Our flight from Monterrey was cancel on sun 3-18 due to bad weather in Juarez. So, we ended up flying Mon morning from Monterrey to Mexico City and then connected and ended up landing Mon afternoon in Juarez. Monday was a holiday so we just checked into the hotel and rested. Tue morning woke up at 4:30a to arrive at the medical before 6am. got there about 5:40am and they were letting people in. I went along with my fiancee as they will let you come in and wait. They did a physical exam on her and she said they make you get completely naked and make you stand with your arms out so they can look over your whole body. I guess checking for some weird condition or tatoos or something. She was out about 8:30am or so and ended up paying 210 dollars and some change. I brought 210 because that is what I read on VJ that is cost but it was a bit more then that so make sure you bring extra money. They told us to come back at 2pm for results.
Same day at 1:10pm we had the biometerics appointment. This appointment is really easy and you are out in 15min or so, but don't show up too much before your appointment because they only take you 10min early or so.
Once the biometerics was finished we headed back over to get the medical results. She had to wait for almost two hours for the results. Not sure how they hand out the results but it is not alphabetically. So she was one of the very last people called.
Thursday 7:15am Interview
woke up early showed up for the interview and they let her in at 6am. I hung around for a few minutes and then went back to the hotel as her and I had discussed because they wont let the fiance come in and wait. Took a nap and she showed up at the hotel at 8:15am and told me she passed. She said it was really easy and they didn't ask her much. But, they did ask if her fiance was there in Juarez with her and she said yes he is and they said ok well you are approved and that was it. She said a lot of people were confused about papers they were suppose to have and this and that. I had everything laid out for here and all outlined and she said that really helped her and made it easy. I just followed VJ and how you are told to have everything outlined great site this is, such a big help. Got the Visa at the DHL on Mon morning and crossed Monday afternoon at 2pm.
We stayed at the Ibis and I would highly recommend this motel for the Consulate process. Close to everything and you can walk everywhere from this location.
We walked to the mall alot and eat there or some of the small places by the motel and eat at the motel also. Would recommend doing any of those, but don't eat at the denny's very expensive.
Advice: make sure you have your appointment letter, invitation letter, and passport. Your fiance will need this at any appointment they go to.
