K-1 Fiancée Visa Packet Three

[ChazAZ 0]

Hey, I am currently waiting for the mail to be opened at the Juarez Consulate so I can receive my open appointment letter. Is that packet (Packet Three) mailed to me or my fiancée in Mexico? She lives in a pueblo outside of Hermosillo and since the mail system is somewhat different in Mexico do they send the packet to the petitioner? What has the experience been of other petitioners with Mexican beneficiaries? I know the application was sent via DHL from the NVC in New Hampshire on June 18th, 2008. Also does anyone know how long it will sit in the Consulate before someone opens the application does the background check and mails out the packet three info? I have also read that most of the forms can be downloaded and filled out ahead of time (I have downloaded them)

If a packet is mailed it goes to the potential visa applicant, not the USC....

For CDJ, it gets mailed to both the petitioner & the beneficiary. CDJ works a little differently from other consulates. When you receive your packet, you can scan it and email a copy to your fiancee in Mexico. She may or may not receive her packet. Another thing you can do is, when you are positive that it has left CDJ (you can call their 900 number, and it charges $1.25/min or something like that to see if they have mailed it. "Fiance Packet" is what they call it, instead of "Packet Three"), your fiancee can go to CDJ's information window at the consulate and get the open appointment letter - but you'd have to be POSITIVE that the packet has already been mailed out.

The Fiancee Packet is located at: http://ciudadjuarez.usconsulate.gov/immigr...visa-forms.html

And I'm not sure if you're aware yet, but there's a CDJ thread here: http://www.visajourney.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=37896

It has 1.5 yrs of really helpful info, so try to read as much of it as you can before your fiancee goes.

It goes to the USC. I got mine 4 weeks and 2 days after everything was received at the US embassy in Juarez. That is a little on the longer side. Most of the people that file to Mexico get it in 3 weeks, at least from what I have seen on peoples time lines.

Thanks for the insights. I have heard that CDJ does it differently. I hope it is 3 weeks becasue that will be sometime next week.

We hope to be in the US by Labor day. eeeh, either way, all in good time.
