Consulate Review: Juarez, Mexico
Review Topic: K1 Visa
Event Description
Review Date : December 20, 2008
Embassy Review : Alfredo went to his visa appt. well prepared. He had a folder full of stuff that he could possibly need. Although when he got there, there were alot of people that had close to nothing, expecting to get a fiance visa, and they did.

This is a list of all the stuff that was required.

1) Alfredo's invitation letter

2) My I-134,
along with my moms and my step dads
3) DS-156 filled out, NOT SIGNED (2 copies)

4) DS-156K filled out, NOT SIGNED (2 copies)
5) DS-157 filled out, (2 copies)
6) CDJ-402 filled out, NOT SIGNED (2 copies)
7) Alfredo's passport pictures

8) Proof of relationship
consisting of 57 pictures, a used calling card, the original of a envelope alfredo sent me stuff in, my E-ticket, a copy of alfredo's truck insurance bill with his address on it (to establish he lives with my parents), 3 rent receipts (showing he lives with my parents), and a copy of my check that i used to help him pay for his insurance, a letter from his mother in mexico (saying that she has met me, and likes me, and that I'm a good woman, and thinks i would make a good wife for alfredo)
9) Alfredo's birth certificate, original AND copy

10) I-797C Notice of action (Original AND copy)
11) My intent to marry letter (2 copies)
12) Alfredo's passport

13) Alfredo's police report
14) Banomex receipt


Of all the stuff that was 'required', they only took (or wanted to see) numbers 1, 2 (just my I-134, not my parents), 3, 7, 8, 9, 12, and 14. They didnt even want to see the rest of the stuff that we had, They DID look at our proof of relationship, which is something that in previous fiance cases i hadn't heard of, but they did with us.

Also, alfredo was number 5,110 just for the fiance visa section, b/c there are different sections in the new consulate where people applying for different visas have to go, well just from the fiance visa, there were that many people there, that might be why it took him 12 hours to actually get his visa.

They did not want to even look at alfredo's letters from his jobs here, saying that he has worked here (legally of course with previous h2b visas), and how much money he makes , and they didnt want my parents I-134s even though i dont make enough money to support alfredo by myself, they didnt seem to care, they lookd at the paper and said it was fine. They did ask him a series of questions like what my name was, how we met, and who some of the people in our pictures were.

He had to cross the zaragosa (sp?) point of entry, and there alfredo was taunted by the male workers for having an american girl bring him to the U.S. He was treated rudly when he went to ask if he was called, and he was called names, but he kept his cool and he got what he needed in the end. APPROVAL!!!
Rating : Good


POE Review: El Paso
Event Description
Entry Date : 2008-12-19
Embassy Review : The wait was horrible, alfredo was waiting for 2-3 hours at 6:00am, the POE was already flooded with people. He was harrassed by the Chicanos working in the building he had to enter to get his I-94, but it all worked out in our favor anyway!!!
Harassment Level : Moderate

*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.

** Not all cases are transfered
