September 2023 I-130 Filers
Josh B K replied to Cookie88's topic in IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports
Hello Friends. We've stopped talking here since most of us have probably received our Visa Response from USCIS by now. I'm curious, how is everyone coming a lot with consular processing. I had the rude surprise of finding out my consulate in Mexico has about a 1 year wait for appointments; so, my spouse and I are still waiting. -
Wait time for interview @ Ciudad Juarez?
Josh B K replied to R_Garnett's topic in US Embassy and Consulate Discussion
Hello: Here is an update for late June. I've picked up a few new cases that I'm actively monitoring and now have contacts with DQ'd dates in May, June, and July. I'm looking for some cases with DQ'd dates in August and September to track. I recently found a couple that waited 448 days from DQ'd date to appointment. That's the longest wait I've seen so far.

@johanna_q, of course. I'd love to include you! How exciting that you are so close to receive news. I will really appreciate the opportunity to include your details in my dataset. I really want to keep an eye on how interview assignments are proceeding this year.

@Chaval Thank you very much for keeping us informed! Your data is part of the dataset I am using to report on average wait times in Ciudad Juarez in this discussion. -
Hello Visa Journey friends. Here is my latest data update. I've been searching for people on various platforms with recent experience with interviews in Ciudad Juarez. Today I have found 6 examples of people who recently completed the journey. Here are the current numbers I have. All data @ data sheet.

@greyson.rizo Thanks for sharing your example.

@appleblossom Just this morning I came across two media articles to confirm the planned reductions in staff at the consulates. While Federal Firings Focus on Immigration Processing, Funding for Immigration Enforcement Expands, 6 March 2025, Immigration Impact, https://immigrationimpact.com/2025/03/06/federal-firings-immigration-processing-enforcement-expands/?utm_campaign=everyaction&utm_medium=email&utm_source=&emci=9f705f61-97fb-ef11-90cd-0022482a9fb7&emdi=c3639da6-eefc-ef11-90cd-0022482a9fb7&ceid=11628368 US embassies told to prepare for staff cuts as Trump overhauls diplomatic corps, sources say, 13 February 2025, Reuters, https://www.reuters.com/world/us/us-embassies-told-prepare-staff-cuts-trump-overhauls-diplomatic-corps-sources-2025-02-13/

@appleblossom I reviewed the timelines for all users with NOA2's since January 2024. I have contacted all those members asked for them to share their info. As you said, things are changing; so, my goal is to stay in touch with members who are recently scheduled or waiting. Have you seen any specific media or info about reductions of staff in the consulates?

I just received new data from a user with recent experience. data sheet

I want to unite Visa Journey members with approved I-130 IR-1/CR-1 petitions and are waiting for an interview in Ciudad Juarez. This thread is for you if: You have an approved I-130 IR-1/CR-1 Visa Petition You have completed your DS-260 and Affidavit of Support with NVC and are Documentarily Qualified (DQ'd) You are waiting for an interview in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico If this is you, please share the following information with the thread. Date you received notice from NVC that you are Documentarity Qualified (DQ'd) Date you received an interview assignment from NVC (if you have received one) Date of your interview (if you have received an interview assignment) Currently I have 4 members with up-to-date data points. I'd like to increase to 10 members. My goal is to provide a good up-to-date estimate for Ciudad Juarez Wait Times in the CR-1/IR-1 category.

@appleblossom Thanks you for your reply and willingness to help me clarify my post. I realized after I posed it that I got some terminology wrong. I don't see an option to edit my post; so, maybe I will delete it and repost it. I am looking for people with approved I-130 applications for Immediate Relatives of US Citizens - spouses and unmarried children under 21. I confused the family based preference category AND used the term FB-1 instead of F1. Do you think my headline should say "IR-1/CR-1 - Ciudad Juarez Interview Wait Times 2025" or "Immediate Relative - Ciudad Juarez Wait Times 2025". I think whether you are petitioning for a spouse or an unmarried child under 21 you are in the same waiting line. You are in a category that is not impacted by visa limits. I wanted to get info from people who are waiting for their interview in the consulate to understand the current wait times.
