Yo acudí a la Clínica Médica Internacional (es la que está exactamente en la esquina), el trato fue muy bueno y están muy bien coordinados. Los resultados estuvieron ese mismo día a las 2 de la tarde. Recuerdo que llegué como a las 7 y como una hora y media después ya estaba fuera.

Algunas conocidas de VJ se quedaron en el hotel Ibis, dicen que es pequeño pero está bien. También hay otros hoteles muy cerca del consulado como el City Junior y Quality Inn.

I know how you are feeling right now! My husband’s visa app was in January 17, 2012. I just came back from our waiver appt in Juarez. Look there are many hotels close to consulate. My tip is to check with Travelocity and tripadviser.com. The rates are constantly changing. Same with flights! I recommend going to El Paso and taking a shuttle service to your hotel. I have taken two shuttle services and felt safe traveling alone. The first was $60.00dls one way the one I just took I would recommend, The driver is an older gentlemen who is very nice and respectful. I can’t remember his name but I do have a card I can let you know if you like his info. E-mail me at rosalovaton@gmail.com. His number is (915) 346 2655. He also advertised in the El Paso airport website:http://www.elpasointernationalairport.com/2009/grnd_trans_shuttle.html he only charges $50.00 dls. He is willing to arrange transportation even before your trip so you have everything set up when you arrive. Tell him Rosa from Arkansas gave you his information. I was so happy with his service I want him to know I appreciated the service.

Hotels: Well the first time I stayed in Juarez in January 2012 I stayed at the quality inn. I looked until I found a good price. Here is the link for hotels near the consulate: http://www.tripadvisor.com/Hotels-g150780-Ciudad_Juarez_Northern_Mexico-Hotels.html

Here’s a list of all the hotels I saw nearby:

  1. Quality Inn Ciudad Juarez
  2. Microtel Inn & Suites Ciudad Juarez
  3. City Express Ciudad Juarez
  4. Holiday Inn Express Ciudad Juarez
  5. Hotel Ibis Juarez Consulado
  6. City Junior Juarez Consulado

The nicest I would say is quality inn, but I stayed in the City Junior hotel which is right across the street from the consulate. You can cross the street either by bridge or cutting across. I liked The City Junior because the mall was right across the parking lot. There are many good food places around American as Mexican. I recommend Molcajetes. The employees are great, food and food prices were very good also. There are many places that will deliver to the hotels at very affordable prices. As I mentioned before they have a two story mall with a movie theater, small casino and Arcade center. We had so much fun between stressing.

We just kept in mind of safety precautions like not staying out when it’s dark, No flashy clothes and accessories. There are also ATM’s at the mall and a money exchange place nearby. All these places are at walking distance. There are so many people just keep to yourself and don’t let anyone convince you that they can help you. The consulate and the clinics and services are all on the same side of the street and easy to get to. There are many security officers at the clinic gates that they can direct you.

For the medical exam try to be there early to get out early, do not eat anything before the physical. They don’t mention that until you are there. Good thing we did everything early. The vaccines can get costly; there is a list of the average prices in this website: http://travel.state.gov/visa/immigrants/nvc/nvc_1335.html

Well hope this helps.
