Wait time for interview @ Ciudad Juarez?

@Josh B K I totally hear you, it's a hard pill to swallow. We are indeed doing the F1 spousal visa. I am from the US, my husband is from Mexico. You're welcome to send over more questions! I don't mind sharing here as it may be helpful to others, but a DM also works!

@R_Garnett thank you for being open to chat. We've established that we are both in the same situation - F1 spousal visa, DQ'd, and waiting for an interview date in Ciudad Juarez. 

 

You were DQ'd Nov. 25, 2024. I was DQ'd Feb. 12, 2025; so, we are about three months apart. Since being DQ'd you have currently been waiting 3 months with no word from NVC. Based on info from It will be great for us to stay in touch on this thread and keep each other informed. I'd love to know when you receive your interview letter so that I can gave a good idea of when to expect mine. 

 

Data So Far:

Are you able to "edit" the title of this thread? Maybe we could title it "Ciudad Juarez Interview Wait Times 2025" and attract more visajourney.com members to share info specific to this consulate. 

 

Personal Stuff: 

I'm from Seattle, USA and my husband is from Mexico. Currently, I spend most of my time in Mexico, but I still have my main residence in Seattle. We met 3 years and 10 months ago and got married in Mexico after dating here for 2.5 years. My work was flexible; so, after we met, I put my Seattle condo on the rental market and came to be with Antonio in Mexico. I never dreamed this adventure would turn into nearly 4 years in Mexico. I go home regularly to check on my things and see friends, but enough time has passed that the arrangement has really changed things in life. On the positive side, my Spanish is excellent. My husband, Antonio, is from Veracruz. Currently, we live in Guadalajara, Jalisco.
