Juarez Consulate & ASC questions (expedite approved)

[sgprecision 59]

I received an expedite due to a medical condition. The embassy sent me a letter (k1 visa) giving me an open appointment date, meaning I can walk in basically during business hours and be processed. I had already booked the interview/asc for March and I booked flights, hotel, etc. I want to go next week, but when I call the visa appointment line, they will not change my asc appointment without changing my interview appointment. I tried to explain the letter I had, but could not get a firm answer. Does anyone know if I take the expedited interview letter to an ASC (either in Tijuana or Juarez) they will allow me to walk in for biometrics without an appointment?

I would guess your open appointment letter has an effect over ASC too.

Doesn't make any sense to give you the expedite if they aren't able to change ASC too.

I was assuming that as well, but would hate to change the flights/hotel and then not be let in the door

Where do you live in Mexico?

Tijuana. I know they have an ASC there. They are only open until 4, can't make it today and I am trying to change flights today.

Why don't you try to get there tomorrow and see if they can take your biometrics there? Or maybe you can ask a supervisor or someone to connect you with Juarez ASC and give you some insights on the situation?

I can tell you the ASC in Tijuana will not let you in without an appointment, no matter the circumstances. Even with the letter and email from the embassy in Juarez, they refused entry and were quite rude and not helpful. ☹️
