Mexican Interview Dangerous?

[dnick 0]

Hello, I received my NOA2 and am planning all of my next steps. Of course I am looking forward to completing every step so I get a Visa. But my fiance asked me if she would have to go to Ciudad Juarez in Mexico for the Interview? I do not know and so I thought I would ask you. She lives in Jalisco which is very far away from Ciudad Juarez, so I would not think so. But she believes that all K Visas are handled there. She said it is a very dangerous city, and in truth this past weekend there was a very violent attack killing three at the consulate. I told here I would check with my group of experts here to see what they thought. Will she have to travel all the way to there for her interview? Any info would be helpful. Thanks.

Yes, all family based visa interviews in Mexico take place in Juarez.

Juarez is it. Statistically it is more dangerous than Baghdad...on an election day...outside of the green zone. Murders tend to be heavily concentrated on people that, basically, need to be killed, but there is too many innocents getting it also, including a couple of US consulate workers this week. Be careful

Wow, that is awful. That is crazy that they all have to go to just the one dangerous city, I thought it would be in their own state. Ok, well now that that information is confirmed, first thank you.

Second, when we get to that point, do they have a time-line on this site or somewhere else from the date of the interview, until they give the approval? I am thinking for safety and distance reasons, maybe I should try to be with her. But that would be only possible, if they approve in a couple days. Again thank you for your help!
