NOA2 and Juarez

[michaelp711 0]

Hello everyone, I am new to this forum...although, I should have been year some time ago. I am currently in the K1 Visa process with my fiance who is from Mexico City, Mexico. We have been engaged for two years, (spent between her visiting me in NC on her tourist visa and me visiting in Mexico), and together for a total of 3 1/2 years. Currently we received our NOA2 approval notice via email, and I am waiting for the hard copy to come in the mail. I have hired an attorney for this process, but have had little luck in concern to the process and my own questions. So, if anyone can shed some light on these concerns, please let me know.

First off, I am being advised by my attorney to send my fiance to Ciudad Juarez with a copy of the internet's 'USCIS approval' in two weeks so that she can have them print out her letter and be able to go to the medical appointment and interview. For me, and from what I have read...this isn't a good strategy. Shouldn't we wait until the Consulate has sent package 3? What forms are available to her if she shows up at the door with only the approval? Also, my attorney tells me that I don't need to be concerned with the I-134 form, since that will be dealt with later. Does that make any sense? I assume they are wrong, as one would think they need the I-134 right away.

Also, since I received the NOA2 and now it should be moving to the NVC, how do I check to see if they have received it? How do I know when they have sent it to Juarez and when do I know Juarez is ready to send her the packet 3? Also, with everyone talking about the mail system in Mexico? How do you get the packet faster? Is it a wives tale that it takes a long time? Most timelines for Juarez looks like a month wait from sending packet 3 until the medical and interview, is this true?

Any help in concern to this matter would be appreciated!!

Thanks,

Michael

CDJ has there own distinct processing.... best bet is for you to visit there website.... some of what your attorney is telling does not sound so unreasonable from what I know of CDJ.

Thanks for the quick reply. It just sounds so strange to walk up to the embassy window with so little. I think a lot of it has to do with the mail system in Mexico too, from what I know it isn't very reliable, 'unless' you have a good address...and since my fiance lives in a nice home and a nice neighborhood with a sister who routinely receives mail there from Sun Microsystems, (her employer)...I believe packet 3 will find its way. Why is CDJ so strange? I haven't read too much in concern to how the interview process is there and what routine questions they have for you? Anyone able to shed light on that?
