i don't think you are allowed, looking at the embassy infro juarez,if you go wit her see if they let you in your a us citizen,if not give her your us passport to show to the io officer that my us citizen fiance is just out side the door do you want to talk to him,it's worth a try no guarantees, i hope the best for both of you good luck,

No Thaiv. I didnt go. No one is allowed in the building. The interviewer did ask if I was there and she said no, that I had just visited her a month ago and that I was busy working and could not get time off from my job. Its not a big deal.

I wasn't there at the time of the interview either and they didn't even ask my fiance if I was or not. I would be wary of sending your passport in, they say to give your fiance your original birth certificate OR passport for them to look at to verify citizenship but they took my birth certificate and won't give it back!

You REALLY don't want to travel to CDJ if you don't have to..... They have a little problem controlling the daytime gun battles and jay walkers down there. Good luck to your lady. She will win the consulate many times over and bring home the prize....:thumbs:

By the way we were there for almost 3 weeks. We went out frequently in our car, taxi, and on foot and felt very safe. I don't deny there are bad parts of the city but the "consulate zone" is well protected so don't worry any more than you have to.
