Hello!

My case is still at NVC but my husband and I are wondering how long is it the time frame between NVC 'Case Complete' and the interview at Juarez consulate?.

We are hoping to get an interview by april perhaps if our case gets completed by the end of this month.

He will try to come over for the interview but that's not for sure yet, since it all depends of work load and his boss (he has the final decision at the end)so we want to get an idea of how long does it take.

How long did it take for you to get an interview scheduled? (after case was complete at NVC) Like a month? 2 months ahead?

Also, do they allow the US citizen to come in for the interview?

Thanks in advance for your answers! Any information is appreciated!

Hi!

I wouldn't be able to say an exact time frame, from the NVC to the consulate it took a little less than a month for us.

Once your fiance receives the invitation letter (aka Packet 3) you may start gathering your documents, pay the consulate fee, and schedule your interview.

We got our interview on March 14 2013. You get to choose when you would like your interview from their calendar if the date is available. I scheduled on Feb. 14 and got it exactly a month later.

As to answer your last question, the Ciudad Juarez consulate does not allow for the U.S. citizen to enter the interview, not even the building. I am going with my fiance (I am the US citizen) to Ciudad Juarez but I'm going to stay in the hotel. Hope I cleared your doubts.

Good luck! :thumbs:

Detox623 I would love to know all of those questions also!?!

Me and my husband received a letter from the NVC saying they were experiencing a high volume of mail at this time but will be in touch withing 30 days from when the received our case May 2-2016 So im in hopes by the end of this month they will have scheduled us an interview!!!

Can anyone tell me if (I the U.S Citizen) will be allowed or required to enter the interview with my husband who is trying to get his green card???

Also we have a one year old baby will he be able to go in as well?

Also the fees? what all should we expect to be paying?

And last questions What kind of questions do they ask & How are the interview set up??

Please someone help me out with these questions

Thank you
