Juarez Consulate

thats what I think NOT normal I am at work so I have not talked to him in details to see what they told him but this so much more stressful because I have all sorts of ideas going through my head

Don't stress... Everything will be fine.... I have found that not 1 case is the same, so there is no need to worry!!! Best of luck!!! I will be there more than likely until next week. When are you planning on coming down??

Did whomever take the medical get sent to the Psychologist? If so, not good. If he was not sent to psychologist, I wouldn't worry about it.

My fiance's son who is 3 got sent to a pschologist. Should I be worried??

They asked her some basic questions also, but it seemed more for him... Now I have ANOTHER thing to worry about!!!!

Don't worry unnecessarily! If everything is normal at home, there should be no issue (relax!).

For everyone who is going through this right now, I just want to give my 2 cents, take it or leave it:

1. No 2 cases, either the medical or the interview, are exactly the same, so don't worry excessively if your case varies either a little or a lot from other cases. It's only after the interview that you can take action if something didn't work out, but there really is no point losing sleep or giving yourself an ulcer BEFORE you even find out anything.

2. Because of the consulate being closed due to swine flu (and the fact that it seems something changes all the time with them), on the consulate side and DHL side things might be a little weird for a while. It also is very likely affecting the medical exams. Starting out after the period where they closed there was no backlog, but now that everyone that planned to go in the first couple weeks of May are probably all going now, there will more than likely be a wait (which will only increase before it starts to lag off a bit more).

3. Be positive (as hard is it may be). Juarez has a high approval rate for K-1's that are straightforward (meaning legit relationship, no drug problems/mental health problems/past illegal entries). Your positive attitude will have a HUGE effect on how confident your fiance(e) is in the interview. This is probably the most important thing.

BY far the best advice I have received in a while!!!!!! We needed it too as I am sure we are questioning EVERYTHING as we all do when you are a day from the interview!! Gonna take her to a nice dinner and try to have a great evening before the big day... More to come tomorrow...

We have a question about the online 156 form used by Juarez. After you fill it out and press "continue" to generate the PDF, do you print it out and then sign the paper copy/copies?

Thanks in advance.

Yes. It's not really online in the sense that you are transmitting data. It's only online so that it can generate a unique barcode for everyone. The new 160 actually sends data but, as far as I know, Juarez still isn't using it. Be sure you print out two copies or photo copy the original before you sign it. You need to have two copies with the same barcode.
