The only thing that is mailed is the invitation letter stating they received your case and giving you the links to the instructions and websites you need. That is the letter that can be obtained from the information window at the consulate if you never receive it before you go to Juarez. Confirmation for filling out the DS-160, payment and interview appointment are to be printed out. Have him print out the email confirmation for the interview appointment.

I just had my appointment on December 23rd. I never received the invitation letter and neither did my fiancee in mexico. Just go to the window at the Juarez embassy to get the letter before you get your medical and ASC appointment. I got the letter in about 2 minutes. The line at the window is very short and either you or your fiancee can get the letter with your Jan 15 appointment confirmation printout.

The invitation letter gets you into the medical appointment which you have to do at least a day before your interview. The medical costs 190$. You will need the proof that you completed DS 160 for the ASC appointment. They will put a sticker on your DS160 to show that you completed ASC appointment. I needed 2 Passport sized photos, a copy of my last 2012 taxes, an original 134 Affidavit of support, an original Mexican birth certificate and obviously the passport. They asked her 4 questions. How long had she known me, did she have any tattoos, did she ever have any problems with the police, and when was the last time she was in USA. When you first get in the Embassy after the security check which they won't allow you the US citizen in they open the sealed medical paperwork which you brought which is sealed in black plastic. The person goes over it and then you go to the next station when they took the I 134 the DS160 and the tax return. They then sent her to the ASC center where she waited 20 minutes and they confirmed they had all the correct information. She then went back and was at another window and that's when they asked her to raise her hand and state she was going to tell the truth. The lady was African American and asked in Spanish if she wanted to speak Spanish or english. If he can have him do it in English she did and she thinks it went easier. They never asked for any proof of relationship or pictures or police certificate or check stubs or phone records, hotel receipts or any of that. The lady let her know it was approved and gave her a green slip of paper on how to get the DHL way bill number to track the visa. She was approved on the 23rd but as of today 11 days letter there is no way bill number yet I think because of the holiday. The embassy was 3 hours, her appointment was at 730 am, medical 2 hours, and the ASC appointment was about an hour.

Thank you so much! we are getting so nervous! he is flying into Juarez from mexico city sunday the 12th and I will be flying into el paso. I'm only going because I have done everything so I'm bringing everything and going to go over everything with him. I will also be paying everything. Monday I figured we would get up early and go get his medical. Tuesday he has his asc appointment then Wednesday the 15 is the interview. then Thursday go home. we know we will have to file a waiver. I'm just nervous about his medical because he has tattoos and I've heard some people give them a hard time.

Yep. The invitation letter, and confirmations from the DS-160 and appointments. Good luck! smile.png

Thank you!!!!

I am freaking out here because I never received an invitation letter, yet I scheduled my fiancee's K1 interview and biometrics appointment in 3 weeks. where exactly at the Juarez embassy did you go to get the letter printed for the medical? and what exactly did you present to them that allowed them to print out the invitation letter? Thanks. Yes my fiance is from Mexico and I am going nuts because I think I may have jumped the gun. All my fees are paid for too.
