Juarez Consulate

[nm123 0]

Ok guys, this is the newest news, hot off the press.... or cell phone, whichever u prefer

Alfredo was in a rush everytime i talked to him, i guess i would be too, but he went to the bank in his home town and got the money out and closed the count without any problems to my knowledge.

He also told me that he was going to take the bus from Toluca to Juarez, but that something happened??? and that he was going to have to try to make it to the 3 o'clock bus in mexico city.

I just got off the phone with him and he said that he was waiting at the bus station in mexico city waiting to get the 3 o'clock bus to juarez, so all sounds fine so far, besides the fact that we are a couple of days behind, i would rather be behind than have something worse happen.

With the way i see it, alfredo should be in juarez (from mexico city) in 18 hrs, so he should get there around 9 am tuesday morning, by the time he gets to the hotel and stuff, it will probably be too late to go to the medical appt., so he will just be getting situated and organized tmrw when he arrives in juarez, and i would expect his doctors appt. to go down on wednesday.

Will let you guys know of any changes or updates. I have to get ready for work and go to the store on the way to buy alfredo more minutes on his phone so we can keep in touch. (who woulda known that a pay as you go phone woulda worked in mexico without any crazy charges)

Good luck to Alfredo!!! You guys are almost done.

Good evening,

We got our NOA 2 from CSC, an email tonight from CRIS at 8:30pm. Thanks for all of those who have been writing on this forum, it's been helpful.

Now we only need to interview and make it through the waiver process.

Happy holidays, and good luck to everyone else.

Congrats! Soon you guy will get the fiance packet!

If I remember right, Confucian's girl is having her interview this week? Good luck! I hope the med results goes well this time.

Update:

My gf was supposed to have all of her medical work done today and be able to go tomorrow for her interview. However, I forgot to take into consideration how slow the system moves. Her papers are not ready yet, it could be ready this week, maybe even a little longer. So, I will keep the forum updated on the situation, I am guessing either an interview this Friday or sometime late next week.

After she gets her visa, she is going to Acapulco to see her mom for a week, so I probably won't see her until early January, maybe the middle of January, depending on how quick she gets interviewed.

I just talked to alfredo via txt message, he said his cell phone battery died, thats why i couldnt get ahold of him, (i called him like 5 times last night, and like 7 times today), i was starting to get worried, but he said he is fine, and that he should be in juarez by 4:30, his mom called me last night from mexico to ask what time alfredo should be arriving in juarez because she has family there, and she wants to give them a definate time so that maybe they can go pick alfredo up from the bus station and take him to the hotel, so we will see how that goes.

Alfredo also wants to know if im going to make the reservations for Holiday inn express Las misiones, but i told him that i wanted to make sure that he could find it first, because i dont want him to be lazy, and be like well, this hotel looks fine, and go to a different 1 and have me lose my money.

I told him that he should find holiday inn express las misiones, and just pay for it out of his pocket because he has enough money to do so. I can extend his reservation online if need be later. I really want him to go to the holiday inn express las misiones because they have free breakfast and a free shuttle and they are close to the new consulate.

I hate having to be at work when alfredo is actually arriving in juarez. It would be so much easier if i could just wait for him to text me and let me know that he found the hotel, i could jump on the computer, and make him a reservation as he is walking through the doors of the hotel, so that everything is ready and less expensive.

I told alfredo that because he is probably going to be getting to the hotel around 5pm today, if not later, he should just descansar y preparar for his doctors appt tmrw.

Im sooo nervous, i hope he arrives ok, and i cannot belive that he is finally having his doctors appt tmrw. I hope everything goes ok, and that he can get his results the same day, and that there are no delays because of the approaching holidays.

Everybody PLEASE wish us luck and pray that we get approved and in and out of juarez ASAP so that i can unrap the best present ever this christmas

You're totally on top of it! I think everything will go well. You've prepared him and he's going to be a lot more ready than some of the other people who show up with missing info/paperwork.

It's crazy that the new consulate is up and running. I wonder when people will post photos?

[GueraKristina 1]

OK, here is the scoop. Alfredo arrived in juarez, and called his aunt emilia, she went and picked him up, and insisted that he stay with her while he was in juarez. (free room and board, and its with family so you cant beat that right?)

They also said that they would drive him to and from all the appts. and anything that he needed to do while he was there.

Alfredo went to his appt. this morning, and sent me a text message at 6:20 am, their time and told me that he was in the line for his doctors appt. and by 8:30am their time, he was out and said that they told him to go pick up his results by 2pm.

He was all happy because he was like they said i could do my consular appt. today too as soon as they give me my results, and i was like NOOO u cant, for fiance visas it says on the invitation letter that it is an open appt. but that he has to go from 8-11am ANY working day. Just because it is an open appt. doesnt mean that there isnt a certain time that they do those visas.

Why would the nurse tell him that? I just want alfredo to do what it says he is supposed to do on the paperwork so he doesnt waste his time and so something bad doesnt happen.

The letter specicially says ' Please notice that from the date of the recept of this letter the beneficiary of the application has an open appointment at this office any working day from 8:00am to 10:00am, except for mexican and american holidays and immigrant visas; adninistrative days (last friday of each month)'

So maybe she just didnt know right? maybe she just didnt know specifically that he was doing a fiance visa, so she just told him that?

Hey GueraKristina,

I also recieved a call from my wife this moring about 5:00am thier time, who also went to have her medical done this morning. The thing is my wife has a set appointment set for 12/19 11:45am.

Good luck and thanks for posting.

[GueraKristina 1]

I wish you and your wife the best! I hope alfredo gets approved tmrw!!!

I'll keep my fingers crossed, and I hope he gets approved! Keep us posted. Best of luck to you!

GueraKristina, wouldn't it be nice if they changed the policy and he could go?

Is there only 1 medical clinic now, that's inside the consulate? Or do people still go to 1 of the 2 that are on the same block as the old consulate?

Eavila and GueraKristina, good luck to both of your significant others!! Almost done.

[GueraKristina 1]

I think both the new and the old are still open, although the old 1 is next to the old consulate, that is no longer open, so i doubt many people go to that one if it is still open. Alfredo went to the new clinic because it is right next to the new consulate, so it is more convenient.

Ok, so i talked to alfredo yesterday and he said that he went back for his results and he had them in hand. in a sobre he said, so all sounds well. He told me he would be going for his consular interview today, but that he wouldnt be taking his cell phone with him today because hes not allowed?

I think maybe they tried to tell him he couldnt have that, and maybe take it, or tell him he had to pay for a locker, or something so he wasnt going to take it today. So when he sends me a message today, either ill be back on the site crying, or ill be back on here, with a responce that will change my life forever.

Today is the day of truth. I reallllly hope he gets the visa. If he doesnt, i dont know what im going to do.

[GueraKristina 1]

im def. getting the fidgets, i cant sit, im wondering around the house, i keep looking at the clock, ive already called him twice, and got his answering machine, which means hes not back to his aunts house yet.

DAMNNNIT, why cant they speed it up??? Im about losing it waiting on the news. The applicants usually get their results at 11:45-2pm, if they get in there at 8. So it is now 12:30 there, so im starting to get antsy and anxious. It sucks having to wait for these kind of answers.

How long do they usually take????!!!!!

Hey GueraKristina,

Calm down, everything will be alright!! My wife also went to pickup her envolope at the clinic yesterday afternoon and was told that her Friday apointment was changed to today, right now acually at 11:45am so I know exactly what you are feeling right now. Good thing is that she has a ride and left her cell in the car so when she is done with her interview I will know what happend.

Relax.

[GueraKristina 1]

As far as i know, they are only an hour behind, but its making me mad that they take so long. I have work at 5:30 here, so if alfredo cant get ahold of me before then, then hes gna have to spend another day in juarez because im not going to be able to buy his plane ticket until i get home from work.

Does anybody know what time that office where alfredo has to turn in his Packet of papers that he gets (that contain the I-129, and all the other paperwork that we have sent in so far) opens in the morning? Just asking because if they are open 24-7 then i wont hesitate to buy him a ticket that leaves at like 7:15am, i just want to make sure that he has enough time to turn those papers in and get his I-94 and everything done so he doesnt miss his flight.

Im not going to buy him a plane ticket until i know he is approved.

Knowing alfredo hes going to completely forget to text or call me. Like yesterday, i texted him, and when he didnt send me anything for like 2 hrs, i called him, and he was like ohh i got ur text, and i was like WHY DIDNT YOU SEND ME ANYTHING BACK??? UR IN A DANGEROUS PART IN MEXICO, IM WORRIED AND WHEN YOU IGNORE ME, U MAKE ME WORRY MORE AND PISS ME OFF!!!! (but at the same time, if i ignore him, he gets mad!!! ) Im just ranting because im mad, and nervous and anxious at the same time. I just want him to get approved so that i can yell at him in person, instead of over the phone.

[GueraKristina 1]

today, when they approve him , he will be given a packet of papers in a manilla folder that he cant open. He has to turn that in when he goes to cross the boarder so that he can get his I-94 stamped into his visa or w/e, i want to know what time they are open in the morning, and until what time at night.

Juarez is 2 hours behind eastern time. I live in Michigan, it is 2:40pm right now (12:40pm in Juarez). Trust me, I know, my fiancée has been in Juarez since June!

Diana is just missing one signature from the head doctor at the embassy to sign her paper, once she gets that, she will be ready to interview.

GueraKristina--I think you should just wait until tonight when you know for sure what is going on with Alfredo before you buy his plane ticket. Cause maybe the place he needs to go will be closed and will cause a 24 hour delay. He has free room and board so one night is not going to make a difference. Good Luck!
