My fiance and I had an interview date of April 2, at the Ciudad Juarez consulate in Mexico. However, before we received official notification that they were suspending visa services, the MEDICAL CENTER actually contacted us days before claiming that the consulate had told them what was going to happen, before there was any official notice yet. So, seeing that my fiance just got an email saying that they are available to schedule a medical appointment with her again, tells me that this a good news and they are probably opening back up the Consulate again!!!! I'm trying to stay calmed and grounded but I am getting very excited! 

 

Please let me know, for anyone else applying for a K1 visa in Mexico that had an Interview and Medical Exam date, if you have received this email as well.

Well they only said they plan on opening back up the USCIS back on June 4 technically.

Correct on the uscis are thinking of opening on June 4

 

 

These are USCIS office that have had one on one contact in the past. So an application center for biometrics in the US would now be opening June 4 BUT USCIS for I-129f, Petition for Alien Fiancé(e) processing has been open and is processing cases all along. This does not change anything for K-1's. Its certainty does not give the Green light for embassies to start one on one interviews as they are under DOS control and not USCIS.

This is correct. I was just posting that the medical center in Mexico contacted my fiance to schedule her medical appointment again, which just has me excited because they let us know that our K1 visa interview was canceled before the consulate did. So, hopefully that means that they are opening K1 visa medical appointments again because they have an idea that embassies/consulates will be opening back up soon. Especially since they wouldn't conduct her medical appointment last time until at least 2 weeks prior to her K1 interview. But at then end of the day, yes I am just being hopeful and optimistic.

I appreciate the update and I get that its an optimistic view and not an official statement. Still something positive is better then nothing as many people like us have been in limbo since March. We had our interview setup and my fiance had her biometric medical exam done just before they canceled 5 days before the interview. We have not heard anything and the only reply we have received is to look for something on the AIT website. Thank you and wishing you the best for you and your fiance.
