Wow, you guys are lucky to have your interviews at the new consulate, it looks WAY nicer and SAFER. The area where the old consulate operated was kind of scary and crowded with people trying to sell you services.

[moleary 2]

Yeah, I would agree with you. I saw that place on the taxi ride in. Scary indeed!

(BTW, douglas1, I'm not going to post a picture. I don't want to take the time to upload, and like I said, it looks just like yours!)

wow congratulations on your visas! We are still waiting 3+ years for our 3 month fiance visa because my fiance smoked a joint in December 2006. We have our 3rd interview scheduled in about 6 weeks, if they give us the run around again like they did in Feb 2010, we are just going to get married and start over.

*sigh*, I just cant wait until my fiance never ever has to go to Juarez the armpit of the world again - it's a very dangerous place and the US should be ashamed to make people go there to get their visas. It's a dump.

I just joined this website last week, I wish I had known about it before!! The information and insight that you wonderful people provide is a true blessing. We received our open invitation for interview in Juarez today! I'm leaving Sunday to meet my fiance. I'm so excited.

I remember reading your story. I am so sorry that you have not received the visa yet. Good luck on the next interview I hope all goes smoothly and they finally give it to you.

Thanks, yep still waiting. I just called the information # today and they said it would take about 3 months to get an appointment? We don't get appts, we are for a fiance visa - they give an open appt for that so that call was a waste of money. I just wrote to the consulate on the public inquiry form on their website because I get a fast turn around from them, never more than 10 days so hopefully they will just send me the open appointment letter. 3 more months to wait will surely kill me - this is not fair. Now they changed the drug ban law to one year from 3 years. We did our three years because my fiance admitted to smoking a joint once back in Dec 2006 so here we are still waiting. I hope I get the appt letter via email soon - when this is all just a bad memory, I will surely write about our experience.

Anyone know if the CDJ Consulate requires the DS-230??? I didnt see anything about it in the instructions.

Thanks!

we didn't bring one / they didn't ask for one.

[moleary 2]

Not for a K-1. The DS-230 is for Immigrant Visas. The K-1 is actually a non-immigrant visa, even though it 'feels' like an immigrant visa. A fiancee is not a 'done deal', hence USCIS is hedging.

We were approved on Tuesday July, 20th. Got our DHL package the next night at 530pm and crossed the border on July 22nd at 5am. Thank you everyone for your help!

My fiance just finished up her interview and they informed her that they also needed to interview me. This is really rough on my financial situation since I will have to fly my fiance out there again as well as myself and miss a week of work. Anyone else run into this? Their reason was that we havent been together all that long. We first started talking last June and I met her in person last early last November. I've visited her three times for a week each time.

Thanks for your feedback...
