Hoy fue un gra dia para nosotros, fui por la visa de prometida K1, llegamos a las 7:45 a.m. nuestra cita era de 8:00 a 10:00 a.m. (en la carta que el consulado te envia te indican la hora) es importante que no acudas antes porque no te dan acceso.

Te formas y te piden la carta de invitacion del consulado y el pago de banamex (en este filtro no te piden ninguna documentacion extra), posteriomente pasas al interior donde te revisan tu bolsa con scaner, te imprimen un no. con el que te llamaran para revisar tus papeles y te diriges a un patio interior donde tienen pantallas y aparecera tu no; una vez que aparece en la pantalla te dejan pasar con el primer consul quien te solicita las formas 156, 156k y la 402, las fotos, tu acta de nacimiento, el examen medico, nuevamente el comprobante de pago y tu pasaporte los revisa de manera rapida, posteriormente pasas a otra ventanilla donde te tomaran las huellas dactilares (estos dos tramites no toman mas de 20 minutos es muy rapido si tienes toda la documentacion a la mano, ordenada).

Posteriormente te sientas para esperar que vuelva a aparecer tu no. en la pantalla y pasar con el segundo consul el cual te entrevistara (realmente no espere mas de 10 minutos) el consul tiene ya lista una carpeta con toda la informacion y comienza a hacerte preguntas acerca de tu relacion en pareja como por ejemplo:

1. Cuando y donde se conocieron

2. Donde nacio y donde vive actualmente tu prometido

3. Si este sera tu primer matrimonio y el de tu prometido tambien (en mi caso mi prometido es divociado)

4. Si tiene hijos cuantos tiene, sus nombres y edades

5. Cuando planemaos tener nuestra boda (yo conteste que no teniamos planes todavia debido a que dependiamos de que nos dieran la visa y el consul dijo que eso era bastante razonable)

6. Me pregunto tambien desde cuando nuestra relacion comenzo a ser romantica.

7. Hizo una pregunta con truco, queria saber si planeabamos tener alguna ceremonia en Mexico yo le comente que debido a este tipo de visa no podiamos tener ninguna clase de ceremonia a lo que el consulado asintio

8. Otro truco que utilizaron fue preguntar.... tu novio es de Mss but is not so i answer not he is from...Michigan.

9. Si habia viajado anteriormente a USA y habia tenido problemas con aduana o con la policia.

Un consejo sean lo mas sinceras que puedan, sino saben algo simplemente digan no se o no hemos hablado al respecto.

En mi caso toda la gente del consulado realmente me trato muy bien, ambos consules creo que eran menores de 30 y fueron muy amables, inclusive bromeaban conmigo.

Al final unicamente el consul comento Felicidades su visa ha sido aprobada, pase a pagar el envio con DHL, por cierto no olviden llevar efectivo para hacer el pago del envio por DHL, ya que solo aceptan una o dos tipos de tarjeta que en este momento no recuerdo cuales son.

Por cierto mi tramite finalizo alrededor de las 9:50 a.m. lo que significa que solo estuve alrededor de 2 hrs. para realizar todo el tramite.

Mucha suerte a todos, espero que les vaya tan bien como a nosotros!!!!

Well now we are still waiting. DHL only says "Shipment Acknowledged yesterday (tues) at 11:43 am, but nothing else. Marisela got approved later in the day, but already has her visa in hand? What's up with that?

Can you ask how she got it the same day? Maybe if you ask for it nicely

Ciao,

HEY CHECK THIS OUT EVERYONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I CALLED CIUDAD JUAREZ JUST A FEW MINUTES AGO AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT THEY HAVE FINISHED PROCESSING OUR CASE.....THAT THE LETTER WILL BE MAILED OUT IN 10 DAYS....THEN I ASKED HIM WHERE THE LETTER WOULD BE SENT AND THE GUY SAID THAT IT WOULD BE SENT TO MY GF ADDRESS IN MEXICO,,,,,,BUT I WAS TOLD THAT I WOULD ALSO GET ONE IN THE MAIL....

DO YOU GUYS KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THIS?

I ASKED THE GUY IF WE COULD GO ALREADY....BUT HE SAID THAT ONLY AFTER THE LETTER HAD BEEN SENT AND THAT 30 DAYS HAD PASSED AND WE STILL HAD NOT RECEIVED IT.......

ANY GUIDANCE ON THIS?

IM A SO HAPPY THAT THEY FINALLY GAVE ME VERY GOOD NEWS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!YAY

i walked to the consulate to go inside and ask them, and they said I have to wait until morning to go to the information window.

Has the consulate not sent it or has DHL not picked it up or what? I want to get the hell out of here. I'm sure they'll say, it hasn't been 3 days yet....blah blah blah.

Congratulations!!

But I have to admit I am SUPER jealous. I called DOS today and they told me Juarez still hasn't received my paper work yet. I was like #######. I knew they had so I wasn't worried. I called a second time to DOS and a nicer lady told me Juarez was still processing my case. I wish I had an invitation letter too. UGGGGHHHHH

Chinman,

As you know Roberto waited from getting his visa approved on Friday until yesterday afternoon before DHL received his visa. DHL told him it was the consulate. Roberto called non-stop and actually physically went to DHL every day (except Sunday). They did update the website tracking right away when it was ready for pick up. He had already called them a moment before they updated the website and was on route when I got the message from DHL on my blackberry.

I hope you do get out of there soon! Hang tough, maybe it will be just one more day.

You know, they told me the same thing.....and decided to call Juarez again after 1 week and a few days after last time I called....then they informed me that they were done processing our case......heck I might just get it over with and run over there........im tired of waiting.

Good luck though and have patience (i know, we dont have it anymore)

Take care,

Ernesto

Why do you guys think that when I called Ciudad Juarez.....they guy told me that the letter would be sent to my gf in mexico. He said that the system was showing that......so does that mean I will not get one here in the U.S.? I told him that the mail in Mexico is sloooooooow and he didnt seem to care or know.

Thanks everyone,
