Juarez letter still has not arrived

[Tony23 11]

Letter was sent out July 9th and still I have not received it. They said it take 4 weeks well its still not here. And I work for the postal service.

My question is how long does this invitation letter actually take to arrive. From the date letter was sent. How many days does it take.

It took another member 40 days to receive theirs. It seems they mail them out in batches. I would go with 4-6 weeks, which is what it has seemed to take for years now.

Tony,

It took mine over a month to arrive. The letter was printed in the Consulate's office in Ciudad Juarez but it was mailed from their PO box in El Paso a month later based on the post mark. As Kay said it appears they print the letters all month long. They must have someone put the letters in their car once a month and drive across the border to El Paso and mail them. We had all but given up on getting the letter and was going to secure one at the information window at the Consulate's Office in Ciudad Juarez and the next day the letter arrived in my mail box in the US. Please note you can only get the invitation letter at the Consulate's Office in Ciudad Juarez. You cannot go to any other embassy in order to secure the letter.

Ours still hasnt arrived, mailed out since jun 17th! We had even done a report and said it would be mailed out again :/ We decided to schedule everything and fill out the forms, we are in juarez right now, my fiance has the interview this tuesday aug 6th. We arrived thursday and went to the information window and asked for a copy of the letter, they only asked my fiance for his name, didnt even asked for his passport!! And gave it to him right away! It makes me mad we could have done this weeks ago! And all for waiting for that letter

Guess what came in the mail today ? Yep. My letter that I was eating for. Dated July 10th. But I already made all the apts and interview. That remains the same right. I don't have to change it since I had all the info ?

Do I send my fiancée the original or will a copy do as we'll

Yay! No need to change anything, and a copy is fine. Just make sure it prints out dark enough and is totally legible.
