***Consulate claims they received our petition the same day it was sent from NVC. This was confirmed 2x but could be that it was sent electronically*** Either way, it's in Ciudad Juarez :)
Packet 3 was received by USC exactly one month after CDJ received petition. Jorge received his packet 3 in Mexico 8/5/08 |

Hello-
My fiance was the one who actually went to the medical and interview. I wasn't able to go due to having little money.  Luckily, everything went great. I'll make this short and sweet. I don't have much detail, but once I do have more, I will add on to this.
Jorge flew to Juarez on Sunday and went to his medical on Monday. He mentioned that he got to the line around 5:30 and people had told him that they have been standing there since around 3!!! He said the people who checked him were very nice and asked him the basic questions. "Have you ever used drugs?" NO!
"Have you ever broken any bones?" NO! Don't admit to using anything even if it was just once.... that's silly! They took his x-rays, drew blood etc. He said they didn't give him any shots because of the type of Visa. He was out of there by 11 AM. Not bad. The interview was much longer. He received his medical packet that Monday evening at 5 PM. He also found out that the pictures he had ready for the interview were the wrong size so he made an appointment to get more at 5 am the next day. So he did that. He went to interview line after that. Waited until 8:30 to get in. He said he met a few people with all types of visas. He witnessed many people get denied a visa and felt bad for them. The person who interviewed him kept acting like he wasn't approved...(Body language). The guys asked him very little questions. He first asked the basics, name, birthdates, etc. THen he asked how we met. HE explained. Then later he twisted the questions around, but Jorge caught them all! Good for him!! The guy approved his Visa and he left around 3:30 PM That day with his visa in his hand!!  He was able to change his plane ticket and left that very night!! He says it was quite easy to go through it, just time consuming  |

*Notice about estimates: The estimates are based off averages of other members recent experiences
(documented in their timelines) for the same benefit/petition/application at the same filing location.
Individual results may vary as every case is not always 'average'. Past performance does not necessarily
predict future results. The 'as early as date' may change over time based on current reported processing
times from members. There have historically been cases where a benefit/petition/application processing
briefly slows down or stops and this can not be predicted. Use these dates as reference only and do not
rely on them for planning. As always you should check the
USCIS processing times to see if your application
is past due.
