Other approved locations for Medicals in Mexico?

[Jim&Aura 6]

So, I originally was happy to see that the US Consulate in Juarez had 3 approved medical offices close by. However, after realizing that my fiance's kids would be required to wait 3-4 days for the results of their scratch-test, this appears to more of a hindrance, at least logistically. Mainly, because this will require at least 2-3 additional days be spent in Juarez.

But, I have seen at least 1 post here indicating that official Medicals were actually performed in Mexico City, so that got me thinking...

Are there other approved medical offices for immigration purposes elsewhere in Mexico? Or, are the only official ones in Juarez & Mexico City? If there are indeed other locations, would anyone know where to find that information? I remember searching a few months back but couldn't find anything.

Ideally, would be looking for a facility in Playa del Carmen, but even Cancun would be a big help. In reality, even Merida would be preferable since my fiance and kids could do that in 1-2 days easily and save 3+ in Juarez.

Any insight into this would greatly appreciated.

Ciudad Juarez is the ONLY option for medicals in Mexico, UNLESS you are a resident of Mexico City; if you are, then you may attend one of the three options in DF.

Hi Jim,

Only way to do a medical in Mexico City is if the applicant (beneficiary) is a resident there. Other than that, has to be done in Juarez.
