J&E- on 2019-09-10 said:Hi Maria & Tim, congrats on your approval!, hey I had the interview and was approved a week after yours and I'm kinda getting impatient that I haven't received anything from the consulate yet 3 weeks after, have you already received anything? it's almost a month after your interview.
Hey there happy to provide context. Should update it. We had the interview 8/12, and the visa ended up arriving on 8/30. After two weeks (8/26ish) we started calling and emailing all of the relevant numbers, so who knows if that was helpful for kick starting it. The visa, when it arrived, showed that it was issued 8/28 (printed then?) even though it was marked issued in CEAC on 8/12 right after the interview.
Good luck! My perusal of other timelines showed that it took anywhere from 2 to 25 days typically to receive the visa/passport back. No idea why there is such variance.

Submit a public inquiry directly to the consulate too. I don't know if it's right to do immigrant or non-immigrant here, but here's a link. https://mx.usembassy.gov/embassy-consulates/ciudad-juarez/visas-2/public-inquiries/ Good luck.

*Notice about estimates: The estimates are based off averages of other members recent experiences
(documented in their timelines) for the same benefit/petition/application at the same filing location.
Individual results may vary as every case is not always 'average'. Past performance does not necessarily
predict future results. The 'as early as date' may change over time based on current reported processing
times from members. There have historically been cases where a benefit/petition/application processing
briefly slows down or stops and this can not be predicted. Use these dates as reference only and do not
rely on them for planning. As always you should check the
USCIS processing times to see if your application
is past due.
