Finally documents in Juarez, now what???

[Carla V 43]

Hi. We were approved a month ago in USCIS, and our package get and left NVC. Now is in Juarez, but I have a lot of doubts:

1. How long it last now to receive the package for our interview?

2. Is taking too much time to have an appointment in the consulate?

3. Is still an open date for the interview in Juarez or that changed?

4. How many weeks did you wait until reception in Juarez to the actual interview day?

Thank you all =)

I am not sure how long it is taking to schedule the ASC and interview appointments right now. I do know that it has not been an open appointment system for over a year now. Here is how it works for Juarez:

You need to get your CDJ case #, invoice # and beneficiary ID # from the NVC before you can fill out the DS-260 by calling 603-334-0700

Juarez will send the USC and the beneficiary in Mexico a letter. Sometimes the letter does not reach the person in Mexico because of the crappy mail system there. If the only one that receives it is the USC, it can be mailed or scanned and emailed and printed out by the beneficiary in Mexico. It does not have to be the original.

The letter you receive points you to the sites where the instructions, forms and place to schedule your appointment and interview is. The letter is the only 'packet' you will receive. You should go to the links listed in the letter(which I am posting below). The letter will be needed by the K-1 applicant at their ASC, medical and interview in Juarez, along with the confirmation page from the DS-260.

Here are the forms: http://ciudadjuarez.usconsulate.gov/fianceforms.html , instructions (very important to follow and they explain a lot): http://photos.state.gov/libraries/ciudadjuarez/231771/PDFs/packetk1may.pdf ,schedule ASC: http://mexico.usvisa-info.com , and CDJ info: http://www.visajourney.com/consulates/index.php?ctry=Mexico&cty=Juarez

While waiting, you can read through the reviews to see how the procedure works and what documents were needed by others applying for a K-1: http://www.visajourney.com/reviews/index.php?cnty=Mexico&cty=&dfilter=5
