Problems with Ciudad Juarez HELP!

[GueraKristina 1]

I am hoping someone can help me with some pretty important questions. My fiance visa was approved. Due to the fact that my fiance is Mexican, i am dealing with the ciudad juarez consulate. When i called to get some more information as to why i never got a packed of information, and that only my fiance did, i was told that i did not need a packet of information and that only my fiance would be filling out the papers that he got in his packet which consist of the CDJ-401 Intend to marry affidavit, and also the DS-156. The guy also told me he had to get a police report and a medical examination, which i already knew. However, the guy at the ciudad juarez consulate told me that only my fiance would be having an interview and i wouldn't, he also told me that i WOULD NOT need to do the I-134 affidavit, and that i would just need to submit proof that i can support my fiance. But i thought that that was what the I-134 was for? The I-134 is an organized form, and because i am going to have co-sponsors for my fiance, i was looking forward to using that form, whereas, the ciudad juarez consulate completely confused me. If someone could help me understand what is going on that would be great.

P>S Preferably someone that has done the fiance visa through the ciudad juarez consulate would be awesome.

2nd problem,

Just looking ahead and wondering, after my fiance and i get married within the 90 days that he receives and arrives in the united states, we have to apply for the I-485, however when we apply for that, does that mean that he can continue to stay here even after his fiance visa timeline expires? (I am talking about after we are already married, and file for the I-485, does that mean that he can stay here without problems?)

Hopefully someone can relate and help me

Ok- I will do my best to help you, but someone else more experienced can feel free to jump in and help! My fiance will be going to his interview hopefully next month, so we are at the same stage as you.

The I-134 is not REQUIRED at Ciudad Juarez, but most people use it because it's a good way to organize all the information and show your financial situation. I will be using it, and also having my co-sponsor fill one out. You, the American, are not allowed into the interview with your fiance (as far as I know). So, yes- just your Mexican fiance will be having an interview. He will need more than just the DS-156 and CDJ-401 forms. He must also fill out DS-156K and DS-157 which can be found on the Ciudad Juarez embassy website.

And yes- after you and your fiance get married in the United States, he may wait here while they process his application for permanent residence. He doesn't have to go back to Mexico while he goes through the process.

Check out the "Juarez Consulate" thread- it's a lot of pages, but read through some of it. I think it will make you feel more prepared and help answers some of your questions!

Good luck!

Thanks so much for responding, you deffinately cleared up some major speed bumps, but i did go to the ciudad juarez site, and under fiance visas, i clicked on the fiance packet, which "says" that that is everything that the fiance is going to need, fill out, understand, bring with him or w/e everything that he needs to do is supposedly described in that packet. And i looked on the juarez site under fiance visas for the other paper work that you said i was going to have to fill out. If you could let me know if i should get my eyes checked, or if they are in a different place that would be great.
