Juarez Consulate

[YGandMAT 0]

OMG! I just called the juarez and they have received my package! BUT they said that there are alot of people waiting before me and that I might have to wait months!!!!! even after my NOA2 expires!!!!! WHAT SHOULD I DO????

As long as your case is still active, which it is, don't worry about the expiration date. They will extend it for you. I called the embassy two weeks ago and they told me the letter would be sent within 4-8 weeks. February 23 will be 8 weeks for us and we haven't received anything yet. I hope the person you talked to was exaggerating! We set our wedding date as April 18, thinking that would give us ample time to receive the invitation letter. I hope we aren't wrong about that...

I really hope you are right! I was hoping for our wedding to be under a cerryblossem tree in DC and they only blossem about the last week of march and the frist week of april...... I am kind of a freak when it comes to wanting to know about dates and I have read most of the time lines from people that have recieve there NOA2 after July and the Aropx date is about 8 to 10 week for package to be sent ..... which is not a good thing...... and this guy made it sound it i was going to be waiting another 6 months!!!!!!!

Good luck to both of you. You never know what to expect from the Juarez consulate....

So just to clear things up, i dont have to get his vaccinations translated, right? Matt said no, but albert said maybe i should call to make sure. Just wanted to make sure. Also, can somebody point me in the direction of a good example of a birth certificate transation, maybe on this site? Please? Thanks, ill prolly be back with more question.

[GueraKristina 1]

I am currently filling out the I-485, it asks for alfredo's current status, i was going to put 'legal', anybody else have any suggetions or ideas what i should put if that isnt correct?

[GueraKristina 1]

The I-485 also asks if alfredo as searched/inspected by an immigration officer, ...... do i put no? I dont know in what context they are looking for. Alfredo didnt have any problems, he wasnt frisked or searched at all, so i guess i would put a no, right?

[GueraKristina 1]

Also, for the form I-131, what class is alfredo in? I was looking in the directions, but it doesnt really give me a choice, and im assuming i should just put down K-1, Fiance visa, any body have any suggestions?

[GueraKristina 1]

For the I-864, it says persons you are sponsering for this affidavit, 1, because of alfredo, but it say if i am currently married to put a 1 in another box, (indicating 2 different people that i am supporting, 1 for alfredo (the person i am sponsering) and also for alfredo as my husband, what do you guys thing or suggest?

* I didn't translate my vaccination card (cartilla de vacunacion and "carnet" from IMSS, I'm sure your husband knows about that) and had no trouble with them. I had my birth certificate translated back in Mexico by a professional translator approved by the Mexican gov., but I think that if you are fluent in both languages you can do it in any word processor and you should sign it, but I'm not sure about this, do more research!

* I-485: Current USCIS Status: K-1 Visa Holder

* I had no idea which question you are referring to, but the rest of the questions are pretty specific.

* I-131: Class of admission: K-1

* I-864: If it's just your husband and you:

10. Enter the total number of immigrants you are sponsoring on this form from Part 3, Items 8 and 9. (1)

21. Your Household Size - DO NOT COUNT ANYONE TWICE

Part 5. Sponsor's household size.

Persons you are sponsoring in this affidavit:

a. Enter the number you entered on line 10. (1)

Persons NOT sponsored in this affidavit:

b. Yourself. (1)

Hope this helps. Also, check the example forms in this website.

I just called the embassy and they told me they sent Aldo's invitation letter on January 21...less than 1 month from when they received it. I think the person you talked to was WAY over-exaggerating. You may be able to get married under that cherry tree after all!

Yes there are many, here is one that if you book ahead you can maybe get a ticket only paying for a the IVA(taxes) that are in the range of like 200 to 500 peso but most time you have to pay like 1300 to 1500 which in US $ is like $100 (in this economy

Pita and I arrived in from Guanajuato to Juarez Sunday afternoon 8th of Feb at

the Holiday Inn express. That afternoon we located the bank, the medical office,

got some food and prepared for the morning visit to the clinic. The next day we

arrived at 8am and to a line of hundreds of people and found out that the clinic

opens at 6am! Pita went in and was taken by bus to the old clinic downtown. We

are assuming because the new clinic just cannot handle the heavy traffic of the

3000 plus who come every day. (I asked an officer at the embassy and he said

that they average 3000 people a day?) She got back around 1pm. The next

morning we went to a trailer next to the new medical clinic at 6 AM to collect her

results. There is new construction next to this trailer so I am assuming that soon

everything will happen right there.

The scheduled appointments start at 6 am at the new embassy. We arrived at

7:30 thinking we would go to the beginning of the line with our “open”

appointment. Pita was put in line with the 8 AM appointments and waited her

turn. She came out around 2:30 – her interview went fine! They said that her visa

would be waiting at the DHL office in two hours. The DHL office is about a 15 min

drive from the Holiday Inn and the shuttle driver took us there at 4:30 but it wasn’t

there. We went back at 6pm and it was there!

The next morning we took the bus back to Guanajuato and will be leaving in a

week for San Francisco through Houston. Whew! Next marriage and then we will

start the AOS process. If you don’t have a car staying at the Holiday in isn’t a bad

deal. It is pricey if you’re on a budget, ($85 a night) but you get an all you can eat

breakfast and being to walk everywhere is a big plus. They also have internet

and a printer.

Thanks to everyone who shared their experiences and information on this web

page. The embassy seems a tad behind on all the information needed.
