juarez interview

[Kikigurl9 0]

hello i have just returned from my husbands interview in juarez and made a few mistakes that caused us to stay a little longer than excepted.  first out forgiveness i601a was approved in 4 months in February we received approval notice my lawyer then went to this site to make an appointment for us this was our second appointment because the first one we could not make due to not having the forgiveness application approved yet https://ais.usvisa-info.com we got our first appointment for Aug 2. we went ready i mean ready updated taxes for me and my husbands sponsor my dad, pictures birth certificates, applications originals for everything of approval notices i mean we went ready had everything from the very beginning to the last step. also my lawyer scheduled the finger printing and medical exam day before if you think you may be sick with something do a few days before yur appointment just in case they find something wrong. also the police certificate there is a new office where literally you wait 5 minutes and u get it there is another place where the line is out the door if you are staying in a local hotel then ask the taxi driver the safe new that come from the hotel! don't know the address of the new place or i would put it.  a lot of the taxi drivers know what documents u need so listen to them. you will always need your passport appointment letter and ds 260 or ds 261. 

When going to the interview dress nice like its something important my husband said there were people who went with sneakers dress nice like going to a job interview. also make sure you have all your papers and the paper from the biometrics on hand when u first get to consulate. 

mu husband it was quick and was approved they did ask about 20 questions easy ones that one should know but they will ask them quickly only answer the question they are asking don't go into a story about your family over here and this and that. 

after the interview if you get approved this is the waiting game but if yoyo pay attention you ca guess when you are going to get your packet. ok so first you will be checking this site https://ais.usvisa-info.com go to where they told you and enter your email ONLY CHECK HERE WITH A COMPUTER my smart phone iPhone 7 never showed me the bill number ever even until now. second pay attention to this site https://ceac.state.gov/ceac/ we were ds260 here u will check the visa process the day that you get approved it will say that it was updated and issued will be seen. if the next day the date is updated again then your packet will be at the dhl the following day

example how it happened to us

on Aug 2 husband had interview on site the ceac said that visa was issued

Aug 3 i check site and it said that it had updated but still had issued but from Aug2 to changed to Aug 3 

Aug 4 we got email that packet was ready at DHL unfortunately this day was saturday and the dhl closed at 1pm so be paying attention to the email you put and the site but from a real computer not your smart phone that was my mistake i was checking on my smart phone but the air bill number never should only on the computer

my husband appointment was on a thursday the site updated friday printed the visa and mailed it out saturday only took a day and half to get his packet

also when you cross the border from texas they have you pay coming back into the us 1.50 when we crossed we crossed at zaragrosa and once u pass the toll house to pay there is a gate on the left hand side where the ready lanes are and there you will submit your packet you got and get your passport stamped we crossed on a monday and got there around 930 there time and when my husband went to get his passport stamped there was a older man saying he was already waiting a hour n half but we got lucky cuz as my husband was getting there a lady not sure if she was on break or just starting grab all the passports and stamped them we only waited 15 mins crossing was ok the immigration officer was a little rough but nothing crazy! i hope this helps a little also if you are waiting more than 3 days u can call this number to see if your air bill number has come in if u can only check on a phone like i said a smart phone will not show you your bill number or at least mine did not and it caused us to stay 2 more days juarez help line number 52 6563443003 don't call the next day they will nt have no info call only if after 3 days you still don't have air bill tracking number hope this helps
