Good to see you are here. I see that you are going for your interview on the 25th. Would you be so kind as to post your experience, specifically with the DHL process getting your documents back. My fiance and her daughter are going on April 3rd for their medicals. We called the medical facility two times and talked to different people and they both said the if done on Friday, the child's results will be ready on Monday. So then she will go to the consulate on Tuesday the 7th and I hope she gets the visas back the same day or Wednesday. Thursday and Friday are holidays so if something goes wrong, we will be in a tough spot as far as what to do. I booked the hotel for Wed. night and the flight back on Thurs. afternoon(in case DHL is open and they don't have them back by Wed). I really didn't want to do this with a holiday week involved but it would have pushed our times back 2 weeks and we couldn't do it then. I think we are taking a little risk and trusting god that everything will work out ok, but it should be ok unless the DHL things turns out to take longer than expected. Thanks

Yes I will write about my experience! I leave and arrive on monday morning to get the Banamex payments done that day tuesday I will go the Medical then Wed 25 interview.... thursday will our extra day just in case because Friday the Consulate will be closed. We are also hoping it doesn't take more then a day or two.... Where do you plan on staying?? We booked at the holiday inn right next to the consulate it was cheaper to book on line. I hope you luck on your fiancee's trip

They are going to stay in the same hotel. It was like $54 per night through holidayinn.com Also we were able to buy roundtrip for 2 from D.F for $6,000 pesos. Not much more expensive than a bus and not mention a whole lot faster and more comfortable.

Hi

I'm just planning my trip to the Consulate in Ciudad Juarez, I'll be flying from Dallas.

If I arrive in El Paso on Monday at 3.00 p.m. Have 2 full days to have the medical, interview and collect visa. Return flight from El Paso on Thursday lunchtime with K1 visa in hand.

Thoughts anyone?

Thanks

Paul

I think you are cutting it a little close. So you will go to the consulate on Wed. and you may not get your visa the same day. They are using DHL to issue visas now. Perhaps the previous poster can say if they received it the same day or the next. I know one recent K1er didn't get it until the next day in the afternoon so that could cause serious problems with your travel plans. Also, are you going to cross back into the US with your K1 visa or do you have a different one? I don't know for sure but I would expect some delays crossing the border with your K1 since you have to give them all the documents from the consulate.

How long did it take for you to get your visa and passport through DHL? Same day or next? Also, when did you finish your interview? I've read that the time you finish your interview could help determine if you might get it the same day or next day.

That is exactly the timeline that my fiance had planned, but DHL didn't have his passport ready until Thursday afternoon so we ended up having to reschedule flights and book extra hotel nights. You might want to give yourself until Friday, just in case. Good luck!

Yeah Online prices are great! We actully called the hotel to book but THEY told us to book online cause it costed less, lol... ver nice of them. I was able to get a flight for abou $1500 pesos round trip and my other half booked one for $280 UD to El Paso. It is much better to fly the bus.. I really could not stand more then 10 hour on one...

I thought that they issued the K1 visa on the same day, or early the next day.

I'm British and applied as a resident of Mexico because I had been working there for 2 years. My FM3 expired a few weeks ago just as the visa process was picking up speed so I quit work and Mexico and I'm currently back in Dallas on a tourist visa.

I understand that the consulate is closed on Friday in Ciudad Juarez. The week after dosen't work becaude it's my fiances boys birthday (they'll be 7, I can't miss that). I jsut want to get it done.

So, now I'm thinking of driving down (651 miles) on Saturday afternoon / Sunday morning. That means I'll be ready for the medical first thing on Monday. Talking of which, can you pay for this in cash or bank transfer from the U.S.?

Thanks

Paul

Well my fiance did not get approved or denied, but that is another story.

In regards to timeline, Paul_Light, I would add another night to your schedule.

The fastest I heard someone get their passport was the next afternoon. But at the same time, another person, went to her interview on Wednesday, but did not get her passport until Wednesday of the following week.

There is no exact turn around time after getting your visa approved. I provided both examples just to show that it can go either way!. When I made my plans, I just purchased a one-way ticket and estimated how long we would be at the hotel. We did not purchase our return flights until we knew we were done with business matters. It was not surprising to hear hotel guests adding additional nights to their stay as they did not know when DHL will have their packet ready for pick-up. It was on a day by day cases!
