Biometrics outside Juarez

[M_&_R 77]

Hello,

My fiance has a biometrics appointment in Mexico City on Tuesday 11/8. He has an interview scheduled in Juarez on Wednesday 11/14. Is that enough time for the biometrics results to get to Juarez? Do they give you the results to take with you, or is it on a computer, or does it go inter-office between ASCs?

Should he just reschedule and do the biometrics in Juarez? He expects to arrive there on Sunday 11/11 and do the medical on Monday 11/12. I've read people often do the medical 2 days ahead and the biometrics one day ahead, and then the interview, doing everything in Juarez.

Any input is appreciated.

Thanks,

M

We faced the same issue and decided that to avoid even the smallest possibility of having a problem, that we would do the Biometrics in Juarez. We went on a saturday and without a doubt, this was the quickest part of the whole process. It took about 5 minutes. We went very early, I think it was 6 or 6:30am. Then Medical on a monday and Interview on the tuesday, no issues.

I don't imagine you would necessarily have a problem doing the Biometrics in MC, but in our opinion, it was better not to take any chances and just do it all right there in Juarez.

Thanks for the reply - I about gave up on this post!

He'll get to Juarez on Sunday, do the medical Monday and the interview Wednesday. I'm thinking it may be possible to ask the embassy Tuesday if they have the results, and if not, do it over.

There's not a separate fee for it, is there? That might be an issue - if it's part of the visa fee they may not want to do it twice. I don't really want to try rescheduling, in case it affects the interview date, since they were both scheduled together.

Hard to guess what might go wrong.
