Visa packet after interview Juarez where to send it?

[Ben & Katy 168]

I have a question. 

 

Instead of waiting in Juarez after the interview for the visa packet to come out, could they send it through DHL to a USA address and then I pick it up and bring back to Mexico to my wife?  Or does it have to be addressed to a Mexican address?  Or can we have programmed to where we go down to the DHL center in our Mexican city (Nogales) to pick up ourselves?

Consulates have different methods of delivery, but I highly doubt you can get them to send it to the US........but stranger things have happened....

I am just a little concerned about the reliability of Mexican addresses.  My address is posted on many different documents in many different ways LOL.  For example our light bill has a different zip code on it than the street sign says in our neighborhood.  Is there a way the consulate can just deliver it do DHL in Nogales,Mexico and then we go down to pick it up assuming we get approved first?

he could ask to pick it up at embassy but no

what would the guarantee it was used by the person it was intended for?

totally a bad idea to even try

think like this

if any of us knew what was in the packet we could make fake packet, take a packet to someone  and bring people in

and this has been tried

So do you know if DHL sends it to your house?  That is what I am asking.  Or does the consulate only send it to your local DHL facility to be picked up at?

In Juarez, you now pick it up at the Applicant Service Center where biometrics are done.

Ok but I am asking if you decided to leave Juarez and have it sent to your hometown?

When we registered online, I never saw an option for that. It only let me select the ASC. I doubt they will ship it to the US since its technically not complete until the Visa holder is inspected upon entry with the Visa and packet.

No, they don't send it to your house, they send it to a DHL office of your choosing. You have to go to the DHL office and present your id. My wife and I had ours mailed to Guadalajara where they had 5 or so DHL offices we could select from.

 

As far as Mexican addresses, I know that the Mexican mail sucks, but the third party services, such as DHL, Fedex, and UPS do a great job of shipping things. Amazon has been shipping throughout Mexico for a while using those 3. I've never heard of any shipping problems. In Guadalajara we would get same day shipping no problem. We also shipped to my wife's hometown (a small town with little infrastructure several hours away from the big city) and usually get 1 or 2 day shipping. We did this for years and never once had a problem. Regardless, this won't impact your case as you have to go to the DHL office to pick it up.

Thank you for the response! This is what we are going to do.  Thankfully in Nogales there is only one which makes it easier.
