Waiting on fiance packet from consulate in Ciudad Juarez

[rubyshoes 0]

I called the 900 # and was told it would be 2 weeks until the packet would be mailed out. I called back after 2 weeks and was told it would be another 2 weeks OR 5-8 months. They said they are busy and will be focusing on other types of visas. Someone please tell me they are crazy and it will not be that long. The consulate recieved the info Oct. 23rd. How long did other people wait? I can't get any info on this last wait. Please help, I was already packed and ready to move. Do I unpack and prepare to wait?

The people who answer the phones and email at CDJ are clueless. It took 4 weeks and one day for me to receive my fiance's packet. You also need to give yourself time for the medical. Be forewarned that things do happen at the interview and unfortunately, not everyone walks out with their visa on the same day. Hopefully you will be fine, but chances are you have at least 3 more weeks before you will receive the packet - I think I would unpack.

I waited 2 months but it seems like they have been moving faster over the past month. Look at Juarez thread under Foreign embassy for people's timelines. I believe it is taking just a couple of weeks now for packet to be mailed. Hope everything goes smoothly for you at interview. I would wait to pack and quit job, etc until after you get your visa. It is not 100% guaranteed you will get your visa at the interview.

Just some advise. Good luck!

Thanks so much for the reply. I have been like a stalker on every one elses timelines but it is just frustrating because everyone who filed when I did or the consulate recieved the info already has their visa now!! AAAhhhh!!!. I am pretty confident I will get the visa because we have a baby together and have lived together for the past two years. Oh my god I haven't even thought about actually being denied! That would be insane. Yeah and also I emailed the consulate and they can't find my papers!! What a joke!
