Just got out of my interview, here's my review:
Appointment was today, Friday September 8th. My mom and I flew from Tijuana to Ciudad Juarez on Monday, September 4th. We arrived to Juarez around 5:30 pm and took a taxi to the hotel, about 15 minutes. They charged us 260 pesos. We stayed at Quality Inn, about $400 for 5 nights, breakfast included. The hotel was very comfortable and clean. The breakfast was delicious. They give you 2 coupons, a green one for toast, fruit, cereal, and a black one for a hot meal, which was different everyday. They offered rides to the mall and airport. All the locations are walking distance to the hotel. We ate dinner at the hotel one night and the other at a place next door. Didn't like either too much. Your best bet is to eat at the mall, not only is it cheaper, it's much better, so many options.
Biometrics: my first appointment was for biometrics on Tuesday, September 5th. There are a lot of people waiting, however, they have times on the window of who they're attending. I waited outside for like 10 minutes until they put up on the window that they were now attending people with 2:50 apps. I was in and out in 10 minutes. Thy ask for your passport, interview confirmation letter, and DS 260.
Medical: I had this appointment on Wednesday at 7:45. I was there about 2 and a half hours. I went to Clinica Medica Internacional. They give you an eye test, urine test, then they took me across to get X-rays done where they ask for you to take your too and bra off and put on a paper covering. From there, had to go see the doctor where they ask for you to remove your pants as well. She asked if I drink, do drugs, have tattoos, have kids, any medical issues. The last step is getting shots. I had to get 2. I was charged $330. I was told to pick up my results at 1:30. However, once back at the hotel, they called me and said to come at 3 cause they weren't ready. Went at 3 and once again, they weren't ready and they told me to come back Thursday morning at 11. They did ask first when my interview was I guess to see if they had to rush them. Went back Thursday morning where I finally got my results. You're not allowed to open them.
Mall: we had time to kill so we went to the mall. So many options of food, and really good! They have a few stores, just go and kill time. U can walk there, it's across the consulate and there's a bridge you can use.
Interview: had my interview this morning, Friday September 8th at 8:15. I got there at 7:45 and they let me right in. They do a physical check first as they would do at an airport. Don't take a cell phone, makeup, or anything like that. They then send you to a sitting area outside. They start passing people inside in rows of 5. Once inside, they'll point you to a window where they'll ask you for all your original documents (birth certificate, marriage certificate, police certificate). They dedicate asking for police certificate, I saw a few people turned away and told to come back once they had them. From there they sit you in either black or green chairs, not sure what the difference is. From there you stand in line where you wait to be interviewed. That's the longest wait. You can hear people getting interviewed and being approved or not. You can choose whether you have it in Spanish or English. All he asked me was: 1. Who's petitioning for you? 2. Is he outside waiting for you or in the US? 3. You have kids together? 4. Approximately when did you enter the country? 5. Is this your first time back in Mexico since you left? 6. You have DACA? I said yes and he asked to see it. And then he said: congrats, your visa has been approved. Now it's a waiting game to get my packet! |

*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.
