I "reserved" an appointment on the website in the link but no time was given. Am I obligated to go, or could I go to another medical facility of the 3 listed?

You should receive a confirmation email within 24 hours and should list the time. You aren't obligated to go to the appointment by any means. Here is another link to the one right next door... (Blue Building) which was used by my close relative and he also had a good experience.

You should receive an email confirmation that lists the time within 24 hours or so? :)

I received a confirmation for 830. that is too early for me. on average, how long should the medical take more than 45 minutes and less than 2 hours? when picking up the results, until what time are people allowed to pick them up? my fiance has her biometrics scheduled for 3pm the same day.

8:30 was my fiancé (wife's) appointment too and it went fairly quick. It took roughly 1 hour max until I was called in to pay since I was going to use my debit card. Results (Dark brown sealed bag) is given after 2 PM and normally can be picked up till about close to 4 PM.

Biometrics will only last about 15 minutes.

Glad to hear. Yes, the appointment letter is generally received in the US about 15 days after it has been mailed off from the consulate. For a time line, the invitation letter in our case was mailed out on 12/3 and received on 12/18.

In regards to what was stated by the customer service rep on being able to print the invitation letter at the information window (Juarez)... Don't be discouraged as it can still be printed on-site as a last resort but I'm sure you will receive the letter within a week or so!

-Gera

You can choose to schedule an ASC (Biometrics) appointment at a location center closer to home such as what we did (Guadalajara) for my K-1/wife but I recommend if you opt to go that route, schedule that appointment at least 1 week prior to the Ciudad Juarez interview.
i want to know why.

my husband interview is on Tuesday but he has the biometrics appointment on Thursday in Guadalajara the week before his interview  at Ciudad Juárez. Help please.
