They better have our packages on Tuesday, cause I saw them haul in 4 big bags of dhl packages when they said they were closed.. This is something else honestly... I couldn't be more frustrated with this unorganized system they have.

I don't know how it is that we have been waiting since November, and there are people that get there packages before us when they had their interview after us... that is not right.

Just went to CAS and they said they were closed. #######. A big load of DHL packets had arrived as soon as I got there and they said they weren't letting any more people in. That they were closed tomorrow too and we had to wait until Tuesday morning.

Nothing yet. I don't think they will close tomorrow tho. It's saturday and they work saturdays. I am going go check at CAS right now and see if I have any luck.

Sounds good, let me know how things go. I'm going to head there at about 330

Anyone get any news yet?

So even if we were to get a tracking number after hours today, there is a window of opportunity to pick up the packet tomorrow, right? 

I just talked to a guy outside the consulate that has been waiting since Friday. He sais that CAS told him they will be closed tomorrow..

This similar to what happened to my wife's.  Hers was originally issued on the 14th and then it was updated on the 18 but still issued.  We received a tracking number on the 20th.  You might receive it today.  

In your case, as soon as you received the tracking number, was the package ready for pickup at CAS?

Whoever I spoke to on the 703# line made it seem pretty hopeful that a tracking number should be ready today (was originally Issued on 12/15, but they say 12/19 now). They said that after a few business days should be good so to keep calling back, and said that they’re actually open to call until 8pm even.

Let's keep our fingers crossed !

No...the last update we saw was just the one that said issued a couple of days before we received the tracking#.  I really hope everyone gets theirs today.

When did you receive your tracking number? How many days after your status changed to issued ?

Im thinking they are trying to get everything done by the weekend. They issued a visa to a person that is staying here with me the same exact hour after he walked out of the interview. His just waiting for the tracking number. CAS told me to keep on calling them because at any moment I would get a tracking number. CAS is also slower tho to catch up on the status, they say that the embassy issued and printed the visa yesterday (wednesday) but I saw the issued update on tuesday morning. 

Mine changed to issued Monday around 4, so hopefully there is some news tomorrow. When did the person that is staying with you have his interview?

I have read this on many post that the consular tends to issue tracking numbers on Fridays and that is when I received mine so I have high hopes for you all tomorrow. 

Do you think we have a chance of getting it by Saturday? I would like to spend Christmas with my family..

Thanks for the updates from Juarez/CAS. We’re in Oaxaca still calling everyday. We were Issued as of 12/15 evening and the last updated date changed on 12/19, but still on Issued. Today the agent for the 703# said the issued date he saw was 19th and he’s not able to see it Issued on the 15th. Told him I had screenshots from 12/15 and hope this doesn’t mean there’s even further delays. He said so as far as he can see our wait time for tracking number is from 19th, and hopefully we have a tracking number today or tomorrow, but no guarantees.

These people are really unhelpful which sucks.. I really hope we don't have to spend Christmas here...

Me neither. Good thing they deliver on saturdays hopefully we get something before christmas.

The people at CAS say that if nothing comes tomorrow that we will have to wait until Tuesday or Wednesday... This sucks..

I got my status changed to issued on Monday around 4. Still haven't received a tracking number or anything.

Any updates with any of you? I don't want to be here for Christmas...

Yeah it sucks but after being in AP Im just thankful to have the status issued. Yes that is awesome it is better to wait with family. I know thats helped my husband a lot. 

Around what time did your status changed to issued? The consulate closes at 4:15, I was wondering if that is when they stop working or if they still issue visas after they close. Thanks in advance!

Have you received any email or tracking number?

I have noticed that everytime i send an email or i call to ask about my husbands case, the date on CEAC website gets updated. I think its because every call or email they receive they have to open it to check and it gets updated itself.

That's weird. I usually call very day and go to information every 2-3 days and this is the first time its changed for me.

The woman at the info window told me there was not problems with the consulate's system anymore; however, she said that I still had to wait for the 2-3 week mark since my AP date online which was December 1st. I checked online on the CEAC website today and my case last updated changed from December 1st to December 12th, but the status is still Administrative Processing. I believe this is a good sign though. Whenever your date changed it means they are working on your case. Lets hope I get issued soon along with all of you guys!

I am going to go ask at the information window in a bit. I will let you know what they tell me.

Has the consulate even began to issue visas since they reported the system was down? My dad asked the worker outside of C.A.S yesterday if they were receiving packages and his response was "not many". My date switched from Ready to AP on December first and has not changed..

Hello,

I had my interview November 15 of 2017 and was told my visa was approved; however, I was missing my DACA card so I was given a 221g form. Once mailed along with my passport, I was notified by DHL that the consulate received my documents November 28th. On the CEAC website my case was changed in this order: Administrative Processing >> Ready >> Administrative Processing. It was last updated December 1st. I have been waiting in Juarez for about a month now and when I went to the consulate on November 6th to check my status with them, they said the system was down and everyone is being told they would have to wait 2-3 weeks. I just wanted to know if I'm stuck in a rut or if I should receive my visa soon? I already missed Thanksgiving, and wouldn't want to miss Christmas with my family as well.
