Medical Exam DF - K1 Visa

[jessekins09 3]

We are applying for a K1 Fiance Visa and are wondering if my fiance can have her ASC appointment done at the consulate in DF. Also, we would like to know if she could go have her medical exam there and then just take the results with her to Ciudad Juarez when she goes for the interview. It would be so much easier and cheaper this way because she lives in DF.

As a extra note Elizabeth (God willing my soon to be better half) had her medical yesterday. The whole process was very smooth. She arrived at the medical around 6:00 yesterday morning, finished in about two hours and she came back at 2:00 in the afternoon and picked up the famous sealed medical package. Bio today and interview tomorrow.

A note about the medical. At the medical we both know she had to show her passport, DS260 confirmation page, and invitation letter. What we did not know is the medical also requires you to supply a copy of the confirmation of your upcoming interview at the Consulate's office. Elizabeth is an accountant so had 4 copies of everything including the interview confirmation. They informed her if she could not produce the interview confirmation they could not proceed with the medical. She pulled a copy from the file folder she had and they allowed her in.

I agree with you (Jesseking09) that it is crazy to travel to Ciudad Juarez. Elizabeth flew from Mexico City to Ciudad Juarez to complete this process When I joined the United States Marine Corps back in the early 70s there was a poster in the recruiter's office that said "We never promised you a rose garden" and had a picture and a big bad drill instructor yelling at a recruit. Boy were truer words ever printed!

Elizabeth and I have dated over 6 years and met when she was in Atlanta woking under her TN visa. We got engaged last July and started this visa journey. Mind you Elizabeth has gone through tons of processes with her TN and also travel visa. When this visa journey started I think a similar poster to the Marine Corps poster should be produced. It should say "We never promised the visa process would be easy, fast, or inexpensive" In the end every thing I went through to become a Marine was worth it and every thing we have gone through to secure the K1 visa is TOTALLY WORTH IT.

I pray God Bless everyone

Interesting. You did not used to have to show that for the medical. Glad she had it. Need to compile all the important information like that into one reference post for people. Thanks for sharing John! Hope everything goes smoothly for her tomorrow at the interview.

Thanks Kay. Yes I plan on posting the entire process and what is needed in Ciudad Juarez in order to help others.
