I applied on June 13th and was received June 16th. On July 5th my documents were mailed and I received them July 11th. It was about three weeks to be approved. I did however send a letter explaining that I could only travel during the specified dates due to my work. I submitted a letter from my employer stating that I needed to be back to work by August 23.

I also helped my sister complete her application. She sent her packet exactly a week after I did and it was received June 23rd. Her application is still being reviewed. She however did not send any documentation to have her application expidated.

We were planning to go to Mexico together but if she doesn't get approved by next week I will have to buy my ticket and go by myself
