CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!

Long overdue, great news!!!!

Once your petition makes it to Ciudad Juarez, they will send out a fiance packet to both of you. When she has everything necessary, she can go for her medical and interview - any weekday between 8-10 am except Mexican and American holidays.

You'll find everything on the CDJ website under Fiance Packet:

Good luck!

Felicidades!

Make sure to check out the information on the reviews of the Ciudad Juarez consulate. Many VJ members have great posts in that section with maps of the area around the consulado and everything (Junari, I believe has a map posted). It seems very helpful. I'm not at that stage yet, but I'm already planning ahead and getting some stuff ready. I'm just dying to be approved.

Congratulations once again :dance::dance::dance:
