Appointments for Cd. Juarez take ages for spousal visas; you can search for the specific thread of people awaiting.

 

Now, when a spousal case is expedited, you're the one to schedule the appointment.

Even though you didn't request for the case to be expedited, according to the letter, they did, so once you have your case number, you can try scheduling one in the appointments system.

Same situation. How do you know that we need to request appointment if our case is expedited?

@marly_g It has been the norm for expedited spousal visa cases: instead of waiting for the embassy to schedule, the applicant is the one to choose the nearest available date. 

 

The specific instructions should be in the letter that the applicant receives from the embassy once the case is there.

Spousal cases are being expedited by the NVC right now, my case cc is august 2019, something like that and I just got a letter saying it was expedited to the consulate in Juarez on September 8th. So was @jackiebm88 I’m sure there’s way more cases like ours, make sure you have all your stuff in order

[jackiebm88 4]

on the email it says to wait for an appointment to be scheduled now i’m confused 

[marly_g 25]

I haven’t received a letter yet. I received an email, so I checked ceac site for update it now says it’s in transit.

[Dalila Gonzalez 49]

Yes, you’ll get an appointment scheduled and you will receive an appointment letter (email) they used to take 1-2 weeks, I couldn’t say now. Someone did say some people have run into not being notified and being told their appointment has already been set when they call. I plan on contacting the consulate to ask if a date has been set if I don’t hear anything after 2 weeks of them having my paperwork just in case 

[Dalila Gonzalez 49]

If you have a lawyer, your lawyer should be notified of it also. I just try and figure things out on my own as my lawyer isn’t all that attentive, he’s probably tired of our case since he was paid many years ago, and we’re still at it

ive seen too many stories of people getting denied over the dumbest , make sure you sent a copy of your american passport with your husband, sometimes they ask for it, sometimes they dont but better go prepared. oh and it has to be the page from the passport not a copy of a passport ID card. apparently an original US birth certificate isnt proof enough that you're a citizen. and keep me posted, rooting for you!

[marly_g 25]

😯 Wow! It’s amazing how I have felt like I was the only one having this problem, but it turns out we are all together in the same situation including neglectful lawyers. I’ll update as things evolve.
