The interview day is the last day I plan to spend in Ciudad Juarez. The interview is at 9am. Thoughts about booking a flight at 7.50 pm flight leaving Juarez? Will this be enough time? Thoughts and opinions? 

Thanks

never never book a flight  till you have your visa

Even if you wait for your visa in Juarez, it could take several days for you to be able to pick it up at DHL in best case, it could be even weeks. I wouldn't make any flight arrangements before you have your visa in hand.

Are you the USC?  If so, then your plan is fine.  

 

If you’re the beneficiary, are you talking about a flight to the US?  If so, that’s not realistic.  Best case scenario you are verbally approved, there is still processing to issue the visa.  This takes days, weeks, and in unfortunate cases, months to a year or more.  Do NOT book a flight to the US until you have a Visa in your hand.

 

If you’re talking about flying elsewhere in Mexico, then sure :)

We chose to leave the next morning, but had the visa mailed to us via DHL in Mexico. We received the tracking number, and it came a few days after we were home in Tijuana.

Where did you find your tracking number? I have been checking the link of the green paper and I just can't spot it

I think it was on one of the papers they gave us, but I can't remember what it looked like. I do remember that we had chosen the specific DHL location and we called it to double-check and see if the package had arrived.
