DS3032 and Juarez

[rjm65 0]

My wife's case was forwarded to CDJ in June 06. Last December I emailed CDJ and they reported interview wait times between 9 and 11 months. We are at month 8!

We filed a DS3032 listing me as her agent with the NVC, it went in right around the time we sent in the Affidavit of Support early last year.

Will CDJ mail me a packet stating when the interview is scheduled or will it ONLY be mailed to my wife in Mexico?

Thanks in Advance!

Hi, Raymond. Is the 3032 the "Agent of Choice" form? If so, they should sent you the packet at the address you gave them. As far as I know, they don`t send anything to Mexico. What ever they send to me in the US, I just fax coppies of to my wife. Also, I could be wrong, but it seems to me that most people are currently waiting about a year from the time their cases are transfered to CDJ to their appointments. Good luck.

Yes it is. I feel much better knowing the packet will arrive here to my home. My mail box is a little more secure than my wife's.

And yes, seems more like 11-12 month interview dates, seems most are getting their packet on month 11 for interview in month 12. Oh well, more hurry up and wait.

Our case was also sent to CDJ around the same time( end of May). I have not received the packet yet. I did email them a few days ago and to my suprise they responded the next day. They said that our approx. waiting time is 4-5 months from now(Feb.2007). So I guess that brings us to May or June. Its like we are always waiting.

They will mail it to both, but it takes a very long time to get to address in Mexico. I received packet 4 a few days before appointment, the address my hubby had in Mexico they received it 5 weeks after appt.

Generally speaking, how much notice is given when the interview packet is mailed? 30 days?

Something like that. I don`t remember when our current one arrived, but the postmark says 01/29 (El Paso) and this time we have our interview on 02/28. Other people are getting them with about the same time frame. Don`t forget to arrive a couple days early for the medical- it usually only takes one day, but sometimes you have to go back a second time and they`re closed for a lot of holidays- all US holidays and all Mexican holidays. Also, if you buy plane tickets, be sure to give yourself plenty of time for the interview because that one frequently runs into another day. Last year my wife had to keep going back again and again for a week (I was already back at work by the time they finally finished with her). I`ve never heard of anyone else getting stretched out that long, but it can happen. Two days is fairly common. I think they have a list of holidays posted on a website somewhere but I don`t know where.

Thank you, we'll try to make a mini vacation out of it.

That`s what we`re doing- I took a week`s vacation along with a four day weekend. As long as all goes smoothly we`ll go visit family in Chihuahua after the interview. This will be your first appointment, won`t it? Are you expecting clear sailing or planning to file a waiver? Good luck, whichever it is.

Yes it will be her first appointment, my wife has never entered the US without inspection or overstayed a visit, so there is no need for a waiver. She's had a border crossing card (laser visa) for 7+ years, and has always surrendered her I-94A's before they expired.

We'll have our 2 year wedding anniversary next month, and since they haven't notified us yet of an interview it looks like by the time she does get it, at least she will get permanent status and not conditional. Gotta look for the positive where you can!
