updates, just check the ceac website.

 

how long does this process typically take and does the change in the date reflect anything?

Thanks, this is very helpful...we have been waiting 9 days now and they said it would take a week, this is why we're are concerned...but guess we have to wait and see.

Actually, the info shows up on this site: https://ais.usvisa-info.com/en-mx/iv

 

You can also try going to DHL office with your passport

 

EDIT: When my husband had his visa approved in Juarez, we received it at our DHL office two days later So definitely check it out!

Thanks, they collected the passport to print the visa within it, so we don't have it..they said it would be sent back to us via DHL in a week, it's been 8 days so far and the ceac website still says READY, but the "case last update" did change on the website, looks like it was updated to 4/28

Hahaha, oops, I did not mean passport! Of course they have it. Sorry, morning brain... I meant any other form of I.D.

 

Also, like I said, the CEAC website was hit or miss for me, but your tracking info shows up on that website I told you about (https://ais.usvisa-info.com/en-mx/iv). So go check there!

No problem, we went yesterday right before they closed and was told they normally cannot check without the waybill number, but she was kind enough to check anyway and there was nothing there.

Yes, you should check direct with the DHL tracking number they tell you it can take one or two weeks but the cases I know they only took 3 days to get the packet back since they ship locally, that packet is the one you tacke to the POE and they stamp a visa in his passport, he can entry the US with that stamp and wait for the green card to get mailed over there

Thanks we have checked that website, no update...I called this morning, they said they would put an inquiry into the status and for me to call back later for an update...fingers crossed.
