Appoint wait time in CDJ Mexico?

[Hirotoyoto 36]

hello everyone,

 

so my fiance (beneficiary) and i (petitioner) have received the email from nvc saying they are going to send our petition to CDJ. my question is should she go ahead and do all the paperwork like ds160, etc already or should she wait until we get the actual letter? thanks!

Hello, I have been following along for months now. My husband's cc date was 6/13. I saw that some of you were successful with the expedite and since we have nothing to lose I submitted my request. My husband's case is very long and complicated, we have had an approved i130 since 2012 so this was well over the normal processing time.  I just got the email last night that the expedite was approved. I called NVC and they said that I would receive an email when our paperwork is sent to the Juarez consulate. For those of you that expedited, how long was it after your initial approval email until you got this next email that your case was sent to Juarez?

Hi,

 

We are applying for a k-1 visa, and I was wondering if anyone can give me a few pointers to possibly have our case escalated, with CDJ process times I would like to see if we can look into this option.

 

Thank you all

Hi Lulu! 
We are also anxious and desperate waiting. 
Our CC date is 5/09/18(May 09) and we are still waiting for the appointment, over 6 months ( 9 nov 2018).
We have been informed that there's a chance to get an appointment scheduled by the end of November and the appointments are 2 months in advance (December / January).

According to your CC June 21, there's a possibility for you on December.
Well, that's not a 100% accurate range, but it helps.

thanks! 
keep us informed,

Congrats 🤗 that means they accepted your case. You should get a call in the next week to schedule an interview. Be prepared with a date in mind 😅 they asked me when I would like to schedule my interview for and was not prepared for that lol The process goes pretty fast from now on 🤗

My biggest piece of advice I can give is stick to the facts. Express why you have come to the conclusion of the long wait time. How is the wait time affecting you. I would stay away from statements that have to do with feelings for example: " I am requesting an expedite because the time apart from my husband is giving me anxiety and causing me stress". You want to have our request stick out from other cases but not overload them with requests they would get on a general basis. Everyone going through this process misses their spouses, the time away is hard for everyone, I think a lot of us are can say this process is stressful. I am not saying that if you use these comments it's grounds for denial but I see a lot more expedite letters with those general terms be denied more often than not. Also, if you look through the threads there are some great formats that you can just copy and paste and then enter in the information as it pertains to your case :)

The way things are going for this Juarez consulate it is going to end up being a year's wait after CC for the interviews.  Something needs to be done about this.  This is our tax dollars at work and the government is not being responsible with our tax dollars.  There might need to be a petition or some kind of movement to get the government to either open up a new consulate for family visas in Monterrey or any other border city like Nogales, Laredo, Mexicali or Tijuana. 

 

This is getting to the point of being ridiculous.  No other consulate in the world makes people wait seven months after CC for an interview.  Also when we were there in early October it seems like Juarez is hardly working at all.  They are only open for interviews for a few hours in the morning and then have the rest of the afternoon off.  No wonder why it is taking so long!

Totally agree with your general sentiment but I did want to point out that this is actually not our tax dollars at work. USCIS is funded primarily from the fees charged to applicants. I know it's a pedantic distinction but I feel it's important to point out. From their own website: 

 

Quote

USCIS is funded primarily by immigration and naturalization benefit fees charged to applicants and petitioners.

...

This account represents approximately 95 percent of USCIS’ fiscal year (FY) 2016 total budget authority

In my opinion this makes it worse as you're paying directly for a (crappy) service, instead of indirectly with taxes.

Either way it’s our money.  It’s seriously time to consider another consulate for family visas.
