Juarez Consulate

That's great Genny.

Little off topic, but Alejandra got her letter in the mail yesterday, it's exactly the same as what they sent me, and there was no "packet", just a web address on the letter, which is a DeaD link.

We are here. Victor the taxi driver that Sandi suggested picked me up at the airport (it went smoothly and he only charges $45). We are at the Holiday Inn. Roberto wanted to go to the clinic today but he got here at noon. You can only go to the clinic between 6-11. We just ate next door at Barrigas, that food isn't bad but it is a little expensive.

There are two clinics. One next to Wendy's and another one. One is called Examenes Medicos Consulares and the other is called CME. Does anyone recommend one over the other?

We are going to go to the clinic tomorrow at 6:00. We have heard lots of people here in the lobby that have been waiting for days for DHL to deliver the visa. I sure hope we don't have to wait too long.

Please let me know if you have an opinion about which clinic to go to.

Genny

I hope everything goes well tomorrow

Genny,

Glad to hear you experience is going good so far. Keep us posted and best of luck.

Oh yeah quick question is there any other hotels next to the Holiday Inn that look decent. I jut want to see what my options are.

From what I am told the interview can be done in Spanish.

Thanks so much. We are a little nervous but we feel like we are half way there. We got the results for medical. It only took five min to pick up. Isi was right Roberto just went around back of the clinic and picked it up. Then we went across the street to pay at the Banamex (ouch). We will go tomorrow at 8:00 to the line in front of the counsel. Isi do you think we should go before 8:00? The paper says between 8-10.

Thanks so so so much for everyone's messages of encouragement.

No Genni, I got there before and they sent me back. Get there at 8, you will get in very fast because there is a special line for K visas.

Once again, good luck you guys will get it!!!

Hi Andrea, how are you doing?

There are 2 on the same street, Microtel next to Holiday Inn and Quality Inn that is on the other side of the Consulate.

If you look at the pics I posted you can see both ... Quality Inn is all the way back.

Isi,

I am doing good. Is your transition going smoothly?

Are the other two hotels good? I looked online and Microtel is cheaper so I was considering it, but I am not sure if it is a good idea.

Andrea,

Microtel looks fine, it is right next door. Roberto paid 1900 pesos at Banamex.

Isi thanks so much for the encouragement.

We went to a movie tonight.

Is going pretty good, can't complain my first birthday here was great ... now I have new puppy!!

Well ... Microtel might be cheaper but when I was there didn't see a lot of movement not even from the people supposed to work there, was able to see from my room window and in 4 days just saw 2 cars ... at least in Holiday Inn you can recognize faces and a lot of staff inside and outside.

I wouldn't reserve there ... my opinion.

[gerrymeridamx 2]

Happy Birthday Isi! So glad it was a good one.

Roberto is in the consulate. They didn't let me in. We went right at 8:00. Last night when we were going through all of the papers we took out the second copy of the DS 156. The first thing they asked us for even before he went into the building were the two copies of the DS 156. So we came back to the hotel and got the other copies. When we got back to the consulate there was a new person at the gate and they didn't let me go in. I'm going to wait here at the hotel and thing very happy thoughts. Perhaps I'll even start the AOS paperwork. Isi did you start AOS yet? Did you get the shots here or there?

Thanks Genni!

We are going to marry in a month so haven't started the AOS paperwork and also because we had lots of expenses and since I'm not working is going to take a little bit more.

Tried to get the shots in Mexico but after several times going to the clinic with no response I quited ... heard that here are quite expensive right?

Good luck and let us know how it goes. Keep yourself occupied b/c I know I was so nervous just waiting. I kept walking up and down the street in front of the consulate

How do you like the hotel?

[gerrymeridamx 2]

Isi,

I am not sure how much the shots cost in the US but I am sure Roberto is going to have to get some there. He is missing only about 3. Here in Juarez the shots he would have needed cost between 30 and 50 dollars each. They didn't even give him the option of shots because he was in a K1 line. They put K1 no vaccines on his letter from the very beginning in the morning. So when we get to KY he will get the shots there as soon as possible.

Margaret,

I am so happy we are at this hotel. It is so convenient and has free internet. We have gone back and forth between here and the clinic, the consulate and the mall for the past few days. I was so happy we stayed in a hotel this close when we forgot the copies of the DS 156.

Roberto has been in there for two and a half hours, which was just enough time to fill out most of the AOS forms
