Hello VisaJourney! I am glad to report we got our email for the interview date for Dec 29th finally! We left the US on May 28th, 2014, so it has been quite a while, at least for me it has felt like it as well as for my wife.

Anyways I had some questions, I'd like help with.

1)Read on the forum in an old post, that if approved they will keep my (beneficiary) passport, is that true?

2) Hotel recommendations please?

3) Bio metrics and Medical recommendations please.

Any other tips and comments please feel free to inform us! :D

*** Country-specific thread moved from CR-1 Process forum to the Mexico/Latin/South America regional subforum, thread title edited for clarity. ***

[Moderator hat off]

If you haven't done so, see "Embassy Info" and "Reviews: Embassy" (links atop any VJ page) for Juarez. Some very recent threads in the regional forum talk about lodging options. Good luck!

Not sure if they keep the passport for IR-1/CR-1 visas, they did for K1.

My wife stayed at the IBIS hotel, which is on the same side as the consulate so you don't have to worry about crossing the street.

For medical she recommends Clinica Internacional, right next to consulate, for biometrics you have to go to the consulate itself.
