Accommodation: MICROTEL. We booked it because it is cheap and because we did not want a guest house, but the truth: if you are very demanding with cleaning and service we do not recommend it much, although the air conditioning works well. -Medical appointment on Friday June 25 at SMF (servicios medicos de la frontera), I arrived at 7 am, it lasted about 4 hours there were many people. They do urinalysis, chest x-ray, blood sample, vision test, physical examination of tattoos and finally vaccinations. (They gave me TDaP, MMR and varicella with side effects: fever for two days, extremely red and swollen arm) if you received the covid vaccine 15 days before your medical appointment, they do not give you any vaccination. - That same day I went to get a police certificate, there were many people and I was inside for about 2 hours. - Also that day, Friday, June 25, I did the biometrics at 3:20 in the afternoon. You have to arrive at the right time for your appointment because it is in shifts, if you arrive earlier you have to wait outside and the heat was very strong. (40c degrees) - They are dividing the consular appointment into two parts due to COVID. Tuesday June 29th was my first date 1:30 pm. As on Saturday we scanned EVERYTHING and upload it to CEAC (taxes, new I-864, my police certificate etc) that day the consul asked me only for my birth certificate and original marriage certificate, he told me thank you for uploading everything to the system and That would be all, they were only 5 minutes inside and he gave me a blue paper that is an entrance pass to the consulate, so that I could return Wednesday the 30th at 8 am. NOTE: do not bring any electronic device!! not even a fitbit. If you are asthmatic like i am, don't bring your inalator, They wont let you in and you can't trow anything to the garbage near by, it is forbidden, the security it's like in an airport. Just bring your paperwork with you and some cash, there's a small snack car inside. -Wednesday June 30, 2021: I arrived at 7:30 am and it was a long wait of about an hour, once inside I waited another while and I think it was around 10am when I finally went to the window for an interview. Inside there are windows like a bank and you can hear everything. The consul was always very kind, she asked me if I wanted the interview in English or Spanish, she made me raise my hand for the oath, and the questions were: who asks for you? i said my husband Is he a resident or a citizen? a citizen by naturalization or birth? In what state was he born? What state does he live in now? Where is he right now? (I said outside) what does he work on? date of marriage? First marriage of both? Children in common? How did you meet? Have you visited USA legally or illegally? Have you had problems with the police in this country or another? Do you have any tattoos? Can you show me your police certificate? and that was it, she told me congratulations your visa has been approved. ðŸ¤— She did not ask me for any other thing and returned my original papers that I gave in the first interview the day before. RECOMMENDATIONS: Just answer what they ask you !!! I saw a person trying to start a conversation with the consul, even showing her a photo album: the consul asked him for more documents. BE KIND, We all get nervous, but it's better to be nervous and be nice than to try show you super confident and be rude! Greetings and good luck with your process!!	2023-06-28

I, the petitioner (U.S citizen) , asked for an expedite due to financial hardship (currently unemployed because of COVID), emotional/medical hardahips (going to therapy for depression + anxiety) , and I just had my husband's baby. I'm also a college student so I need ed my husband's support ASAP. I sent the expedite on August 17, date received by NVC was Aug. 24, expedite approved on August 28. It said I would get a call from the consulate/embassy in about 2 weeks and I got the call on September 11 telling me when ny husband's interview date was (sept. 23). I got all the paperwork ready, and made his medical exam appointment for the 21st, and fingerprints on the 22nd. On the day of the interview there was very few people (I imagine because of COVID). My husband told me they asked him multiple questions (I assume because we are CR1 category since we have barely been married for a year). But they were questions he already knew questions he SHOULD have known. Questions like: Who is peitioning you? Where does she live? Where do you plan on living? What is your newborn sons name? Where are they right now ? How is your sponsor ? How is he related to your wife ? What does your sponsor work in ? What is your wife's occupation ? They asked him if he had a tattoo(which he purposely wore a short sleeve so they could see it and the doctor had already taken note of it at his appointment. Which they only asked him what it meant (first initial of his middle name). They asked him more questions, but he knew them. He was asked to show his original birth certificate and marriage certificate. Also the police certificate from his state and my 2018 taxes . His case was electronic which is why I think they only asked him for that. I think they might have asked him for my 2018 taxes because I was amending my 2019 taxes (but he took copies and original of everything anyways). At the end, the young lady said congratulations your visa has been approved ! They told him to wait for an email so he could pick up his packet (in this case his passport with the visa already inside since everything is electronic now). We got the email in the afternoon, but we went the next morning to pick it up at CAS. He didnt get a packet like most people usually do, instead, he got his passport with the visa already in there. We were in CDJ ao he got it that same day, I assume if he got it by DHL to his state it would have taken longer. We entered the U.S on October 4th through the TJ border by car and we were asked to park inside. There he was escorted inside the office where he got his passport stamped. And here we are now! I hope this helps, goodluck. And thank you God always. Have faithðŸ™	2023-01-05
