US Immigration from Mexico

Hello VJ members,

It's been a while since I last heard from the NVC on my mother's case and I just want to contact them to make sure there's nothing pending on our end and it's just a matter of time for the interview to be scheduled.

Anyways, there are different phone numbers on the NVC website but I find the one in the attached image to be the most appropriate for my inquiry (603-334-0700).

The thing is, no matter what day of the week, what time of the day I call I never get to speak with a real person, it's always the same recording saying "all of our representatives are busy right now, please try calling at a later time".

Does anybody know a different way to get in touch with them? A direct line? Another phone number besides that one?

Anything helps, thanks in advance.

Has anyone had any experience filing for a Mexican spouse and knows which police certificates we need? Mexico bureaucracy is crazy! What we have currently is the "constancia de antecedentes no penales federales". Would this be sufficient (I believe as long as it has been taken out in the last 2 years this is sufficient, yes?)? I've also read online that you need the "constancia de datos registrales". Can anyone shed some light on the difference and which one we actually need?

Hello,

We are currently completing the I-601 Application for Waiver of Grounds of Inadmissibility ourselves without a lawyer. We are filing as a US citizen for my mother as an immediate relative immigration visa. She was denied her visa due to 212(a)(6)(E)(i) smuggling her first born son to the US over 30 years ago. We are completing the i-601 waiver form and seeking a waiver under INA Section 212(D)(11). Part 5 of the I-601 form is asking for information about a qualifying relative and also for a statement of extreme hardship; however, INA Section 212(D)(11) doesn't mention the need to show extreme hardship to a qualifying relative as it does for other waivers (below is the language for the waiver). Has anyone had experience with this and provide some help on how to complete these specific sections of the form? Is a qualifying relative required? Do we have to document some type of "extreme hardship" for this type of waiver request even though the waiver language doesn't mention it? I don't want to leave the areas blank for it to be returned as incomplete but I am not sure what to fill in.

Any help would be appreciated!

INA 212(D)(11) states that: The Attorney General may, in his discretion for humanitarian purposes, to assure family unity, or when it is otherwise in the public interest, waive application of clause (i) of subsection (a)(6)(E) in the case of any alien lawfully admitted for permanent residence who temporarily proceeded abroad voluntarily and not under an order of removal, and who is otherwise admissible to the United States as a returning resident under section 1181(b) of this title and in the case of an alien seeking admission or adjustment of status as an immediate relative or immigrant under section 1153(a) of this title (other than paragraph (4) thereof), if the alien has encouraged, induced, assisted, abetted, or aided only an individual who at the time of such action was the alien's spouse, parent, son, or daughter (and no other individual) to enter the United States in violation of law.

Need to hear from Mexico CR1 filers.
My husband is getting the runaround about the police certificate. He's in Mexico City.
First, they sent him to different locations. No help at any.
Now, they are telling him he needs a document from the US Embassy saying he needs a police certificate for the purpose of filing the visa.
I have not read this anywhere!

So anyone who has received their police certificate in Mexico City, please tell me where you went (the exact address) and who assisted you/ your spouse (if you can remember their name).
This is getting ridiculous!

Hey there, here's a thread for us Mexico fiance visa applicants to mingle! ...if anyone else is out there and checking this forum, that is.

Anyone else waiting for an update from the NVC? My NVC case number was assigned March 7th. Seeing other people fly through this step and get interviews scheduled in the near future gave me a jolt of high hopes, but now I'm realizing that it seems this step takes a while when it's Mexico.
