You have to do NVC Electronic Processing because it is mandatory for Juarez. Foolow the links below.

This is Saylin's guide for Montreal but it is basically the same. I urge you to read it.

http://www.visajourney.com/wiki/index.php/NVC_for_Montreal_Beneficiaries_%E2%80%93_Electronic_Processing_and_New_Online_Forms

You have to send an e-mail to OPTIN for electronic processing (EP) that is the first thing you do. Read the guides.

EDIT: ooops I just saw that you are doing K1 and not CR1

Once a visa petition has been filed, the USCIS service center sends it to the National Visa Center, which in turn forwards it to the Embassy or Consulate nearest the foreign fiancé(e). The Embassy or Consulate will notify the foreign fiancé(e) that a petition has been received, and provide information about how to schedule a medical exam with the panel physician as well as how to schedule an appointment for a visa interview at the Embassy.

At the visa interview a Consular officer reviews the documents that both the American petitioner and the foreign fiancé(e) have submitted. The Consular officer looks for evidence of a relationship, and asks the foreign fiancé(e) questions to determine that a bona fide relationship exists. Typically, Embassies request that fiancé(e)s bring evidence of their relationship to the interview, such as photographs together, correspondence between the two, evidence of remittances to the fiancé(e), phone bills showing calls to each other, etc.

Once the interview is finished the Consular officer can issue the visa, if he is convinced of a bona fide relationship that meets all legal requirements. The officer may also request that further evidence be submitted before making a decision. If the Consular officer does not think the relationship is bona fide or finds some legal impediment to issuing the visa, the petition will be returned to USCIS and recommended for revocation and no visa will be issued.

A K1 visa is printed on a self adhesive label, similar to a tourist visa, but annotated with the name of the petitioner. The label is placed into the fiancé(e)'s passport. It is valid for one entry into the United States for six months from the date of issuance.

Call Juarez consulate within 3 weeks to find out if your case has been already processed and they have sent appointment letter. Once petitioner or beneficiary have received it, you can schedule ASC appointment (fingerprints)and consulate interview.

Here is a link to a Cd, Juarez forum...

http://www.smf.juarez-mexico.com/

this site is used by lots of people coming though Juarez for all different types of visas. There is lots of information on Hotels, taxi drivers who are safe (I am going to contact a driver named Victor Garcia he is based in El Paso TX but will pick you up & drive you from Airport in Juarez or El Paso to hotels & all over...here is his # in USA 915-726-0957 a personal friend of mine recommended we use this driver)

I have done lots of research on hotels & think we will use La Quinta, another good hotel is Holiday Inn Express.

We do not have our packet from NVC/Juarez yet so I can't help you on that specifics but lots of VJers have coome thru Juarez recently .

Hope this helps a bit, Kim
