Cost of Ciudad Juarez interview.

[fernanda08 1]

Hola!

My name is Fernanda and I am Mexican. I am in one of the last stages of my K1 visa Odyssey!

I am about to schedule an interview date at the consulate of Juarez. I found out you must pay a fee prior to making the appointment, something called the MRV? or something like that. It is a fee of 240 Dollars. I think it´s the visa Issuance fee. BUT I also saw in some research a fee of 350 for visa fee? is that assides from the MRV?

I am trying to make an estimate of "SET" fees I will be having to pay to the government, lets say, in ciudad Juarez. So, if I must pay these 240 dollars prior to scheduing my interview could you guys help me come up with what I will also have to pay in Ciudad Juarez? I know the costs vary from one country to the other, so I would appreciate Ciudad Juarez Prices.

I know that the K1 visa doesnt require vaccinations, but I will need them for the adjustment of status when Im in 'the US. But what is the price for the Medical Examination? I called and they said "We can't give you prices for security reason." I mean, really?! lol.

Now, the Hotel, food and Travel I know that depends on what hotel you stay in and where you eat and all that. Maybe for this I would appreciate suggestions on what hotel. I will be going with my mother, my fiancé wont be able to come with me, due to his job. He is a little paranoid of Ciudad Juarez, which I think is normal given the bad publicity, but I know I wont be going to night clus or bars hahaha plus I have heard it's very safe in the consulate area. Any comments on this? I mean, I know that it's not like there is bombs and ###### going on in the streets. So I'm not afraid. I'm from Morelia Michoacan, and we have a lot of bad publicity, but I can assure you that people live their lifes normaly and it is safe to walk around hahaha.

Anyways...Thanks a lot for any help!

Fernanda.

You can find your answers about fees here on this site. I will just offer some comments about Ciudad Juarez. This goes back about 15 years, so it's possible things have changed since then. The Consulate area is safe, at least the immediate neighborhood. There is a good motel located right across the street from the consulate, reasonably priced with cold a/c. I don't remember the name, but my fiance and I got a room just by walking in. It's also right next door to the medical center, which makes it even better. Be aware that like many embassies/consulates, it is a very busy place. Get in line early, before 6 am, otherwise the line stretches for blocks down the street. Good luck.

You are right.. that was exactly how much it was! thank you!!! I got approved!!! yay!

I have a question tho... I got approved on April 5 and came back to Morelia Michoacan, where I am awaiting my visa. They told me I must keep track of it on the usvisa-info.com webpage but I see this message...

"There is no information on the Waybill Number at this time."

That kind of freaks me out... hahahah Is there anything I must do to obtain the waybill number?? Thank you so much!!!

Fernanda!

Congrats!

Once the visa package has been sent, you will get a tracking/waybill #. It may take a few days when being sent to a different city. Keep checking back for your tracking info to show up. Once it does, you will be able to track it through DHL.
