Who Did Not Wait for Packet 3 From Ciudad Juarez?

[Ernesto y Yadira 0]

Hey VJ Community,

For those who had their interviews in Ciudad Juarez and did not wait for Packet 3 to arrive.

In other words, you just printed off the forms from the website and requested the official letter once you were there?

I would like to know if I can do the same......at least that is what I have been hearing.....is this true? When can we do this?

I called Ciudad Juarez and they informed me that only when they sent the packet 3 and when still not received.....then we can do that.

They also informed me that they received the petition on the 16th of Sept, 2009 and that it would take 3 MONTHS FOR THEM TO SEND THE PACKET 3 OUT?????? IS THIS TRUE???!!!!!

Thank you for your support,

Gracias

You can print off the forms from the website and then go up there once and ONLY once they have sent off your invitation letter (packet 3). They told Genny 2 months and she received it in about a month. I think they tell us the longest possible time just to cover their butts.... Also on the juarez thread you will find several past VJers that went to Juarez and had them print out the invitation letter. Hope this helps!!

As Andrea said and as I explain to you before, ONLY when they have sent the open appointment letter. If you call the Consulate and they give you green light when you arrive to Juarez first thing to do is ask at the Consulate to print your open appointment letter with your case number so you can follow next step which is medical examination.

Yeah, the thing is that other members are saying that they have gone when it was still processing and they just showed up with their NOA2. They didn't wait for docs to be sent. At least, that is what I have been told. Read other member comments on my profile pls.

Remember that every single case is different and we provide an average according to our experiences ... my understanding is that you are able to travel to Juarez once they have your case ... how come people travel when Consulate is not "aware" you even exist?

Be patient and keep in touch with Consulate people, I know this is a stressful situation and not being with the person you love makes this harder.

This is the last part ... be patient, you will have news soon!!

Wait, at least like a month and then you call to the consulate to check what is going on ... easy to say right??

Ok, thank you so much for your advice.

I will call them and we go from there.

I have not had a chance to read you comments regarding this matter, but I will later. I have only heard of one case that a guy went with his family before they gave him the green light. I know he had a thread it was something like Weird way to get a Visa. He was VERY lucky!!! I would not risk it, but that is me personally because there is so much money involved in the whole process and my SO lives in Queretaro so it isn't very close to Juarez. I just want to make one trip there. I would advise you to wait for the Consulate to give you the green light. I know it is hard waiting, but we are almost there. I am confident that I will hear something by the end of the month. Maybe we will end up at Juarez at the same time since our time lines are so close.

sorry, I just read your post. I haven't been on in awhile b/c things have been a bit hectic. My SO and I went to Juarez without the appt letter in September. I called and Juarez said that they were still processing to call back every2 weeks(this was the 1st week in sept). I waited til the 3rd week to call and they said that our paperwork had been processed and that they would send the packet out. I hopped on a bus and we were there on Sunday afternoon. Monday we went to the information window with a copy of the NOA2 and were given the appt letter. We made it in time to get the medical done and the next day the interview.

Hope this helps

Hi Chinman,

No you don't, open appointment letters have no signature on ... just make sure has you case number and the name at the bottom.
