K1 Visa Procedure for Mexico, Ciudad Juarez

[perla&austin 7]

Hello I noticed that my status changed to approved , that means I'm on NOA2, however, I'm a little confused when It comes on how to continue with the process now that we are waiting for the NVC to have our case number ready. We hired a lawyer (didn't want to, waste of money, fiancé insisted) , but I'm getting anxious now .

Found this information on here:

It can take weeks for you to get the letter from CDJ. The good news is, you do not have to wait for the letter to get started. You only need the letter for the medical and appointments in Juarez. If you get everything filled out and scheduled and your letter from CDJ still doesn't arrive before you need to go to Juarez, then you can go early the first morning you are there and get the letter from the consulate customer service information window.

Here is how it works for Juarez:

You need to get your CDJ case #, invoice # and beneficiary ID # from the NVC before you can fill out the DS-260 by calling 603-334-0700

Juarez will send the USC and the beneficiary in Mexico a letter. Sometimes the letter does not reach the person in Mexico because of the crappy mail system there. If the only one that receives it is the USC, it can be mailed or scanned and emailed and printed out by the beneficiary in Mexico. It does not have to be the original.

The letter you receive points you to the sites where the instructions, forms and place to schedule your appointment and interview is. The letter is the only 'packet' you will receive. You should go to the links(which I am posting below) listed in the letter. The letter will be needed by the K-1 applicant at their ASC, medical and interview in Juarez, along with the confirmation page from the DS-260.

Here are the forms: http://ciudadjuarez....ianceforms.html , instructions (very important to follow and they explain a lot):http://photos.state....packetk1may.pdf ,schedule ASC: http://mexico.usvisa-info.com , and CDJ info: http://www.visajourn...xico&cty=Juarez

While waiting, you can read through the reviews to see how the procedure works and what documents were needed by others applying for a K-1: http://www.visajourn...&cty=&dfilter=5

- But I have a couple of doubts:

1.-

You need to get your CDJ case #, invoice # and beneficiary ID # from the NVC before you can fill out the DS-260

- Does this refers to USCIS status check number, Paid fee and NVC Case number?-

2.-

Juarez will send the USC and the beneficiary in Mexico a letter. Sometimes the letter does not reach the person in Mexico because of the crappy mail system there. If the only one that receives it is the USC, it can be mailed or scanned and emailed and printed out by the beneficiary in Mexico. It does not have to be the original.

I'm guessing that once they give us our case number over the phone it means that it has reached the Juarez Consulate, Am I right? , so means I could take an extra day before the medicals and appointments to go get it in person. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

3.- When it comes on which documents to bring to the appointments, do they request original ones? If my case was sent by our lawyer, Do i need to bring all those papers too? original ones? since it's a k1, what do I have to get done there in Juarez? : fingerprints, pictures, medical, biometrics, interview... I ask because I have a laser 10 year visa and I already got my picture taken and fingerprints, Do I need to do it again? Should I create a new account for the USCIS site? Or use the old one? ...

4.- I'd have to take a flight there since I live at the other side of the country , so how many days should I be considering to stay there so I can get everything done with no rush and stress?

I knoooow is a lot ... I'm just overthinking too much, but I'd appreciate your help and experience on this, I miss my bebe too much ...

(Sorry If I didn't post it at the Mexico's regional Forum, I'm a newbie and I couldn't find it )

It is under portals / click it and it will take you to the page for Mexico

can not answer the embassy for Mesico questions but your case will take about 3 to 4 weeks to get to NVC / they will assign case number / you can call but until the case is entered into the computer at NVC, you will not get an answer and trust me calling NVC is difficult / i emailed at inquiryNVC@state.gov

I hope you gave them an email ID to send information as that is faster then postal mail.

NVC will send you a checklist of needed documents or fees or proofs.

After NVC does your case work, it goes to embassy and anywhere from 2 weeks to 2 months to hear from them

We had to have originals in our country but not all embassies are the same / have them ready in case they are asked for
