Does anyone here know how long it takes typically for an appointment to be scheduled after reviewing "Ready" status at CEAC?

Congrats!! Have you entered the us yet? If so, what was the process like? Any other documents required other than the I-94?

Thanks! Yes, I entered on October 7th. I was very lucky because it was empty so it was pretty quick, they just asked me for my passport and the yellow packet with all the documents, they stamped my passport and then I downloaded the i-94 online :)

Happy to report that my fiancé entered the USA yesterday with no issues. Process was easy and took about 15 minutes for them to process and stamp since I guess the agents hadn’t seen a k1 in a while. We entered through the CBX port of entry. Does anyone have a link for a thread regarding the next steps for AOS?

Anyone know how far out interviews are in Juarez currently? Our case is at the "ready" status, and I've read 2 weeks to a month for interviews in Mexico city..not sure if I should expect the same for Juarez?

In the same boat.  Hope someone will respond.  According to the wait times website, they only have a 2 day wait for some non-immigrant visas.  I would imagine that our K-1 applications should be reasonably quick.

I'd guess it's still the same but I'm not sure. I recommend you join this facebook group https://www.facebook.com/groups/mexicanosvisak1aos/ because people are constantly sharing their timelines there. Good luck!

Are they doing K-1 interviews in Juarez again?

I don’t think they are doing k-1 interviews in Juarez. I just checked the government website and it says Mexico City. I may be wrong though.

They are doing interviews for K1s in Juarez, based on what people are posting in the Mexico K1-AOS FB group, as well as the fact that our case # begins with CDJ--assigning us there.
