Hi, 

 

Does anyone know if they keep your original documents at the interview?

 

I only have one notarized parental consent for my step son to live with us. I hope they don't keep it as we'll need it to cross the border.

Hi There, I wanted to give everyone my revew. My husband's interview was on 12/28/18. We have been married 7 years so IR category, he has DACA, a few arrests, and was in removal proceedings but was granted voluntary departure to pursue consular processing. We arrived to Juarez on 12/26/18 around 7 pm so all we did was go to our hotel that night. We stayed at the Holiday Inn Express; it was a very pleasant stay everything is very clean, free breakfast, computer access, and transportation available. The driver is very nice there. 
The morning of the 27th we went to his medical exam, he had an appointment at 6 am at Clinica Medica Internacional, we started lining up around 5:30 am. We were there about 2.5-3 hours. He had to do an eye exam, blood, psychological exam, and had to get several immunizations. It was over $400 for the exam. 
After the medical, we ate breakfast at the hotel and then the driver there took us to the Fiscalia for the Carta no Antecedentes Penales. It was super empty so we were in and out in less than 15 minutes. We went to the mall for a bit, its right by the consulate area, everything is walking distance there. At 1 we returned to the Clinic for the results, there were hundreds of people there. We were there for like an hour and a half. Ate lunch after then went to his fingerprint appointment at 3:30 pm. Fingerprinting is very fast and organized. Don't arrive too early there; they only let you in 10 minutes before your scheduled interview. Don't take anything inside with you. If someone goes with you, have them hold your belongings. That was it for all the things before the interview, we were able to do everything in one day. 
Interview Day:
His interview was at 9:15. We walked over there like at 8 am and they let him in. I went back to the hotel, it was raining and there is no point in standing out there. He did not come out till almost 1 pm, over 4 hours in there and came back very sad. He had a blue paper saying he was out in 221G Administrative Processing. 
Documents he gave:
Passport
DS260
Marriage Certificate
Divorce
Carta no antecedentes
My Checkstubs
2017 Taxes and W2
DACA work permit
Arrest Documents

These were the questions he was asked:
Who is petitioning you?
Where is she now?
Where does she work?
Is this your first marriage?
is this her first marriage?
Do you have children?
Do you have children in common?
when did you enter the US?
Do you know where/how you entered? (my husband was 5 so he said I don't know)
Did you go to school in the US?
Up to what level?
Do you have DACA?
Have you ever been Arrested? This is where it all went bad. My hiusband told him he had a DUI, Consular officer said "I don't care about the DUI." He was pulled over in 2004, no traffic infraction, just profiling I think. The officer accused him of having a fake ID because at the time all he had was his Mexican Matricula card and he speaks perfect English. So he arrested him and accused him of falsely representing himself. The charges were dropped but nonetheless, the consular officer wanted more information on it. He requested more court documents and police records. He kept the passport, overall the officer was nice. He didn't seem concerned, said he just needed more information. He checked to see what DHL location we chose, and told him thats where his visa would be issued. 
So I flew back home, got the court and police things we needed and mailed them to the consulate. He was in Administrative Processing for 2.5 Weeks, I made sure to call the service center every day for updates and check the CEAC website. On 1/15/19 his status changed to "ISSUED" Visa was approved! The passport still has not been sent out to Jalisco, where my husband is waiting, but the wait is over. He will come home hopefully next week after being in Limbo for all this time. 

The consulate area is very safe, I would recommend making appointments for everything around the same day or maybe 2 days but thats it. Otherwise you will be very bored. I also recommend using the public inquiry tool online, that is how I was able to get him out of Administrative Processing. Another thing is to bring all your documents, you never know what they will ask for, it depends on the officer. The one my husband got didn't ask for his waiver or about his voluntary departure but we were prepared. Next step, Citizenship in 3 years! 
 

Hi! Im wondering how many days it took before your hubbie received his envelope in jalisco after the paperwork was approved?

Trying to plan, I might go to jalisco to wait for it there as well...

Happy for you! I’m wondering since they are already scheduling for the month of June, and my wife’s Cc is Sept 28 2018, I’m guessing the latest they’ll have her interview set will be around June/July ? From September to June is 9 months, I see that’s what most people are waiting right now🤔

My fiance had her interview January 29th and was approved. On the CEAC site the visa says issued January 30th. On the AIS site it still says attend interview and there is still no waybill number. I called the help line and they told me they see in the system that the interview happened, but they cannot say if we were approved or denied and we have to wait 10 days to get an update on the tracking.. I initially setup the return of documents to the ASC in Tijuana where we live. Anybody experience this?

yes! same here, I had my interview on February 1st and got approved.  On the CEAC visa says "Issued" the first update on February 1st and then  February 5th,    Remember February 4th was a non-working day . Hopefully next  week we can get an update

So we received our NOA2 in late January (K1) and are now awaiting our new case number and eventually get our interview date. Is it this slow for K1 visas as well? When can I realistically expect an interview date?
