Wow, sounds like you’re actually proud of having to wait that long. You deserve an applause 👏🏼 And as for your comment about Mexico being banned—maybe stick to facts instead of fear-mongering? Not exactly helpful.

u force an interview before immigration officer has done their work , it can result in denial as approval (without the proper steps ) is hard for CO or US officer to take the responsibility on to approve it' Co's have to follow immigration rules and laws Wow, sounds like you’ve personally handled mandamus lawsuits before and have firsthand experience of how consular officers react under those circumstances. Impressive expertise—care to elaborate on how forcing an interview directly results in a denial?
-
Obviously, a WoM can be filed—that’s not rocket science. The issue is whether it’s actually worth doing in these circumstances. If you don’t have anything beyond repeating the obvious, why bother? The idea was to foster a discussion on potential previous experiences.

I get your point about the Turner v. Blinken case, but that ruling was specific to administrative processing (AP). It didn’t address delays in scheduling interviews, which is a separate issue. The consulate controls interview availability, not NVC, and if they’re not fulfilling their obligation to process cases within a reasonable time, that could still justify a WOM. Just because 15 months in AP was ruled ‘reasonable’ doesn’t mean indefinite delays for an interview would hold up in court. It’s not the same scenario.
-
Already went down that path. No luck.
-
I get that you think it’s all on NVC, but the consulate, not NVC, controls the number of interviews they schedule each month. Calling the process ‘transparent’ doesn’t make sense when there’s no clear communication about how or when appointments are allocated. It’s not just about waiting—it’s about a system that doesn’t provide any accountability.
-
I’m not saying I trust the process. But it’s easy for you to dismiss the frustration when you’re not the one currently stuck in this broken system. Stop pretending like waiting around for who knows how long is just ‘how it works’—it’s a mess, and you’re ignoring that reality.
-
Thanks, but saying ‘just wait your turn’ feels like a cop-out when the consulate provides zero transparency or accountability. Forums only go so far—how are people supposed to trust the process with a lack of transparency?
-
@appleblossom Fair point, but it's not like the consulate is handing out a playbook on what's "normal" or who's next. We have an "idea" but it's ultimately at their discretion.
-
@SalishSea not really trying to jump in front of anyone, just trying to understand what options are available when there's no transparency around timelines. If delays are indefinite, it feels like there's no other way to move things forward.
-
@Boiler That's a fair point, but what really is the definition of 'well within processing time' when the consulate keeps shifting the goalposts? Without publicly available timelines, it feels like there's no clear standard to go by.
-
@JeanneAdil thanks for your response. Regarding "force a decision on immigration and it could be denial/ seen that happen from posts on here"..... what do you mean by that? Is that for WoM for folks placed in AP?
-
@powerpuff thank you for that! This is my first time on this site and still getting used to navigating around. @JeanneAdil thanks for your response. Are you an immigration attorney?
-
@Boiler Yeah, I’ve seen that Ciudad Juárez has a huge backlog. I’ve been looking around, but it’s tough to get a clear idea since wait times seem to vary so much.
-
@Boiler thanks for your response. I guess the question is what is “normal processing times” since wait times for scheduling an IR1/CR1 interview at a consulate are not publicly available. Correct?
-
Hello. I’ve come across several posts about mandamus lawsuits, especially for those stuck in administrative processing (AP). For those of us waiting for a consulate interview, is it common to file a mandamus to compel the consulate or Department of State (DoS) to schedule the interview? CR1/IR1 visa.

Expedite Request - Valid Reason?

Thank you. Will give it a shot Very helpful 👍🏽 -
Good day to everyone. We are at the NVC stage of the consular process now. I (petitioner and US citizen) will be needing surgery in two months and have no one to care for me here in the states. My wife is currently in Mexico. My question is if this falls under criteria for an expedite at the Juarez embassy? I just finished gathering detailed medical record that goes over surgery, letter from doctor stating need for surgery and personal statement. What are your thoughts?
