Consulate Review: Juarez, Mexico Review Topic: IR-1/CR-1 Visa Event Description Review Date : August 8, 2012 Embassy Review : Well my wife arrived on Aug 2. She had her medical on friday Aug 3 she went at 8am and was out by 9:30am she got for shots and was charged $470 for the medical. Saturday Aug 4 she had her biometrics at 9:40am. Monday INTERVIEW day she had her interview at 7:15am she arrived at 6:30 she went straight to the "SALA DE ESPERA" thats were you have to go first before entering the consulate they check and stamp your papers for the first time. then you wait to be called by your appt time. my wife had gone with her sisters a month ago so she kinda knew how they did things at the Juarez consulate. So instead of sitting down and waiting she stayed close to the doors were you go into the consulate once called. Because when they call your time everybody with that appt time gets up and makes a line and if your are close to were they say make a line you get to be pretty close to the front of the line. My wife was very close to front and only took about an hour inside the consulate. very few questions were asked like who petioned for you, what is your husbands name, were did you meet and how, when did you get married. That was about it no evidence was asked. I even forgot to input her high school info in the DS-260 and nothing was asked about that. So it was a good overall expierience. DONT FORGET TO TAKE ORIGINAL USC BIRTH CERTIFICATE THEY WILL ASK FOR IT AND KEEP IT.!!!!! THEY WILL GIVE YOU A BLUE SHEET TO TURN IN LATER THROUGH THE MAIL OR OTHER MEANS, IF YOU DONT TAKE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rating : Very Good

*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.
