Yes we saw this as well. Unfortunately I don't think this will be in place if passed prior to our interview and show of requirements proof. At this point we are trying to find a clinic that offers Johnson and Johnson as we are worried about the completed the "full series" of vaccination prior to interview. This is turning out to be quite a difficult and stressful situation and I have not heard back from the consulate regarding the vaccine being an absolute requirement for providing the visa. We can work out traveling by land at border entry to avoid flight vaccine requirements if we know we can still get the visa without vaccine. None of this is clear and I imagine it's by design...

Good luck to you guys as well! Juarez is processing and conducting K1 interviews again per our experience.

Thank you for the detailed summary of where things currently stand. It looks like without the experience of someone else attempting to interview at the Juarez consulate without the vaccine we do not know whether it's truly enforced. It would be a dice roll to try without the vax it seems and I'm not sure we are willing to take the chance of our process being delayed any further (will be 20 months already by the time K1 issued should we have no issues). I did write to them through their forms public inquiry and hopefully I'll get clarification on the topic. All the messaging points to it being enforced at this consulate in order to even be issued a K1 visa (which I though shouldn't be the case and why the option to waive at medical exists). My fiance is willing to get the vax if she must to get here but obviously we seek clarification. Hopefully we can get this well in advance to the interview in March.

NOA2 2022-10-21 15 months after NOA1, rough wait indeed.

I've posted as well in the Mexico regional forum to see if anyone else has experience here. We'll get the vaccine if truly required but we wanted to avoid for the time being if possible. Yes I am going to ask.

these are my thoughts as well...

Hey Guys - I'm very excited as we finally received our interview date from the Juarez consulate in Mexico after 17 months for K1! The consulate included this in their interview scheduling email to us: "If you have not obtained a complete series of the COVID-19 vaccination according to the recommended interval, contact U.S. Consulate General Ciudad Juarez through our website to reschedule your appointment for a date following completed vaccination." Is it not possible anymore to waive requirements and travel by land into the US without the COVID vaccine? Is this requirement different at the consulate level? Your help and feedback is greatly appreciated.

Everyone here -- We received our K1 interview date for March 23rd

CDJ

Anyone else with a K1 visa go through CDJ for an interview recently?

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

I'm on month 17... Same.. Ugh. I hope mine we get an interview soon. It's been 17 months

Thank you. Hopefully we get a date soon, I'm seeing others with similar timelines scheduled for interviews at CDMX for February. I'm worried CDJ may be a significantly longer wait...

I've tried, I receive unknown errors each time I try to fill it out. Here is the summary: 2021-07-06 NOA1 2022-08-20 NOA2 2022-10-21 NVC Received (case created date in CEAC) 2022-11-08 NVC Processing Email 2022-11-09 NVC Assigned Case Number Case shows "Ready" with last updated 20-Dec-2022 in CEAC and Juarez consulate says our case is "in the appointment queue". Any guidance would be helpful, I'm worried I'm missing something here.

Thank you for the reply! Yes, K1 is 129F. I contacted the CDJ consulate and they responded with the following: Our records indicate that your case is currently in our appointment queue. As soon as an appointment becomes available, we will contact you by email. Should I still call the Mexico City consulate?

Any news on scheduling interviews at Juarez? My case has been in the "Ready" state since October. We filed 129f July 2021. I sent an email to the consulate and they confirmed they received and would send another email when ready to schedule interview in November but no word yet...
